building a DFA from equivalence classes of $R_L$(tricky)
$begingroup$
i've encoutered an interesting question from an old exam with no solution and i was wondering: how do you build a dfa(deterministic finite automata) from given equivalence classes?
this is the question:
L is a language over {0,1}, for which the equivalence classes of $R_L$ are:
$left{w|#:_0left(wright):is:even:an:#_1:left(wright)is:evenright}$
$left{w|#:_0left(wright):is:even:an:#_1:left(wright)is:oddright}$
$left{w|#:_0left(wright):is:odd:an:#_1:left(wright)is:oddright}$
$left{w|#:_0left(wright):is:odd:an:#_1:left(wright)is:evenright}$
also: $epsilon in L$ and $0, 1, 1110 not in L$.
how can i build a deterministic finite automata that accepts L?
would really appreciate an elaborated answer so i could actually understand what you've done and learn from it.
thank you very much for your help
EDIT: what i tried. so basically from what i understood, because the language consists only of {0,1}, then we can divide it into equivalnce classes such that whether $#_0$ and $#_1$ are even or odd. however, i don't know how to create the DFA from the equivalence classes. this is why i've been asking for help because i don't understand how to do it. since $epsilon in L$ then i can connect it somehow in the digraph. basically it is represting all of the possible number of occurences of {0,1} excluding 0, 1, 1110.
sorry if i couldn't write more, i just don't know how to do it.

Hint: create a state for each class and define the transitions between them appropriately. From there you should be able to decide which one should be your initial state and how you can reject words not in $L$.

Step 1: what are the states? Following Myhill-Nerode, they're the equivalence classes.
Step 2: what are the transitions? For each of the four equivalence classes, and each of the two symbols in the alphabet, what equivalence class do we move to if we append that symbol?
Step 3: what is the initial state? Does $epsilon$ have an even or odd number of zeros and ones?
Step 4: what are the accepting states? This is where you use the information that $epsilon in L$ and $0,1,1110 notin L$. (It's not a coincidence that the number of words given there is equal to the number of equivalence classes).
