In the first comment I was writing from the context of regular languages. i.e. assuming L1 to be regular and hence cfl. Hence the intersection will also be regular. I should have actually consider the both possibilities If L3 is regular then it can happen that L1 is cfl but not regular. 0 votes 0 votes jatin khachane 1 commented Oct 15, 2018 reply Follow Share From all this we can conclude that If property is holding in one direction it need not hold in reverse also..for all closure properties..it depend on languages 0 votes 0 votes Swapnil Naik commented Oct 15, 2018 reply Follow Share yeah, we should check all possibilities. 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
