What is the difference between Mealy & Moore type of finite state machines?
Answer
In a Moore machine the output produced is associated to the current state of the machine and on it only. In a Mealy machine, instead, it is associated to both a state and a specific input.
From a practical point of view you have that output is placed on states in a Moore machine (so every state has its ouput), while on the latter you have outputs on transitions (so an ouput is decided from the current state AND the outgoing transition)
