DFA vs NFA engines: What is the difference in their capabilities and limitations?
问题 I am looking for a non-technical explanation of the difference between DFA vs NFA engines, based on their capabilities and limitations. 回答1: Deterministic Finite Automatons (DFAs) and Nondeterministic Finite Automatons (NFAs) have exactly the same capabilities and limitations. The only difference is notational convenience. A finite automaton is a processor that has states and reads input, each input character potentially setting it into another state. For example, a state might be "just read
