Two-way_finite_state_machines

A simple exercise in logic, but not encyclopedic. Radiant! 15:49, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)

It looks like an exercise set for someone's homework. Well, they're already a term late in handing it in. Delete and let the redlink at Finite state machine do its job. Uncle G 17:17, 2005 Feb 14 (UTC)

  - It means that 219.77.78.170 (talk · contribs) has got xemself a new IP address. WP:VIP. Uncle G 18:26, 2005 Feb 14 (UTC)
~~Delete~~. It does look like homework. Perhaps from a "Theory of Computation" class? Carrp | Talk 17:22, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- This is a homework problem right now, but after some thought I suppose a redirect to Finite state machine couldn't hurt. Carrp | Talk 20:02, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Redirect to Finite state machine -- As I recall from my "Theory of Computation" class, a two-way finite state machine is just a variation of a Finite state machine. Zzyzx11 19:19, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Finite state machine links to this page from a list of other types of machines, all of which have their own entries and most of which are far more fully realized articles. This probably just needs to be extensively expanded. Not sure that it "shows instinct" however. :) HyperZonk 19:27, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)

Keep, expand, and back-link to Finite state machine. — RJH 20:16, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

DELETE, current content means nothing in context with the title. A 2-way FSM is an FSM that can move in both directions... it has nothing to do with summing numbers together. I would say that it is PATENT NONSENSE at the moment. 132.205.45.110 19:32, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- In my opinion, that means that it needs to be fixed, not deleted. HyperZonk 19:49, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
