Question 1

What is the primary reason NFAs are considered easier to design than DFAs?

A. DFAs cannot transition on empty input
B. NFAs allow multiple possible transitions for the same input
C. DFAs require more memory
D. NFAs are silent during processing

💡 Hint: Think about how NFAs can take various paths based on input.

Question 2

True or False: Kleene's Theorem states that only DFAs can recognize regular languages.

True
False

💡 Hint: Recall the definitions of regularity in computation.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design an NFA for the regular expression 'a(b|c)*d' and show how it can be converted into a DFA.

💡 Hint: Start with recognizing the base patterns established in the regex.

Challenge 2 Hard

Examine a language that is not regular and explain how knowing about NFAs and DFAs helps clarify this.

💡 Hint: Consider the implications of finite memory in language processing.
