Let the valid moves along a staircase be $U$ (one step up) and $D$ (one step down). For example, the string $s = UUDU$ represents the sequence of moves as two steps up, then one step down, and then again one step up. Suppose a person is ... returns to the base of the staircase after the final step. Show that $L$ is not regular Write a context free grammar for accepting $L$
