Prerequisite – Finite Automata Introduction
Problem: Construct deterministic finite automata (DFA) for strings not containing consecutive two a’s and starting with a.
Explanation:
Accept Strings that not contain consecutive two a’s. Check if a given string contain consecutive two a’s or not. The any occurrence of (b-z) should not affect the scenario. Strings should follow this pattern:
a.(ww|(ww.a))* where, ww = all possible character except a
All those strings that are not fall in the above mentioned pattern are not accepted.
Deterministic finite automata (DFA) of strings that not contain consecutive two a’s given as following below. The initial and starting state in this dfa is q0.
Approach used:
In this program, consider the 6 states to be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Now let us take a variable named DFA which will be initially 0. Whenever any transition takes place, it will update the value of DFA with the number associated with new state.
Example:
If a transition occurs from state 0 to state 1 then the value of DFA will be updated to 1. If a transition occurs from state 2 to state 3 then the value of dfa will be updated to 3. In this way, apply this algorithm on entire string and if in the end, then reach state 1, 2, 4 or 5 then our string will be accepted otherwise not.
Input : geeksaforaageeks Output : NOT ACCEPTED Input : aageeksforageeks Output : NOT ACCEPTED Input : ageeksaforageeks Output : ACCEPTED
Implementation:
