Define: (i) Finite Automaton(FA) (ii)Transition diagram



               FA consists of a finite set of states and a set of transitions from state to state that occur on input symbols chosen from an alphabet  ∑.  Finite Automaton is denoted by a
5- tuple(Q,∑,δ,q0,F), where Q is the finite set of states , ∑ is a finite input alphabet, q0 in Q is the initial state, F is the set of final states and  δ is the transition mapping function 
Q * Σ  to Q.
               Transition diagram is a directed graph in which the vertices of the graph correspond to the states of  FA. If  there is a transition from state q to state p on input a, then there is an arc labeled ‘ a ‘ from q to p in the transition diagram.
