Create a Python Library for Finite Automata and Regular Languages
24. Finite Automata and Regular Languages Library
Write a Python program to create a library for working with finite automata and regular languages.
Develop a Python library to facilitate operations with finite automata and regular languages. This library should support creating and manipulating both deterministic (DFA) and non-deterministic finite automata (NFA), allowing for the definition of states, transitions, and acceptance conditions. Additionally, it should provide methods for evaluating strings against these automata to determine acceptance, enabling practical applications in pattern recognition and language processing.
Sample Solution:
Python Code :
Output:
(base) C:\Users\ME>python untitled1.py True False True False True False True False
Explanation:
- State Class: Defines a state with a name and an optional flag for being a final state.
- Transition Class: Represents a transition between states with a given symbol.
- FiniteAutomaton Class: A base class for finite automata with states, alphabet, transitions, a start state, and final states.
- DFA Class: Inherits from "FiniteAutomaton" and represents a deterministic finite automaton.
- NFA Class: Inherits from "FiniteAutomaton" and represents a non-deterministic finite automaton, using BFS for state exploration.
- Example Usage: Demonstrates creating a DFA that accepts strings ending in '0' and an NFA that accepts strings containing at least one '0'.
