Case Structure - State Machines

[SercoSteveB]

The following shows a State Machine VI followed by ALL of the Case Structure frames within the state machine.  What is the value of Numeric Value Out following execution of the VI?:

All of the hidden frames of the Case Structure from the question are shown below:

a) 10

b) 12

c) 14

d) 16

[Eddie_Rickey]

c.14. I think since there is no State 3, the structure executed is the default.

[BenoitP.]

=> In while loop

1 iteration : enter in case : "State 1" // 0+1 // F // Next state : State 5

2 iteration : enter in case : "State 5" // 1+3 // F // Next state : State 3
3 iteration : enter in case : "Default" (because, "State 3" doesn't exist) // 4+6 // F // Next state : State 4

4 iteration : enter in case : "State 4" // 10+4 // T // Next state : State 2

=> Out while loop with Numeric Value Out = 14

(Answer c)

@gnshmrthy yeah sure ! I corrected it in my explanation. Thks

[mini09]

yeah i with Eddie and Benoit the ans is 14.

@benoit the last state executed is state 4 i suppose, if it`s state 2 the program should be aborted.

Answer : C) 14

I am with gnshmrthy & Benoit.

Thanks gnshmrthy for your hints.

[mini09]

@dharmendra the enum constant is State 1 so initialy the state i is performed so please do check that.

Nice one guys.  I am going to stop officially answering the posted questions, unless the concensus is wrong.

[mini09]

Steve Please i don agree with this your comment at last the answer is nedded here because the members new to the blog may have trouble in finalizing and your comment will help them to finalise and understand the concepts of the program.

[SercoSteveB]

Answer: C.  Nice one guys.  Good explanantion from BenoitP.

[mini09]

Thanks Steve consideraring my thoughts...
