Here's an example of a very classic finite state machine, modelling a very simplified electronic device (like a TV)
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace fsm
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var fsm = new FiniteStateMachine();
Console.WriteLine(fsm.State);
fsm.ProcessEvent(FiniteStateMachine.Events.PlugIn);
Console.WriteLine(fsm.State);
fsm.ProcessEvent(FiniteStateMachine.Events.TurnOn);
Console.WriteLine(fsm.State);
fsm.ProcessEvent(FiniteStateMachine.Events.TurnOff);
Console.WriteLine(fsm.State);
fsm.ProcessEvent(FiniteStateMachine.Events.TurnOn);
Console.WriteLine(fsm.State);
fsm.ProcessEvent(FiniteStateMachine.Events.RemovePower);
Console.WriteLine(fsm.State);
Console.ReadKey();
}
class FiniteStateMachine
{
public enum States { Start, Standby, On };
public States State { get; set; }
public enum Events { PlugIn, TurnOn, TurnOff, RemovePower };
private Action[,] fsm;
public FiniteStateMachine()
{
this.fsm = new Action[3, 4] {
//PlugIn, TurnOn, TurnOff, RemovePower
{this.PowerOn, null, null, null}, //start
{null, this.StandbyWhenOff, null, this.PowerOff}, //standby
{null, null, this.StandbyWhenOn, this.PowerOff} }; //on
}
public void ProcessEvent(Events theEvent)
{
this.fsm[(int)this.State, (int)theEvent].Invoke();
}
private void PowerOn() { this.State = States.Standby; }
private void PowerOff() { this.State = States.Start; }
private void StandbyWhenOn() { this.State = States.Standby; }
private void StandbyWhenOff() { this.State = States.On; }
}
}
}
