Understanding Regular Languages: The Foundation of DFA 🔍

Here we define what a regular language is, in that it corresponds to a DFA (deterministic finite automaton). All that is needed is for the DFA to exist, and not necessarily to give the DFA precisely. We also give some examples of regular languages that we have seen before.
