Exercise template for assessing the interpretation of an automaton diagram (drawn with TikZ) based on randomly generated input sequences.

Name:
automaton
Type:
mchoice
Related:
logic
Description:
An automaton diagram with four states A-D is drawn with TikZ and is to be interpreted, where A is always the initial state and one state is randomly picked as the accepting state. Five binary 0/1 input sequences acceptance have to be assessed with approximately a quarter of all sequences being accepted. Depending on the exams2xyz() interface the TikZ graphic can be rendered in PNG, SVG, or directly by LaTeX.
