Abstract
As it is been observed that the things get much easier once we visualize it and hence this paper is just a step towards it. Usually many subjects in computer engineering curriculum like algorithms, data structures, and theory of computation are taught theoretically however it lacks the visualization that may help students to understand the concepts in a better way. The paper shows some of the practices on tool called JFLAP (Java Formal Languages and Automata Package) and the statistics on how it affected the students to learn the concepts easily. The diagrammatic representation is used to help the theory mentioned. Keywords - Automata, JFLAP, Grammar, Chomsky Heirarchy , Turing Machine, DFA, NFA
