About JFLAP
JFLAP is software for experimenting with formal languages topics including nondeterministic
finite automata, nondeterministic pushdown automata, multi-tape Turing machines, several types
of grammars, parsing, and L-systems. In addition to constructing and testing examples for
these, JFLAP allows one to experiment with construction proofs from one form to another, such
as converting an NFA to a DFA to a minimal state DFA to a regular expression or regular
grammar.
