State (computer Science)
In computer science and automata theory, the state of a digital logic circuit or computer program is a technical term for all the stored information, at a given point in time, which the circuit or program has access to. The output of a digital circuit or computer program at any time is completely determined by its current inputs and its state.

Famous quotes containing the word state:
“In days gone by, we were afraid of dying in dishonor or a state of sin. Nowadays, we are afraid of dying fools. Now the fact is that there is no Extreme Unction to absolve us of foolishness. We endure it here on earth as subjective eternity.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
