Extended State Machines. Clearly, the state diagram from Figure 2(a) is hopelessly complex for a simple time bomb and I don't think that, in practice, anyone would implement the bomb that way (except, perhaps, if you have only a few bytes of RAM for v

The states and transitions of a state machine can be represented using a graph diagram, where the nodes represent the states and the arcs (arrows between nodes) represent the transitions. You can think of the current state as being a marker or highlight t

The whole State Machine and automatic state transition is pretty cool, so I'll give your article a 4, but it's more like a 3.5. But, as you mentioned this is your first article and you would like some comments. So here it goes. The article is rath
