Regular Exrpessions

The regular expressions presented in class seemed okay until the * symbol showed up. It became very confusing and the proof that was presented made me even more confused. I went to the csc help centre and they explained how the * in this course's examples worked. I understand now so yay, but the proof is a little sketchy too. When DFSA was introduced, it sounded like a subject that would be easy, because topics with very long and confusing titles tend to be easy. It is where the name adds some confusion into the material haha. Anyways, it is not the case here. It is not so bad, I like how Danny explained it in class, he explains it so well even though he uses non-everyday words. Atleast I understand it.

Right now I'm looking at the final problem set due this thursday, and I must say, i spent a good amount of time trying to figure out how to deal with languages and stuff in this context. I'm going to attempt it now and I'll see how I do after this night. Bye for now.
