&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;In [[computer science]], a '''pushdown automaton''' (PDA) is a type of [[Automata theory|automaton]] that employs a [[Stack (abstract data type)|stack]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Description ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pushdown automata are used in theories about what can be computed by machines. They are more capable than finite-state machines but less capable than [[Turing machine|Turing machines]]. Deterministic pushdown automata can recognize all deterministic context-free languages while nondeterministic ones can recognize all context-free languages, with the former often used in parser design.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term &amp;quot;pushdown&amp;quot; refers to the fact that the stack can be regarded as being &amp;quot;pushed down&amp;quot; like a tray dispenser at a cafeteria, since the operations never work on elements other than the top element. A stack automaton, by contrast, does allow access to and operations on deeper elements. Stack automata can recognize a strictly larger set of languages than pushdown automata.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A nested stack automaton allows full access, and also allows stacked values to be entire sub-stacks rather than just single finite symbols.&lt;br /&gt;
