Deterministic finite automaton dfa nondeterministic finite automaton ndfa nfa deterministic finite automaton dfa in dfa, for each input symbol, one can determine the state to which the machine will move. On the other hand, dfa has one and only one move from a given state on a given input symbol. The table can be filled using shortcut by first copying the nfa table for the first four states since they are same as the nfa.
