( (Ab) C D - N 0, M 1) : Find Context-Free Grammars To Generate The Following Languages: I)

This document contains 8 practice questions for an automata theory course. The questions ask students to: 1) Find context-free grammars and regular grammars for various formal languages. 2) Find regular expressions and finite automata corresponding to given languages and grammars. 3) Determine determinization of a nondeterministic finite automaton. 4) Remove lambda transitions from a state diagram. 5) Find minimal deterministic finite automata. 6) Design a Turing machine for a specific formal language.
