15 Questions
What is a pushdown automaton (PDA)?
A way to implement a context-free grammar with a stack for memory
What does a pushdown automaton (PDA) have in addition to a finite state machine?
An input tape, control unit, and a stack with infinite size
What does the stack of a pushdown automaton do?
Push: add a new symbol at the top, Pop: read and remove the top symbol
