11th Entry

We've been learning all about context-free grammars for the past couple of weeks and it's pretty interesting stuff. At least to me anyway. I don't find this topic difficult to understand at all, and like I said before, I think it's actually quite enjoyable (well maybe not enjoyable, but you know what I mean)...

I've been experimenting with trying to make different DFSA/NFSA machines for different languages to practice for the upcoming test, and so far so good. Also last week A3 was due, which my partner and I managed to finish and hand in on time. I think it went pretty well. The only thing that I have to reflect on is loop invariants, and proving that RE's can/can-not represent a particular language. I think that's probably the hardest part of this entire topic.

Other then that, the semester is winding down and we're just about entering the exam period. It's been a heavy work-load this semester but all in all I think I pulled through and did well. The test this Friday is all about regex, languages, context-free grammars and all that other fun stuff.

I'm going to begin studying tomorrow... If I come across anything that really confuses me, or that I just find interesting, I'll be sure to post in my SLOG about it... That's it for now!
