Week 13

The test wasn't too bad. The state question was very easy, and I kept looking at the transitions to make sure there wasn't a trick somewhere in there (like making the state invariant of q1 be x equiv 2%3 rather than 1%3). I couldn't find any tricks. The other questions were less straightforward. I almost forgot that I had to prove Language equivelancy both ways and I ended up rewriting my proof in the last 5-10 minutes.

All in all, I study the wrong things. I expected the test to have questions on the pumping lemma, turning NFSAs into DFSAs into regex and things of that nature.

I'm not a big fan of tricks. I hope you don't think I've pulled any on the final --- that would make me a liar.
