3 3/14 Languages over finite words Σ : finite alphabet Σ = set of all words over Σ Language: A set of finite words { ab, abab, ababab,...} finite words starting with an a finite words starting with a b { ε, b, bb, bbb,...} { ε, ab, abab, ababab,...} { ε, bbb, bbbbbb, (bbb) 3,...} words starting and ending with an a { ε, ab, aabb, aaabbb,a 4 b 4...}

4 4/14 Regular expressions Σ : finite alphabet Σ = set of all words over Σ Language: A set of finite words ab(ab) { ab, abab, ababab,...} aσ bσ finite words starting with an a finite words starting with a b b (ab) (bbb) { ε, b, bb, bbb,...} { ε, ab, abab, ababab,...} { ε, bbb, bbbbbb, (bbb) 3,...} aσ a words starting and ending with an a { ε, ab, aabb, aaabbb,a 4 b 4...}
