a graph whose nodes are states and whose directed arcs are transitions labeled by event names
a very convenient way to visualise the operation of a flip-flop or even of large sequential components
a visual representation of an application's state machines
a visual representation of a task's various states and events
A diagram that shows a state machine. See: state machine.
a directed graph in which nodes represent system states and arcs represent transitions between states
Shows the event-ordered behavior of the instances of the class.
A diagram that shows States of a system or subsystem, Transitions between States, and the Events that cause the Transitions.
A state diagram is a pictorial description of state relationships.
State diagrams are used to graphically represent finite state machines. State transition tables are another possible representation.
