Non Deterministic Finite Automata (NFA)-continued

For every NFA a deterministic finite state machine (DFA) can be found that accepts the same language. Therefore it is possible to convert an existing NFA into a DFA for the purpose of implementing a (perhaps) simpler machine. This can be performed using the power set construction which may lead to an exponential rise in the number of necessary states.

NFA is very important for depth knowledge of Automata. You will see that almost everything in Automata Theory is related to NFA.
See you later..
