The shortest PowerPoint ever.
JFLAP – What is it?

Java applet to help make diagrams for:





DFA
NFA
regular grammar
regular expression
Also does conversion from DFA  NFA
JFLAP – Where can I get it?


http://www.jflap.org/ - Main website
http://java.sun.com/ - Java website

The Java Runtime Environment is required
Running JFLAP



Install the JRE
Navigate to
http://www.jflap.org/getjflap.html
An applet window will appear
Simple DFA

Select “Finite Automaton”
Adding Nodes

Click this here button
Adding Nodes

Now click on the workspace to add it
Setting the initial state

Click the “attribute editor” button
Setting the initial state

Right click on the node and select initial
Setting accept states

Right click on any node and select Final
Making transitions for nodes

Click the “transition creator”
Making transitions for nodes

Now simply click and drag between any

Making transitions for nodes



After dragging, just specify what
transition is being made.
Single-clicking on any node will add a
reflexive transition
Separate multiple input transitions by
commas (ex: 0,1)
A simple DFA
Deleting nodes, transitions

Click the skull & crossbones
