If a string S is accepted by a finite state automaton, S=s1s2s3……sn where siϵ∑ and there exists a sequence of states r0, r1, r2…… rn such that δ(r(i), si+1) =ri+1 for each 0, 1, …n-1, then r(n) is:
(a) initial state
(b) transition symbol
(c) accepting state
(d) intermediate state
I got this question in an online interview.
My question is taken from Extended Transition Function in portion Finite Automata of Automata Theory
