Question
Give English descriptions of the language described by each of the following regular expressions:
(1 + ε) (00*1)*0*
Solution
The regular expression (1 + ε) (00*1)0 describes a language with the following properties:
-
(1 + ε): This part of the regular expression means that the string can start with a '1' or it can start with an empty string (ε).
-
(001): This part of the regular expression means that after the initial '1' or empty string, the string can have any number of repetitions of the pattern '00*1'. This pattern means '0' followed by any number of '0's (including none) followed by '1'.
-
0*: This part of the regular expression means that the string can end with any number of '0's (including none).
So, in English, the regular expression describes a language where each string starts with a '1' or nothing, followed by any number of repetitions of the pattern '0' followed by any number of '0's followed by '1', and ends with any number of '0's.
