# De-Comment Program
C program to remove comments from source-code
## DFA Design
The deterministic finite state automaton (DFA) expresses the required de-commenting logic. The DFA is represented using the traditional "labeled ovals and labeled arrows" notation. Each oval represent a state. Each state is given short name with detailed descriptions of the left. Each arrow represent a transition from one state to another. Each arrow is labeled with the single character that causes the transition to occur.
## Build
You can compile the program using `gcc`.
```shell
$ gcc decomment.c -o decomment
```
## Usage
```shell
$ ./decomment
```
- If the program is run without argument, the code to be decommented will be read from the
standard input and displayed[decommented code] on the standard output
- If argument is given, the code to be decommented will be read form the file and displayed in
the standard output.
## Test
`test.py` contains a simple script to run the compiled `decomment` program and compare the standard output
against expected output values. To run, execute run the following command after compiling the `decomment`
program:
```shell
$ python test.py
```
