A Finite State Machine (FSM) is a mathematical model used to represent a system that can exist in a finite number of states at any given time. It consists of a set of states, a set of inputs, a set of outputs, and a set of rules that dictate how the system transitions from one state to another in response to inputs.
The components of a Finite State Machine include:
A Finite State Machine can be represented visually using a state diagram or graph, where each state is represented by a node and the transitions between states are represented by edges. It can also be represented using a table, where the rows correspond to states and the columns correspond to inputs, with each cell indicating the next state or output.
The purpose of a Finite State Machine is to model and control systems that have a finite number of possible states. It is commonly used in computer science, engineering, and other fields to design and analyze systems that exhibit complex behavior.
Some potential advantages of using a Finite State Machine include:
