There is a very close connection between Regular Expressions and Finite State Automata. Here we take a look at this connection, and then take a look at what it is they describe.
Check out the series on Finite State Automata here:
• Finite State Automata - An Introduction
For the whole series on Regex, check out our playlist:
• Regular Expressions - An Introduction
