Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a DFA with states {A,B,C,D} and transitions defined, apply the table-filling algorithm to find all indistinguishable states.

💡 Hint: Focus on pairs that lead to different outcomes based on various input strings.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss the implications of combining indistinguishable states on the efficiency of state transitions in a DFA.

💡 Hint: How does reducing the number of states help in terms of processing?
