About this video

#tafl #gatecse #gateexam #gatepreparation #designpda #topGate Pushdown Automata (PDA) is a type of automaton used in the theory of computation and formal language. It is an extension of finite automata that has a stack to store information during its computation. A PDA can be formally defined as a 7-tuple (Q, Σ, Γ, δ, q0, Z, F), where: Q is a finite set of states. Σ is a finite set of input symbols, also known as the alphabet. Γ is a finite set of stack symbols. δ is a transition function that maps Q x (Σ ∪ {ε}) x Γ* to subsets of Q x Γ*, where ε represents the empty string and Γ* is the set of all possible strings that can be formed by the stack symbols. q0 is the initial state. Z is the initial stack symbol. F is the set of final (or accepting) states. A PDA reads an input string symbol by symbol from left to right, just like a finite automaton. However, it can also push and pop symbols onto its stack. The transition function δ takes into account the current state, the input symbol, and the top symbol on the stack to determine the next state and what to do with the stack. A PDA accepts an input string if there is a sequence of transitions that leads from the initial state to a final state while correctly manipulating the stack. PDA has several applications in computer science, including parsing, the recognition of context-free languages, and the evaluation of programming language expressions. pda in english pushdown automata in english automata lectures in english toc lectures in english atfl lectures in english pda for language pda introduction introduction to pda what is pda operations in pda push operation in pda pop operation in pda bypass operation in pda skip operation in pda pda pda example cse gate gate exam pushdown automata pushdown automata example topgate construction of pda design a pda top gate questions cse gate examples accept a string by pda automata gate computer science computer science lectures automata for gate theory of computation toc atfl tafl automata theory & formal languages gate lectures automata lectures automata theory toc lectures toc for gate theory of computation lectures
