DFA for Strings not ending with "THE"

Problem – Accept Strings that not ending with substring “THE”. Check if a given string is ending with “the” or not. The different forms of “the” which are avoided in the end of the string are:

"THE", "ThE", "THe", "tHE", "thE", "The", "tHe" and "the"

All those strings that are ending with any of the above mentioned forms of “the” are not accepted.

Determinitis finite automata (DFA) of strings that not ending with “THE” –
The initial and starting state in this dfa is Qo

Approach used in the program –
In this program, consider the 4 states to be 0, 1, 2 and 3. 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 0, 1 or 2 then our string will be accepted otherwise not.
