[Solved]: Expressing semantics of an array as a function
Problem Detail: An assignment questions asks the following: Consider an array ‘var a : array[1..10] of real’. Express the semantics of this array as a function, defining the domain and codomain (you might also be able to write the rule). In Read More …
[Solved]: How do you describe a language that is generated by Context Free Grammer
Problem Detail: I am familiar with describing Regular Expressions but when it comes to describing CFG I get confused. Do you describe it in words like you would regular expressions or do you do something like this ? this is the Read More …
[Solved]: Are two elements always in a relation within a partially ordered set?
Problem Detail: In a partially ordered set, am I always able to order two arbitrary elements out of the set? Or is it possible that two elements within the set have no order relation to each other? For example if there Read More …
[Solved]: Are compilers able to detect alternating accesses to arrays and interleave them in memory?
Problem Detail: Is it possible to design a compiler which optimizes a loop in which arrays are accessed in alternate fashion? For example like this: // int[] a,b int sum = 0; for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) { Read More …
[Solved]: Deterministic Turing Machine with infine tape in both directions
Problem Detail: Consider a deterministic Turing Machine $D$ which has an infinite tape in both directions. We don’t have exact information about it; what we know is that its alphabet is ${a, b, c}$ and there are at least three states Read More …
