n computer science, a stateful system remembers previous interactions and events to maintain state information that determines its behavior; the set of possible states is the system's state space. Examples include digital circuits, automata, computer programs, and computers, where the current output is completely determined by the current inputs and system state. Stateful systems contrast with stateless ones that don't record prior interactions.
