Lecture Topic: More NFA
Design a state diagram for an NFA that accepts
L = \{w \in \{a,b,c\}^* | \text{w starts with abc, ends with aab, and contains the substring bb}\}
So, the first three states must be connecting a, b and c
(D) -a, b, c> (D) (F) -a, b, c> (F) (A) -a> (B) -b> (C) -c> (D) -b> (E) -b> (F) -a> (G) -a> (H) -b> ((I))
It's important that on D and F, that b is allowed to loop, as if it did not, some valid strings would not be accepted, as it would only allow for two bs in the middle
