I am currently taking a CS into course about computer theory. We are beginning to learn regular expressions and using JFLAP to build FAs. I have this FA that only accepts words that have an even number of subrings 'ab' within it: FA that only accepts an even number of substrings 'ab'
What I don't fully understand is why at the final point q6 it goes to q3. My apologies if I am not asking the question correctly here this is new to me.
I have messed around with the FA to change the reject/accept results, but I am still struggling to properly understand the logic behind this.
