About
This application helps computer science students learn algorithm design using finite automata. Students can manually design automata on paper and then input them into the app to test their functionality. It supports creating states, defining transitions, and marking final states.

FAQ
What is Finite Automata used for?
Finite Automata is designed as an educational tool for computer science courses. It helps students learn to design algorithms using finite automata by allowing them to input and test their designs.
How do I create states in Finite Automata?
You can create states using the 'states n' command to create states from 0 to n-1, where state 0 is always the initial state. You can also add individual states using the 'add n' command.
Can I mark multiple final states in Finite Automata?
Yes, you can toggle any state as a final state using the 'final n' command. Multiple states can be designated as final states.
How does Finite Automata handle transitions?
Transitions are defined using the format 'st1 event st2', where 'st1' is the starting state, 'event' is a string representing the input, and 'st2' is the destination state. You can also delete specific transitions.
What happens if I delete a state in Finite Automata?
If you use the 'del state1' command, the specified state and all its related transitions will be removed from the automaton.
Is Finite Automata available on multiple devices?
Yes, Finite Automata is supported on iPhone, iPad, and iPod, making it accessible for various Apple devices.
How often is Finite Automata updated?
The app was last updated on November 25, 2015, with version 1.1. It was initially released on October 4, 2015.
What is the age rating for Finite Automata?
Finite Automata has an age rating of 4+, making it suitable for a wide range of users, including younger students learning computer science concepts.
