I’m working on a finite deterministic automaton based on this.

From this code:

 public void markInitialState (int initialStateId) {

                    State theInitialState = allStates.get(initialStateId);
                    theInitialState.isInitial=true;
                    allStates.add(initialStateId, theInitialState);

                /*DEBUG*/

                System.out.println(" THE INITIAL STATE ID IS " + initialStateId);

                theInitialState = allStates.get(initialStateId);
                if ((theInitialState.isInitial)==true)
                System.out.println("THE STATE " + theInitialState + " IS MARKED AS INITIAL");

        }

I’m getting the line:

THE STATE {d=(this Map), e=(this Map), a=(this Map)} IS MARKED AS INITIAL

On the line that should say:

THE STATE 2 IS MARKED AS INITIAL

Why is the Map doing this?

I don’t get why it’s marking the final states correctly using the same aproach.

The Input file is:

    public void markInitialState (int initialStateId) {
    
            State theInitialState = allStates.get(initialStateId);
            theInitialState.isInitial=true;
            allStates.add(initialStateId, theInitialState);
    
            /*DEBUG*/
    
            System.out.println(" THE INITIAL STATE ID IS " + initialStateId);
    
            theInitialState = allStates.get(initialStateId);
            if ((theInitialState.isInitial)==true)
            System.out.println("THE STATE " + theInitialState + " IS MARKED AS INITIAL");
    
    }
    

    On the last line of this method, you’re printing theInitialState instead of initialStateID.
