Explain what is nondeterminism. Give an example.
Automata Theory
Solution:
Non determinism in automata:
In an automata, for a particular input, there are various
combinations of states in the machine.
The exact state to which the machine moves cannot be
determined.
This is called non determinism.
Consider the following example provided in the screenshot.
The automata has three states a,b and c.
It is defined over the set of alphabets 0,1.
In the given automate, see that for the input 0 in state 'a', the
machine can move to 'a' or 'b' state.
It is not possible to determine the state to which the machine
moves.
