Is the following a DFA/FFA?

Let us look at the definition. A deterministic finite-state automaton is a 5-tuple ( Q , Σ , δ , q 0 , F ) where the set of accepting (or final) states F satisfies that F ⊆ Q . So F can be any set of states taken from Q , including the empty set ∅ and the total set of states Q . read more

My first blush impression is "no, it's a D-flip-flop" My beef is that I don't have initial conditions for enough inputs to make it a DFA, but that for any given state, and any given set of R/S inputs, the outputs are deterministic. read more

Each input to a DFA or NFA affects the state of the automaton: if it was in state $q$ immediately before the input, either it will be in some state $q'$ after the input, or the input will cause it to choke. read more

DFA and Moore machines belong to two different classes of Finite Automaton. Moore machines are output generators whereas DFAs are string acceptors. Though Moore machines are Deterministic in nature, they can’t accept or reject any string. They have no final states. They will only produce output for a given string. read more

NFA vs DFA The theory of computation is a branch of computer science that deals with how problems are solved using algorithms. It has three branches, namely; the computational complexity theory, the computability theory, and the automaton theory. read more
