31 From Regulr expressions to NFA 31

32 From reg. exp. to utomt Theorem: there is n lgorithm to uild n NFA+Є utomton for ny regulr expression Proof: y indution on the struture of the regulr expression For eh su-expression R we uild n utomton with extly one strt stte nd one epting stte Strt stte hs no inoming trnsitions Aepting stte hs no outgoing trnsitions 32
