Which of the following is TRUE about the Pumping Lemma for regular languages?

Pick an option to check yourself, or open the answer below.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A. It is a property used to prove that languages are not regular

Explanation

The pumping lemma states a property every regular language has, so it is used (by contradiction) to prove that a language is not regular. CFLs have their own pumping lemma, and it does not apply to all RE languages.
