Now that we have some core concepts laid out, let's dive into exploring how we can recognize a language. A natural way to do this is with a machine, a model of computation. We see one of the basic ones today, called a deterministic finite automaton (DFA). We have an overview of the concepts here, next time we'll explore designing DFAs beyond this.

Time Stamps:
0:00 Recap
0:29 Setup and motivation, a toggle machine. How do finite automata work on a high level?
15:18 Definition of a deterministic finite automaton (DFA)
24:05 Applying the formal definition to describe a particular DFA, and how it processes strings (high level).
36:34 Transition table and transition diagram
57:39 Languages recognized by DFAs, the regular languages. A definition.
59:01 Closing

Have a beautiful day!
