'State' is a common programming term that is experienced by all developers as they advance from beginning to intermediate level programming. In computer science, a program's state is defined as its position in reference to previously-stored inputs. A control variable, such as one used in a loop, for example, changes the state of the program at each iteration. Examining the present state of a program may be used to test or analyze the codebase. Adding another state is difficult because it necessitates rewriting the code of many different classes.
