Tape 1: Accepting states Tape 2: Current state (starts at 0) Tape 3: Input to DFA t 0 : 1 = 1 , 0 = 0 ; 1 : 1 = 0 , 0 = 1 t t 1 t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t 1 t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t 0 1 1 0 1 t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t When Tape 3 sees t, we have reached the end of the DFAs input We need to see if the current state (recorded on Tape 2) is accepting (listed on tape 1) If we find it, we accept, if not, we reject (here we accept) 17 / 40
