Expert Solution
Step 1

NFA

  • NFA refers to non-deterministic finite automata.
  • It is quite easy to construct an NFA than DFA for a given regular language.
  • The finite automata are referred to as  NFA when there exist various paths for specific input from the current state to the next state.
  • It is not necessary that every NFA is  DFA, but each NFA can be translated into DFA.
  • NFA is specified in the same way as DFA but with the following two exceptions:
  • It contains multiple next states along with ε transition.
