# setNextState()

Changes cell’s state to the next value in the sequence.

## Declaration

```swift
func setNextState()
```

## Discussion

Discussion If a cell has three states, it cycles in this order: on, off, mixed, on, off, and so forth. If the cell has only two states, it toggles between them.
