The language Balanced over E = {(,)} is defined recursively as follows 1. ЛЕ Вalanced. 2. Vx, y € Balanced, both xy and (x) are elements of Balanced. A prefix of a string x is a substring of x that occurs at the beginning of x. Prove by induction that a string x belongs to this language if and only if (iff) the statement B(x) is true. B(x): x contains equal numbers of left and right parentheses, and no prefix of x contains more right than left.
