2. One way to characterize change in a system is to say that its object change their state in response to events and to time . When you throw a stick a light changes its state from off to on . When you click a remote control a television changes its state from showing you one channel to showing you another . After an appropriate amount of time , a washing machine changes its state from Washing to Rinsing .

3. The uml state diagram captures these kind of changes .It presents the states an object can be in along with the transitions between the states and shows the starting point and end point of a sequence of state changes.
