Does it mean NFA or DFA? target2017 asked Nov 18, 2016 target2017 279 views answer comment Share Follow See all 2 Comments See all 2 2 Comments reply Habibkhan commented Nov 18, 2016 reply Follow Share It is NFA as NFA is easier to design than DFA..And also on the basis of previous years questions.. Also we can argue like this : NFA will take less than or equal to number of states in DFA so if asked minimal FA obviously the priority should be given to NFA instead of DFA.. 3 votes 3 votes Devshree Dubey commented Nov 18, 2016 reply Follow Share You can also Draw NFA and then later on convert it into DFA. :) 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
