Here we show that the E_DFA problem is decidable, which is determining for a given DFA, whether or not its language is empty. This is the same as determining if some final state is reachable from the DFA's start state. So we run breadth-first-search on the DFA (treating it as a graph), and report the opposite answer (see the video for why this is the case).
