There are three stages comprising different challenges. Complete each stage to unlock challenges in the next stage. Earn up to 100 points as you attempt these challenges. You also gain skills in design tracing as you successfully complete these challenges

Explaining concepts

In design tracing, we trace the sequence of data and function changes across different diagrams for a given scenario of system execution

Introducing goals of a challenge

In this challenge, your goal is to construct the state diagram. You can use the data, events and state tab to construct the state diagram

Providing feedback

It looks like there is an error in the highlighted state. Trace the state change of variables and try to identify the error
