Bach language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In theoretical computer science, the Bach language is the formal language over an alphabet of three distinct symbols containing all strings in which the three symbols occur equally often. The Bach language is a context-sensitive language.
Pullum (1983) called this the Bach language, because it was first discussed in Bach (1981).
