Állapotábrák, or state diagrams, are graphical representations used to model the behavior of a system. They depict the various states a system can be in and the transitions that can occur between these states. Each state represents a distinct condition or mode of operation, and transitions indicate how the system moves from one state to another, often triggered by specific events or conditions.

State diagrams are commonly employed in various fields, including computer science, engineering, and business process modeling. In software development, they are used to design and understand the dynamic behavior of user interfaces, protocols, and complex algorithms. For example, a simple "on/off" switch can be represented by two states, "On" and "Off," with transitions triggered by user interaction.

The components of a state diagram typically include states, which are often represented by rounded rectangles, and transitions, depicted as arrows connecting the states. Transitions are usually labeled with the event or condition that causes the state change. Some state diagrams also include initial and final states, indicating the starting point and potential termination of a process. More complex diagrams can incorporate actions that occur when entering or exiting a state, or during a transition. Understanding state diagrams helps in visualizing and analyzing system logic, identifying potential issues, and communicating system design effectively.
