Data Link Layer Concepts
Link Layer Address
The address used to identify a device on a local network.
Data Link Control (DLC)
Responsible for flow control and error control in the data link layer.
Media Access Control (MAC)
The lower sublayer of the data link layer, defined by the IEEE 802 project. It defines access methods and control in different local area network protocols.

Understanding the Pumping Lemma for Regular Languages
Pumping Lemma
- The Pumping Lemma states that for any regular language L, there exists a constant ‘M’ (related to the number of states in the accepting finite automaton) such that any word ‘w’ in L with length greater than or equal to ‘M’ can be decomposed into three substrings, x, y, and z (w = xyz), where:
- The substring ‘y’ is not empty.
- The length of the concatenation of ‘x’ and ‘y’ is less than or equal to ‘M’.
- For any non-negative integer ‘n’, the string xynz is also in L. (This means we can ‘pump’

Challenge 9
1. How do preferences, files, and databases differ? Under what circumstances would each be appropriate?
Shared Preferences store key-value pairs in an XML file. This file can be read by other apps only if the MODE_WORLD_READABLE or MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE mode is specified. Files are useful for writing larger amounts of information that might not be suited for shared preferences. Files can be stored in Internal Storage or External Storage (SD card). Databases are ideal for repeating or structured
