O cenário

Build the ε-NFA for the unsigned integer regex [0-9]+ using Thompson construction, showing the plus operator's epsilon back-edge.

O que há neste desenho

Entenda as decisões por trás dele.

01

Introduce an ε-transition from the digit acceptor back to its start to model one-or-more repetition.

02

Use a final state reached by ε after the digit to preserve acceptance of exactly one digit.

03

Label the digit transition with the character class [0-9] rather than each individual digit.

Reusable whenever converting any `+` regex operator into an NFA; swap the base subexpression's NFA and reuse the same ε wiring.
