   1 Automaton construction and selection. | |||
| make-finite-state-automaton | |||
| Form | (make-finite-state-automaton start-state accept-state-list transitions [given-symbol-map]) | ||
| Description | Make a finite state automaton with a given start-state, a list of accept states, and a set of transitions - a list. The optional parameter is a symbol map. In case it is passed, use this as symbol map for the resulting automaton, and do not in this case compact the transitions. In normal use, do not pass any such symbol map. The function make-finite-state-automaton will make the symbol map for you. | ||
| Parameters | start-state | The start state of the automaton - an integer | |
| accept-state-list | The list of accepting states - a list of integers | ||
| transitions | A list of transitions. Transitions are made by the function make-automaton-transition | ||
| given-symbol-map | A symbol map - a sorted vector - ala an association list that maps real input symbols to terse symbols | ||
| Returns | Returns a self-contained list structure that represents the finite state automaton. | ||
