In a team of three or four students, define a regular expression that matches ANSI/ISO C99 C-style comments as well as the text between the comments. I will supply paper for each group of students to create a deterministic finite state machine (DFA) diagram. What should the deterministic finite state machine (DFA) look like?
On the sheet of paper, please write the names of each student in the group along with "Exercise 1a: Regular Expressions" then using an Android smartphone, iPhone, tablet, webcam, or digital camera take a digital photo of the completed diagram and upload to Canvas. I will collect the paper answers as well.
