AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on proving that the complement of the language L = {((0^n)(1^n))^m | m,n are integers greater than zero} is non-context-free. A participant suggests using the Pumping Lemma as a method for this proof. However, it is later clarified that the complement of the language is actually a context-free language (CFL), indicating that the initial assumption about its non-context-freeness was incorrect. This highlights the importance of thoroughly analyzing language properties and the applicability of theoretical tools like the Pumping Lemma in formal language theory.

I was looking for a way to prove that the complement of the following language is non-context-free:
L={((0^n)(1^n))^m | m,n are integers greater than zero}

Thank you in advance

I found out what I was missing. The complement is indeed CFL
 

Thread 'Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86'

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...

Thread 'Touch-typing for programmers'

What percentage of programmers have learned to touch type? Have you? Do you think it's important, not just for programming, but for more-than-casual computer users generally? ChatGPT didn't have much on it ("Research indicates that less than 20% of people can touch type fluently, with many relying on the hunt-and-peck method for typing ."). 'Hunt-and-peck method' made me smile. It added, "For programmers, touch typing is a valuable skill that can enhance speed, accuracy, and focus. While...

Thread 'Microsoft Technical Interview question'

I had a Microsoft Technical interview this past Friday, the question I was asked was this : How do you find the middle value for a dataset that is too big to fit in RAM? I was not able to figure this out during the interview, but I have been look in this all weekend and I read something online that said it can be done at O(N) using something called the counting sort histogram algorithm ( I did not learn that in my advanced data structures and algorithms class). I have watched some youtube...
