Moore machine

In the automata theory of computer science, a Moore machine is a finite state automaton that maps states in the machine to outputs.

A Moore machine can be defined as follows:

where are the same as for a Finite Automaton. The addition is and . maps the set of states, Q, to the output alphabet, .

Compare with a Mealy machine, which maps transitions in the machine to outputs.
