I wouldn't say it was "easy", indeed I think it took me a week of coding at least, maybe two, but it really helped cement NFA, DFA, powerset, etc. as well as how regular expressions actually work.
Good luck :-D
When I was trying to grok that stuff way back when, I wrote an NFA/DFA library in Lua, and then wrote utility functions onto it to add things like kleene star, etc. Before finally writing the NFA->DFA and then state reduction (Hopcroft) implementations. That route helped me.
Boo, there was me hoping for snakeskin armour :-)
Then free-handed ellpeck will seem to win to begin (with both hands available for slapfights) but then other ellpeck will fight dirty and throw the soil in his opponent's eyes. "Foul!" will be cried, but the winner will be clear
While it's a little trite, I'd say that you'd get treatment for a broken bone, so why deny your mind treatment? If you don't want to try drugs, then maybe just spoken therapy would be enough to help you a bit?
Either way, *hugs*
Right, but even if you think the question shows you as stupid, at least one other person in your tutor group is probably pleased you asked so they didn't have to -- think of it as a public service :-D
I am currently deciding if I can cope with cycling to work in the future - if I do, I'll take the 6 mile (very little on-road) route rather than the 3 mile (on-road) route I think.
