Assignment 3 and Finite State Automata

This week, I am really hoping that I will be able to finish Assignment 3 by the weekend – or at least a rough draft. For Assignment 2, I found it really beneficial finishing a rough draft about a week before the due date and then spending the rest of the time looking it over and asking for any clarifications that I needed. I have already read over the assignment problems and looked over the sections of the course notes that are relevant to each question. I find that doing these assignments is what really consolidates the concepts we talk about in class. I find the questions to always be more challenging than the ones discussed in lectures and tutorials and that they require a lot of thought – in a good way.

Last week, we started learning about finite state automata. I was actually quite confused in lecture on what a finite state automaton actually is and what they are used for so I did some additional reading on my own to clear things up. As always, the tutorials were very helpful.

I hope everyone has a great week!
