10. Write a program to find ε – closure of all states of any given NFA with ε transition.


Certainly! Here's a simple Python program to find the ε-closure of all states in a given NFA (Non-deterministic Finite Automaton) with ε-transitions. I'll provide an explanation for each line of the code:


```python

def epsilon_closure(nfa, state):

    closure = set()

    stack = [state]

    

    while stack:

        current_state = stack.pop()

        closure.add(current_state)

        

        if current_state in nfa and '' in nfa[current_state]:

            for epsilon_state in nfa[current_state]['']:

                if epsilon_state not in closure:

                    stack.append(epsilon_state)

    

    return closure


# Given NFA transitions with epsilon

nfa = {

    'q0': {'': ['q1', 'q2']},

    'q1': {'a': ['q3']},

    'q2': {'': ['q3']},

    'q3': {'b': ['q4']},

    'q4': {'': ['q5']}

}


for state in nfa:

    closure = epsilon_closure(nfa, state)

    print(f'Epsilon-closure of {state}: {closure}')

```


Explanation of each line:


1. `def epsilon_closure(nfa, state):`: Defines a function `epsilon_closure` that calculates the ε-closure of a given state in an NFA.


2. `closure = set()`: Initializes an empty set to store the ε-closure states.


3. `stack = [state]`: Initializes a stack with the initial state to process states iteratively.


4. `while stack:`: Enters a loop that continues until the stack is empty.


5. `current_state = stack.pop()`: Pops a state from the stack for processing.


6. `closure.add(current_state)`: Adds the current state to the ε-closure set.


7. `if current_state in nfa and '' in nfa[current_state]:`: Checks if the current state has ε-transitions.


8. `for epsilon_state in nfa[current_state]['']:`: Iterates through each state reachable by an ε-transition from the current state.


9. `if epsilon_state not in closure:`: Checks if the epsilon state is not already in the closure.


10. `stack.append(epsilon_state)`: Adds the epsilon state to the stack for further processing.


11. `return closure`: Returns the calculated ε-closure set for the input state.


13. `nfa = {...}`: Defines the NFA transitions with ε-transitions. Replace this with your NFA transitions.


15. `for state in nfa:`: Iterates through each state in the NFA.


16. `closure = epsilon_closure(nfa, state)`: Calls the `epsilon_closure` function to find the ε-closure of the current state.


17. `print(f'Epsilon-closure of {state}: {closure}')`: Prints the ε-closure of the current state.


Remember that this example assumes a specific structure for the NFA transitions. Modify the `nfa` dictionary to match your NFA's transitions and states.

12. Write a program to convert NFA to DFA.

Converting a Non-Deterministic Finite Automaton (NFA) to a Deterministic Finite Automaton (DFA) involves creating a new DFA where each state corresponds to a set of NFA states reachable under certain conditions. Below is a simple Python program to perform this conversion. I'll explain each line of code: ```python from collections import defaultdict def epsilon_closure(states, transitions, epsilon):     closure = set(states)     stack = list(states)          while stack:         state = stack.pop()         for next_state in transitions[state].get(epsilon, []):             if next_state not in closure:                 closure.add(next_state)                 stack.append(next_state)          return closure def nfa_to_dfa(nfa_states, nfa_transitions, alphabet, start_state, n...
