Deterministic Finite-state Automata
Description:
- Simple model, limited memory, has exactly 1 state at any given time
- each pair of state and input value mapped to a unique next state
- deterministic, opposite to Nondeterministic Finite-state Automata (NFA)
- unlike eg, dice
- Can only transition to 1 more state
- example
- two states and
- is the start state, is the final state
- input alphabet is
- next state is depending on the current state and the input
