Theory of Computation (Automata)
Select the accurate description of Context-sensitive language.
- A. The process of reducing a deterministic finite automaton to the smallest possible number of states while preserving its language.
- B. A class of formal languages recognized by a linear-bounded automaton, more powerful than context-free languages. ✓
- C. A property used to prove that certain languages are not regular by showing they cannot be 'pumped' while remaining in the language.
- D. A finite-state machine whose output values are determined solely by its current state.
Correct answer
B. A class of formal languages recognized by a linear-bounded automaton, more powerful than context-free languages.
Explanation
Context-sensitive language refers to a class of formal languages recognized by a linear-bounded automaton, more powerful than context-free languages.
