C program for converting regular expression to NFA

C program to convert regular expression to NFA:

To convert the regular expression to NFA, this method is known as the Subset method.

The steps in this method are given below:-

Step-1: Make a transition diagram for a given regular expression, using NFA with ε moves.

Step-2: Then, Convert this NFA with ε to NFA without ε.

Step-3: Finally, Convert the obtained NFA to an equivalent DFA.
