18CS54 ATC Question Bank Module 4 and 5

This document contains a question bank for the subjects Automata Theory and Computability and Decidability and Complexity from the Department of Computer Science & Engineering. It includes 14 multiple choice and descriptive questions covering topics like Turing machines, context-free languages, decidability, and computational complexity. The questions are divided into two modules - Module 4 focuses on algorithms and decision procedures for context-free languages and Turing machines, while Module 5 covers decidability, the halting problem, and computational complexity classes.
