The problem

Finite state machines are abstract models of systems that contains a set number of states, inputs into the system, and ways of transitioning from one state to another. In simpler terms, a FSM is a model of a bunch of states and how a system moves from state to state. However, understanding all the parts of a FSM can be difficult, especially with systems with a large number of transitions or recursion involved.
