What is a Non-deterministic Finite Automata (NFA)?

Answer

NFA allows multiple next states for one input.

A Non-deterministic Finite Automata (NFA) is an FA where for a given state and input symbol, the transition function can point to a set of possible next states (including none or multiple). NFAs are equivalent in power to DFAs.
