How does one implement a DFA or an NFA for that matter in Python code? What are some good ways to do it in Python? Are they ever used in real world projects?

Can´t find anything affirmative about it. And a NFA with any epsilon transition is a epsilon-NFA ? Thanks.

I have a DFA (Q, Σ, δ, q0, F) with some “don't care transitions.” These transitions model symbols which are known not to appear in the input in some situations. If any such transition i...

In DFA we can do the intersection of two automata by doing the cross product of the states of the two automata and accepting those states that are accepting in both the initial automata. Union is p...
