JFLAP stands for java formal language and automata package has developed by Susan H. Rodger and Thomas W. Finley at Duke University for graduate and undergraduate students to simulate and test different automatons using its graphical interface.Using JFLAP students can develop the generation and recognition devices not only for regular languages but also for non-regular languages as well.Moore and Mealy are two machines which will produce output on any given input.But in some cases when a user develops valid Mealy machine (MM) and enter the valid input string, JFLAP produces wrong output.In this article, the discrepancy of JFLAP in term results produces by Mealy machine (MM) is identified and solution has been proposed using java language.It has been observed from that the solution proposed in this article totally eliminate the problem of producing wrong results especially in case of developing an incremental Mealy machine (MM).
