Basic State Machine in Golang

This repository contains an implementation of a basic state machine in Go.

Description

A state machine is a mathematical model that describes the behavior of a system based on a set of states and the transitions between those states. This implementation demonstrates a simple traffic light system with three states: red, yellow, and green. Each transition is triggered by an event, such as a timer running out or a sensor detecting a car at an intersection.

Usage

To use the state machine, simply create an instance of the StateMachine struct with the desired initial state and call the Transition method in a loop to simulate the system's behavior.

func main() {
  sm := NewStateMachine(&GreenLight{})

	for {
		sm.Transition()
	}
}
