Stateflow User's Guide

Entering, Executing, and Exiting a State

States are either active or inactive. The following sections describe the stages of state execution that take place between becoming active and becoming inactive:

• Entering a State -- Describes the execution involved when a transition causes a state to be entered.
• Executing an Active State -- Describes the execution of a state when it receives an event that does not result in an outgoing transition from that state to another.
• Exiting an Active State -- Describes the execution involved when a transition causes a state to be exited.
• State Execution Example -- Gives a detailed description of an example of state execution activities during the execution of a Stateflow diagram.
