( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Wise Monks,
Yes, this is homework. I'm looking for explanation, not just the answer
I would like to enlist your help in coming up with two general regular expressions. Perl code is not necessary only general regular expression notation. Thank you,
1)The set of strings over {a,b,c} with an odd number of occurences of the substring ab

2)The set of strings over {a,b} with an even number of a's or an odd number of b's

Thanks again
OK! people solution for problem 1: (b U a*c)* a+b (b U a*c)* ((b U a*c)* a+b (b U a*c)* a+b (b U a*c)*)*

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
