The state model (also known as the state design model<\/strong>) is one of the behavior models. It defines a way to control communication between classes or entities. It is used to modify the behavior of the object when the internal state of the object is changed. The pattern helps objects change state without changing the interface (used to access the object<\/strong>) or losing the current state. This change in the state of the class or object is masked from the outside world using a context (also known as a wrapper object<\/strong>). The state model can be used to implement complex decision algorithms represented as a flowchart or state diagram. A state model can also be implemented when there are different states and each state has a specific action.<\/p>\n

Structure<\/h2>\n

The Diagram of the State Pattern:
\n\"flow-chart\"
\nStateBase is the base class for all concrete states. It can be an abstract class or an interface The concrete class (State A, State B, and State C) has characteristics that can be used to modify and maintain the behavior of the context object.
\n\"flow-chart1\"<\/p>\n

The basic code structure of the state design model implementation uses C #. the initial state of the context is passed through a constructor. A Context “Request” method is used to change states internally, it is called the StateBase.Chage ()<\/strong> method. The StateBase.Chage () method changes the state of the context object to the next state. In this example, the state change sequence is as follows.<\/p>\n

The State Design Pattern <\/a> allows us to modify the behavior of an object when its internal state changes. Using the State Design Pattern makes it much easier to keep track of all possible conditions (or states) and this ensures that our application will behave less undefined. There are also many other ways to implement a state model. Designing an effective state model requires the designer to make a list of possible states and relate each state to each other or it can be said to define a sequence of states to be modified.
