What is a DFA?

A DFA, or Deterministic Finite Automaton, is a mathematical model used in computer science to represent and recognize patterns within input data. It consists of a finite number of states, transitions between those states, an initial state, and a set of accepting states. DFAs are commonly used in designing lexical analyzers, text processing, and within the field of formal language theory. They process strings of symbols one at a time and determine if the string belongs to a particular language defined by the automaton.
