Benefits of DFA
High-reliability Is DFA a proof or show? Mathematics is a modeling method Proofs are social constructsDiagrammatics

Fox, Grain, Chicken Problem
A man is crossing a river on the way to market with a chicken, a bag of grain and a fox. If left unattended the fox will eat the chicken, and the chicken will eat the grain. The boat will only hold the man and one of these at a time. Your task is to work out a sequence of crossings that will affect a safe transfer of the man, the fox, the chicken and the grain safely across the river.

Text: CeFCGeC
Translating into English, the input string represents: Man and chicken cross river Man returns with empty boat Man and fox cross river Man returns with chicken Man and grain cross river Man returns with empty boat Main and chicken cross river
