Function pointers can be used for a wide variety of applications including the implementation of state machines. Just like any tool, it may not always be appropriate to use function pointers for a ...

Raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens. They’re ok, but state machines are absolutely on our short list of favorite things. There are probably as many ways to implement a state machine as there ...

Most embedded systems are reactive by nature. They measure certain properties of their environment with sensors and react on changes. For example, they display something, move a motor, or send a ...

How to turn graphical state-machine models into C, C++, C#, or Java code. Why using a tool like Visual State is better than building a state machine in source code. Artificial intelligence and machine ...

As opposed to conditional flag-centric code, a state machine diagram presents a very clear view of the design, and so provides a good example to students. As opposed to conditional flag-centric code, ...

The interest in state machines started in the 1950s when George Moore and Edward Mealy published seminal papers on formal methods of designing digital circuits, which generate outputs based on the ...
