Design a deterministic finite-state automaton that consists of four states (including the start and final states), and accepts strings over alphabets (A, B). The automaton generates strings that either begin with A and end with B, or strings that begin with B and end with A. In either case, there are equal number of A, and B, in between the first and last symbols. An example of an accepted string is ABABAB.
