<p>A practical example of a race condition can occur when logic circuitry is used to detect certain outputs of a counter.  If all the bits of the counter do not change exactly simultaneously, there will be intermediate patterns that can trigger false matches.</p>

<p><big>Critical and non-critical forms</big></p>
<p>A critical race condition occurs when the order in which internal variables are changed determines the eventual state that the <a href="page.php?w=state_machine">state machine</a> will end up in.</p>
