Question

Till what value of mod counter you will call it? As per my understanding the maximum number it is counting is 5 so I call it as mod 6 counter but in in the workbook it is given as mod 5 counter and their explanation is that number of states are 5 that's why it is a mod 5 counter. What is correct and why? please help me.

Comments

mod does not depend on what the value of the state is.

it only depends on the max number of stages it can it can loop.

0.4.2.5.3 are the stages it can loop. hance 5.

mod in the given question means number of states formed in the cycle of state transition graph.
