HERE IS WHAT I HAVE SO FAR:

Ive tried getting help from my professor but the answer i keep getting is i have two transitions out of my NEXT_WHOLE state at the bottom left? I cant wrap my head around how i can get rid of that? Like if i had "5e5f" i would transition to the floating-suffix state with an "f" however if it was "5e5L" i would have to go to the floating-suffix state with an "L". So there has to be 2 transitions in my mind but thats illegal. Can you please take a look at what i have and red pen some lines in it via screen snip or whatever is easier for you. Thank you for your time and help. P.S. ive seen linear states for these but i need to use this "web" layout as it was started above in the question. Thank you.

C2A5E3 (5 points - Diagram only - No program required) Create the state diagram described in this exercise in 8.5"x11" portrait orientation and put it in a PDF file named C2A5E3_StateDiagram.pdf. Using an application such as Word, Visio, etc. to create it is preferred, but a neat hand-drawn diagram is also acceptable. Regardless of how the diagram is created, significant credit will be deducted if I consider it to be sloppy or hard to read. Your state diagram must analyze the contents of an arbitrary string of characters to determine if its syntax is that of a "decimal floating literal" and if so, its type. A formal syntax definition is provided later but a few examples that do and do not conform to that definition are provided below for your consideration. One thing that often surprises students is that any expression starting with a plus or minus sign is never a numeric literal of any kind.

A state machine is often implemented as a separate function and in this diagram the word ENTER represents the function's entry point. Transitions to the following four identifiers represent returns from the function and have the indicated meanings: FAIL - string did not represent a decimal floating literal. FLOAT - string represented a type float decimal floating literal. DOUBLE string represented a type double decimal floating literal. L_DOUBLE string represented a type long double decimal floating literal. Additional Requirements: 1. A correct diagram has exactly 9 states. Function entry points and returns do not count as states. 2. State names must meaningfully indicate the current status of the string porse and must be legal identifiers that you will use unaltered in your state machine code in the next exercise. 3. Use identifiers FAIL, FLOAT, DOUBLE, and LLDOUBLE as return indicators only - never as state names. 4. The string's next character is available upon entering each state and all transitions out of that state must be based solely upon that character. Looking back or looking ahead is prohibited. 5. More than one default transition out of any state makes no logical sense and is always wrong. 6. Because the state diagram is processing a string and not a file do not label anything as EOF. 7. Do not attempt to determine the numeric value of a floating literal.
