- B.It must contain an output for every state, even when the FSM has no output
- C.It shows only the starting state and does not show later states
- D.It can describe only Mealy machines
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- It can show the next state for each combination of current state and input
Explanation
Why this works
A transition table records the next state for each current state and possible input. It can represent FSMs with no output and can be extended to include outputs for a Mealy machine.
