1. mealy

   In the theory of computation, a Mealy machine is a finite-state machine whose output values are determined both by its current state and the current inputs. This is in contrast to a Moore machine, whose output values are determined solely by its current state. A Mealy machine is a deterministic finite-state transducer: for each state and input, at most one transition is possible.

1. mealy

   A Mealy machine is a type of finite-state machine or automaton in computer science and engineering, named after George H. Mealy. It can be defined as a six-tuple (S, S0, Σ, Λ, T, G) where S is a finite, non-empty set of states, S0 is an initial state, Σ is a set of input symbols, Λ is a set of output symbols, T is the state transition function mapping S×Σ into S, and G is the output function. The unique characteristic of a Mealy machine is that its output values are determined by its current state and the input, rather than solely by its current state (which would indicate a Moore machine).
