Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a simple dialog system using FSMs for a vending machine. Include at least five states and their transitions. Discuss what limitations you might encounter due to the lack of hierarchy.

💡 Hint: Visualize how each button press might lead to numerous states.

Challenge 2 Hard

Explain how you would convert a specified FSM into a Statechart. Illustrate with an example of a music player interface.

💡 Hint: Think about how actions are similar across different states.
