ε-NFA: Epsilon-Nondeterministic finite automaton

What is Epsilon-Nondeterministic finite automaton

ε-NFA: Epsilon-Nondeterministic finite automaton (so call:Nondeterministic finite automaton with ε-moves)

In the automata theory, a nondeterministic finite automaton with ε-moves (NFA-ε)(also known as NFA-λ) is an extension of nondeterministic finite automaton(NFA), which allows a transformation to a new state without consuming any input symbols. The transitions without consuming an input symbol are called ε-transitions or λ-transitions. In the state diagrams, they are usually labeled with the Greek letter ε or λ.

Usage

Following is sample code to implement a epsilon-NFA automata diagram as follow:

package main

import (
    "github.com/kkdai/enfa"
    "fmt"
)

func main() {

	nfa := NewENFA(0, false)
	nfa.AddState(1, false)
	nfa.AddState(2, false)
	nfa.AddState(3, true)
	nfa.AddState(4, false)
	nfa.AddState(5, false)

	nfa.AddTransition(0, "1", 1)
	nfa.AddTransition(0, "0", 4)

	nfa.AddTransition(1, "1", 2)
	nfa.AddTransition(1, "", 3) //epsilon
	nfa.AddTransition(2, "1", 3)
	nfa.AddTransition(4, "0", 5)
	nfa.AddTransition(4, "", 1, 2) //E -> epsilon B C
	nfa.AddTransition(5, "0", 3)

	nfa.PrintTransitionTable()

	if !nfa.VerifyInputs([]string{"1"}) {
		fmt.Printf("Verify inputs is failed")
	}

	nfa.Reset()

	if !nfa.VerifyInputs([]string{"1", "1", "1"}) {
		fmt.Printf("Verify inputs is failed")
	}

	nfa.Reset()

	if !nfa.VerifyInputs([]string{"0", "1"}) {
		fmt.Printf"Verify inputs is failed")
	}

	nfa.Reset()
	if !nfa.VerifyInputs([]string{"0", "0", "0"}) {
		fmt.Printf("Verify inputs is failed")
	}
}
