The following is an incomplete list of types of automata.
| Automaton | Recognizable language |
|---|---|
| Nondeterministic/Deterministic Finite state machine (FSM) | regular languages |
| Deterministic pushdown automaton (DPDA) | deterministic context-free languages |
| Pushdown automaton (PDA) | context-free languages |
| Linear bounded automaton (LBA) | context-sensitive languages |

Famous quotes containing the word classes:
“By his very success in inventing labor-saving devices, modern man has manufactured an abyss of boredom that only the privileged classes in earlier civilizations have ever fathomed.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
