The term "állapotgép" is a Hungarian word that translates to "state machine" in English. In computer science and engineering, an állapotgép is a mathematical model of computation that can be in exactly one of a finite number of states at any given time. The word "állapotgép" specifically refers to a realization or implementation of this abstract model.

An állapotgép consists of a set of states, a starting state, and a set of transitions between states that are triggered by inputs. The behavior of an állapotgép is determined by its current state and the input it receives. When an input is received, the állapotgép transitions from its current state to a new state, or it may remain in the same state.

This concept is fundamental to understanding sequential logic circuits, software design, and various areas of theoretical computer science. Common examples of state machines include traffic light controllers, vending machines, and parsers. The design and analysis of állapotgépek are crucial for building reliable and predictable systems. They provide a structured way to model systems that exhibit different behaviors based on a sequence of events. The term "állapotgép" emphasizes the practical implementation of the state machine concept.
