sigma star (discuss.tchncs.de)

image transcription:

an image incorporating two famous memes. on top is the title "learning about Σ* in theory of computation."

in the centre is a close-up of Chad face – often used when talking about sigma males – cropped in a five-pointed star shape.

below are two soyjaks pointing towards the aforementioned Chad face. those soyjaks are labeled "me" and "my brain".

It's funny, I never associated formal languages as part of the theory of computation. We only learnt about them from the perspective of automata/state machine theory

Automata and formal languages were pretty much my entire "Theory of Computation" class. It's what's in Sipser.
