Object Oriented Analysis and Design

Notes
!
Caution The notation in the above version indicates that the details of the Check PIN
sub-machine are shown in a separate diagram.

Example: The alternative way to show the same information is shown in Figure 6.8.

Entry Point: Sometimes you won’t want to enter a submachine at the normal initial state.

Example: In the submachine shown in Figure 6.9, it would be normal to begin in the
“Initializing” state, but if for some reason it wasn’t necessary to perform the initialization, it
would be possible to begin in the “Ready” state by transitioning to the named entry point.
