Regular Expression for multiple a’s and multiple b’s

Regular Expression for multiple a’s and multiple b’s

Regular Expression: (a+b)+

Regular Expression for multiple a’s or multiple b’s or no a and no b

R.E = (a+b)* 

Language of all those strings having multiple a’s and b’s, Set of strings of a’s and b’s of any length including the null string. So L = { ε, a, b, aa , ab , bb , ba, aaa…….}.

Acceptable strings (part of the language)

These strings are part of the given language and must be accepted by our Regular Expression.

  • 3 strings of length 1 ={null, a, b}
  • 4 strings of length 2 = {aa, bb, ab and ba}
  • 3 strings of length 3 = {aba, bab, aaa, and many more similar strings }
  • 3 strings of length 4 = {aabb, aaaa, bbbb, and many more similar strings }
  • 3 strings of length 7 = {aaaaaaa, bbbbbbb, abababa, and many more similar strings }
  • 3 strings of length 10 = {abaaaaaaaa, bababbbbbb, aaaaaaaaaa, and many more similar strings }
  • 3 strings of length 15 = {aabbaabbaabbaab, bbaabababbbbbbb, aaaaaaaabbbbbbb, and many more similar strings }
  • 3 strings of length 20 = {aaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbb, aaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbb, bbbbbbbbbbbbbbaaaaaa, and many more similar strings }
  • 3 strings of length 25 = {aaaaabbbbbaaaaabbbbbaaaaa, aaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbb, bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaa, and many more similar strings }
  • Many more similar strings

Rejectable string

These strings are not part of the given language and must be rejected by our Regular Expression.

No Reject able string defined over {a,b}
