Oh, that was by mistake. Actually, I don't think those questions are difficult at all once you understand the machine. And, I always make an effort to use correct terminology. If it is sloppy, it is not because my attitude is sloppy. Is this correct: You should always move from one state to another if the stimulus of a transition holds. The postconditions of the states does not influence this: they express what holds for the timers if computation is at that state, less the system is broke (inconsistent). Question: if the timer is say 5, and transition is at "timer = 10", does that mean you "pause" (compute) at the current state, while incrementing the timer? timer = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 - OK, the stimulus holds, and the transition is made? -- Emanuel Berg - programmer (hire me!
