Finite State Machine Examples that I researched were: Vending machine system and washing machine
system. I have added citation that will take you directly to the website for both the topics provided.
An automatic fan: A modern automatic fan, with various settings of different speeds, rotate on/off, and
turning the fan on/off itself , is an example of a finite state machine. By turning the dial (or pushing
buttons) you can make it do one set of things or another. Each one of those sets of things is a program.
Each action is considered a state: each speed increase button is one state, rotate button is one state, on
button is one state and then off button is one state.
Buttons: ON, OFF, SPEED 1: LOW, SPEED 2: MEDIUM, SPEED 3: HIGH, ROTATE
