Abstract

Formal languages and automata is a major theoretical course. This course studies the theoretical problems of automata and formal languages with a high degree of abstraction. In order to enable students to better understand and grasp the contents of the course, it needs to design the experimental courses. In this paper, a design scheme based on a functional programming language F# and a drawing tool named Graphviz is proposed. By using F#, the theoretical content is converted to the actual running code, then the code is run and the results are displayed with Graphviz. The practice proves that the scheme is feasible and can enable students to deepen their understanding of what they have learned, improve the ability to solve problems.
