State Machine Concepts

Understand how a State Machine identifies states, handles events, and selects transitions:

• State Identity - Name and reference states in a definition.
• In-State Event Deferrals - Keep events for processing after the active configuration changes.
• Evaluation of Transitions - Understand guards, fallback transitions, and nested-state precedence.
• Exception Handling - Handle exceptions raised by State Machine code.

See Building Blocks for the elements used to define a State Machine.
