Which description identifies an FSM with no output rather than a Mealy machine?.
- A.Outputs are shown on the transitions
- B.Each transition is labelled with an input and an output
- C.Transitions show the next state for each input, but no output is produced
- D.The current state is included in every output label
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Transitions show the next state for each input, but no output is produced
Explanation
Why this works
An FSM with no output represents state changes in response to inputs but does not produce an output. A Mealy machine has outputs associated with transitions.
