# stateNames

The names of the function’s states.

## Declaration

```swift
var stateNames: [String] { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion States are function arguments that the function both reads and writes during inference. You must provide a mutable view for every state when calling InferenceFunction/run(inputs:states:outputViews:).
