Finite State Machines in Forth
J. V. Noble

April 1995


Abstract

This note provides methods for constructing deterministic and nondeterministic finite state automata in Forth. The "best" method produces a one-to-one relation between the definition and the state table of the automaton. An important feature of the technique is the absence of (slow) nested IF clauses.
