Identify the regular expression for E=


i)                 Odd length of strings

ii)               Even length of strings

Regular expressions (regex) can be used to describe patterns of strings. For the problems you've asked about, we'll define regex patterns that match strings of odd and even lengths, assuming the alphabet is binary (i.e., the strings are composed of '0' and '1'). Here’s how to create them:

### i) Odd Length of Strings

To match any string of odd length, the regular expression must match strings with lengths like 1, 3, 5, etc. This can be achieved as follows:

**Regex:**  
\[01\](\[01\]\[01\])*

- \[01\] matches any single character ('0' or '1'), representing the first odd character.
- \(\[01\]\[01\]\)* matches pairs of characters ('00', '01', '10', or '11'), which can be repeated any number of times (including zero times).
  
This regex will match strings like "0", "1", "000", "111", etc.

### ii) Even Length of Strings

To match any string of even length, the regular expression must match strings with lengths like 0, 2, 4, etc. This can be achieved as follows:

**Regex:**  
(\[01\]\[01\])*

- \(\[01\]\[01\]\)* matches pairs of characters ('00', '01', '10', or '11'), which can be repeated any number of times (including zero times).
  
This regex will match strings like "", "00", "01", "1100", "1010", etc.

These regex patterns are general and can be adjusted to fit different alphabets if necessary.

1. How can we modify these regex patterns for non-binary alphabets?
2. How can we create a regex for strings of a specific length (e.g., exactly 5 characters)?
3. What is the regex for matching strings that contain an even number of '0's?
4. How can we create a regex to match strings that start and end with the same character?
5. What is the regex for matching palindromic strings of even length?

**Tip:** When building regular expressions, remember to consider edge cases like empty strings or strings composed entirely of one character.
