CBSE Class 11 Computer States And Transitions Worksheet

Short Answer Type Questions

Question: What is the utility of state transition diagrams?
Answer:  The State-Transition diagrams are very much used in Automata Theory of computing. The finite Automata Theory, a branch of Automata Theory, is used to represent a machine/hardware or software in terms of its behaviours in response to some external input or internal actions.

Question: What does a state signify?
Answer: A State is one of the possible internal configurations (a state of computation) of ahardware/software (as in recorded information), which is caused by some external input or some internal actions.

Question: Draw a state transition diagram for operation of an ATM machine.
Answer:

Question: What are state transition diagrams?
Answer: A State-Transition diagram describes all the states that a computation system can undergoalong with the events(such as external input other stimuli) under which the computation systemsbehaves in a certain way and changes state. The change of state is marked as a transition.

Question: how is a transition linked to states?
Answer: A transition can be termed as a marked change from one state to another state in response to some external input or internal actions.
