UML State Machines

UML State Machines are a visual tool used in software design to represent the different states an object can be in and how it transitions between those states due to events. Think of it like a flowchart that illustrates how something—like a user interface or a device—reacts to various inputs over time. Each state indicates a specific condition (like "On" or "Off"), and arrows show how the object moves to another state when an action occurs, helping designers understand and document complex behaviors systematically.
