·
Start state: The leftmost state.
·
Intermediate state: The middle state.
·
Final/Accepting state: The rightmost state.
Information Booster:
1.
Key Points:
· Regular expressions describe the set of strings accepted by finite automata.
· The * operator allows repetition of sub patterns, which aligns with the looping structure in the automaton.
2.
Practical Application:
· Used for pattern matching in programming.
· Helps in lexical analysis for compilers.
