Explain Mealy and Moore. Reduce the state diagram given in the Figure.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for an explanation of Mealy and Moore machines and also requires a reduction of the provided state diagram. This involves understanding the concepts of finite state machines and how to simplify state diagrams.
Answer
Mealy machines depend on state and input; Moore on state only. The diagram can be reduced by merging equivalent states.
Mealy machines produce outputs based on the current state and input, while Moore machines depend only on the state. In the provided diagram, states with identical transitions and outputs can be merged to reduce the number of states.
Answer for screen readers
Mealy machines produce outputs based on the current state and input, while Moore machines depend only on the state. In the provided diagram, states with identical transitions and outputs can be merged to reduce the number of states.
More Information
Mealy machines typically have fewer states because their outputs can change immediately with input changes.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the basis of output generation in Mealy and Moore machines. Always check if outputs depend on inputs or states.
