| 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 |
| Turing machine | recursively enumerable languages |
| Deterministic Büchi automaton | ω-limit languages |
| Nondeterministic Büchi automaton | ω-regular languages |
| Rabin automaton, Streett automaton, Parity automaton, Muller automaton | ω-regular languages |

Famous quotes containing the words classes of and/or classes:
“The want of education and moral training is the only real barrier that exists between the different classes of men. Nature, reason, and Christianity recognize no other. Pride may say Nay; but Pride was always a liar, and a great hater of the truth.”
—Susanna Moodie (1803–1885)
“My plan of instruction is extremely simple and limited. They learn, on week-days, such coarse works as may fit them for servants. I allow of no writing for the poor. My object is not to make fanatics, but to train up the lower classes in habits of industry and piety.”
—Hannah More (1745–1833)
