With respect to regexes...

I certainly didn't expect to encounter these in this course!

After A2 of CSC207, I've taken a liking to regexes, and the idea of treating them as string-generators rather than string-finders is pretty neat. Languages are an interesting idea, though, and the idea of performing operations on regexes is novel and interesting.

DFSAs are way cooler though!

Making completely arbitrary machines that can perform pretty much any conceivable task on a binary number is awesome, and I've been doing some reading up on them and Turing machines and this is where it seems the really hardcore theory starts.
