Exercise-003 Defining states Entry and Exit actions<\/span><\/h1>\n

To reduce the clutter on the diagram, you will use short names instead of full variable names. Like c_time, e_time, and p_time.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Entry Actions:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As per the demo(figure 1), the LCD should display a \u2018Set time.\u2019 Whenever you give power to the application, the time component shows 0 (0 seconds, 0 minutes).<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why, whenever the application comes to the IDLE state, it should display something. That\u2019s why we will now define the Entry activity for the IDLE state. <\/span><\/p>\n

Just click on IDLE state, and at the left-hand side, you can see Entry\/Do\/Exit(Figure 2).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Figure
Figure 1. IDLE state <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Entry
Figure 2. Entry action for IDLE state<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Let\u2019s define the Entry action. <\/span><\/p>\n

One Entry action could display the time on the LCD; I will call disp_time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Display time is a helper action; it\u2019s a helper action or just an action that displays the time. But initially, whenever the application is in the IDLE state, it should display 0. That\u2019s why the argument I send is just 0. The display time function displays as per the argument being passed. So, the argument being passed disp_time(0)<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

And as you can see in the demo(Figure 2), it also shows one message to the user, \u201cSet time\u2019\u2019; display message, that is another action function.  disp_msg(\u201cSet time\u201d)<\/strong>. These are the 2 Entry actions.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Figure
Figure 3. Entry action for IDLE state<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We should also make a mobj->curr_time=0; and also, mobj->elaspsed_time=0;because it’s in the IDLE state.  mobj->current_time =0; elapsed_time=0; and display  time as 0; and display the message as \u201cSet time\u201d. These are the Entry actions. <\/span><\/p>\n

And since we are already doing c_time=0, e_time=0, here it is not required, I will just make p_time =0 here. That\u2019s our Entry action for this. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Entry
Figure 4. TIME_SET state<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Let’s discuss the TIME_SET state. <\/span><\/p>\n

Whenever the application comes to the TIME_SET state, it should display the current time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s define one Entry action for this. Entry action for TIME_SET state is disp_time; And you have to display their current time (c_time). So, whenever an application comes to the TIME_SET state, it displays the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Entry
Figure 5. PAUSE state<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Let\u2019s write the Entry action for PAUSE state. Whenever you press the PAUSE button, the COUNTDOWN stops and shows the message \u201cpaused.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The Entry action for this would be disp_msg(\u201cpaused\u201d), and it doesn\u2019t respect the COUNTDOWN. But whenever the application comes to PAUSE state, it should send the message \u201cpaused.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Entry
Figure 6. COUNTDOWN state<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For the COUNTDOWN, it should COUNTDOWN every one second. Whenever this state receives the TICK event, there will be counting down process. That\u2019s why I have no idea whether this requires the Entry action or not; if you don\u2019t have any idea, then you leave it. But I don\u2019t want to define any Entry action for COUNTDOWN.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Entry
Figure 7. STAT state<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go to the statistics state(STAT state). <\/span><\/p>\n

As you can see in the demo, whenever you press the START or PAUSE button, it shows the productive time and displays the message \u201cProductive time.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The demo should show the productive time in the first line of the display and send a message at the second line. That means we have two actions here. disp_time(mobj->p_time), and disp_msg( \u201cproductive time\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n

You end each action with a semicolon whenever you have two or more actions to do. That looks nice.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

EXIT Actions:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Entry
Figure 8. Exit action for IDLE state<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let’s define some Exit actions. <\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s start with  IDLE. The IDLE state during the Entry it has displayed something. And when the application receives some events it goes to some other state, and it may display something else. So, while exiting that state, it has to clear whatever message it has displayed. That’s why I would define the exit action; for this state, the exit action is ‘disp_clr.’<\/span><\/p>\n

And for the STAT state also the exit action would be disp_clr.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the TIME_SET state, it may be required; I\u2019m not going to define any exit action for the time being.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the PAUSE, also it had displayed \u201cpaused.\u201d So, it should clear it up. I would define an exit action for PAUSE state as \u2018disp_clr.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

And for the COUNTDOWN, I\u2019m not sure whether I have to define any exit action or not. Let\u2019s see later.<\/span><\/p>\n
