1.Given a NFA and find the min. number of states in equivalent DFA ?
2.Given a NFA and find number of states in equivalent minimal DFA?
Now assume i am able to recognize the language from the given machine and i can construct the minimal DFA without subset construction algorithm.Assume I got answer as 5,and if i apply the subset construction algorithm i get 7 as answer.So what will be my final answer for 1 and 2?
