Question 1

What is a DFA?

  • A type of non-deterministic automaton
  • A Deterministic Finite Automaton
  • A random state machine

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the properties of determinism in relation to automata.

Question 2

True or False: A DFA can ever have multiple transitions for the same input symbol from a given state.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the deterministic nature of this automaton.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a DFA that accepts strings where the number of '1's is odd and the number of '0's must be any.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Keep track of the parity for '1's as you define your transitions.

Question 2

Create a combined DFA that recognizes both strings ending with '0' and containing 'ab'. What states would be required?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think of how you could overlap the conditions of both DFAs!
