State

The correct title of this article is state. The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.

state target;

state target;

• label

target

–

name of a state to run

When encountered at runtime, if the old state and the new state are different states:

1. Trigger state_exit in the current state if it exists.
2. Change state to target
3. Trigger state_entry in the new state if it exists.

If not, do nothing.

state target{ events }

• label	target	–	state name
• event	events	–	one or more events

Caveats
