Finite State Automata - From Theory to Code

This video presents in detail the creation of a general-purpose state machine using JavaScript. The result is code that we can quickly adapt to any finite automata by changing a few constants. This code can be tested in the W3Schools' JavaScript Online Editor www.w3schools.com/js/js_edito....

Really well done! And an excellent presentation.

Impressive and didactic explanation.👋👋👋
Thank you so much

Thanks for the video. Great content.
About the const vs let situation mentioned at 24:48, one could have argued that, given the type of language 'js' is, you should have used a linter to warn you. But it is, nonetheless, a fair remark to be made about 'js'.
Note that you forget to include an "edit comment" about the `inputSequence` syntax error at 23:50 :)

I think it should be a crime to teach computer theory without following up with some code

What is this shit? 😂😂😂
