Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Create a formal proof for a DFA that recognizes binary strings with an odd number of '1's. Discuss the induction steps.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use similar structures as we did for the even count, but adjust for odd conditions.

Question 2

Analyze a hypothetical DFA that makes a mistake in its design by failing to recognize a specific string. What potential issues could arise?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think of test cases that could expose such flaws.
