Reflection¶
FAs are a useful theoretical tool to model simple computation, but do they have any directly practical applications?
Yes, they do! Typical examples include:
- Design of lexical analysis in compilers.
- Searching and replacing using regular expressions. (Popular with Web development and Data Science.)
Can you find more?
Info
You don't have to hand-in your reflection -- this is not an assessment. Keep your notes and go over them as you understand the material more. Some of the above ideas will become clear in one week, while others will be met again towards the end of the module!
