Program to build DFA that accepts the languages ending with “01” over the characters {0, 1}

Given a binary string str, the task is to build a DFA that accepts the languages ending with “01” over the characters {0, 1}.

Examples:

Input: str = “00011101” Output: String Accepted Explanation: As the given string ends with “01”, therefore, it is accepted.
Input: str = “00001111” Output: String Rejected Explanation: As the given string ends with “11”, therefore, it is rejected.

Approach: To solve the above problem, below are the class state and member function needed:

Pair 1: It deals with the first type of input i.e. 0 and links it with an object pointer to the next state.
Pair 2: It deals with the second type of input i.e. 1 and links it with an object pointer to the next state.
m_x: It defines whether a particular state is initial or final.

Class member functions are defined below:

initialize(): This function takes the two pairs(used for two kinds of inputs) as parameters along with the state defining character(i or f).
transition(): This acts as a transition table for the automata and with a particular input it goes from one state to next state.
traverse(): This function takes the input string and passes it through the automata.
check(): This function checks whether after the input has ended the end state is a final state or not. If it is final then the string is accepted otherwise rejected.

For this problem three states are needed. Hence, create three-class objects and initialize them with required values as:

State 1: On input 0 it goes to State 2 and on input 1 it goes to itself.
State 2: On input 0 it goes to itself and on input 1 it goes to State 3.
State 3: On input 0 it goes to State 2 and on input 1 goes to State 1. Also, this is our final state.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:
