DFA
For every string x, there is a unique path
from initial state and associated with x.
x
NFA
For any string x, there may exist none or
more than one path from initial state
and associated with x.
x is accepted if there is some path that
ends at a accept state.

Regular Expressions
- Alphabet X = {a, b, c, d}
1) (a + b)*
all strings containing only a and b
2) c(a + b + c)*c2
all strings containing only a, b, and c that begin with c and
end with cc
3) all strings containing only one b
(a+c+d)*b(a+c+d)*
Regular Expressions
- Alphabet X = {0, 1}
1) (0 + 1)*
the set of all binary strings
2) 031*04
all strings consisting of three 0s, followed by any number
of 1s, followed by four 0s
3) 0*1001*
all strings starting with any number of 0s, followed by
100, followed by and number of 1s
