In theoretical computer science, a regular language is a formal language (i.e., a possibly infinite set of finite sequences of symbols from a finite alphabet) that satisfies the following equivalent properties:it can be accepted by a deterministic finite state machineit can be accepted by a nondeterministic finite state machineit can be accepted by an alternating finite automatonit can be described by a regular expression. Note that the "regular expression" features provided with many programming languages are augmented with features that make them capable of recognizing languages which are not regular.it can be generated by a regular grammarit can be generated by a prefix grammarit can be accepted by a read-only Turing machineit can be defined in monadic second-order logic
