formal language is a set of strings of symbols drawn from a finite alphabet. A formal language can be specified either by a set of rules (such as regular expressions or a context-free grammar) that generates the language, or by a formal machine that accepts (recognizes) the language. A formal machine takes strings of symbols as input and outputs either “yes” or “no.” A machine is said to accept a language if it says “yes” to all and only those strings that are in the language.
