3. Exam content
The exam covers everything we have done, up to and including Section 11.3.1. (Section 10.1 will be on the next exam.) While the exam is cumulative, we will focus on what was not already tested. Here are some topics we emphasized since the last exam:- theory of computation
- deterministic finite automata (DFAs): with or without output, state diagrams, state tables.
- regular grammars: derivations.
- regular expressions.
- regular languages: three faces of regular.
- please adhere to social conventions.
- context-free grammars, parse trees (11.3.1).
As usual, please note that this document is not a contract. I may have inadvertently left something off that ends up on an exam question. Moreover, I will not be able to test all of this material given the time limitations of the exam. I will have to pick and choose some subset of it.
