Behavioral Design Patterns in C++ - Methods for States - I

The video tutorial explains the state pattern, which is useful for objects whose behavior changes based on their state. It describes how to split an object into multiple objects, with the main object holding the state, known as the context, and other classes implementing the behavior. The tutorial also covers a table-based approach for handling complex state transitions and introduces methods for states, where behavior is realized as internal functions within a single object. This approach can work with non-object-oriented languages.

Explain the concept of methods for states and how it differs from using objects for state behavior.

What types of values can represent the state in the table-based approach?
