Hi Sushma,

A Stateflow chart is a graphical representation of a finite state machine consisting of states, transitions, and data. You can create a Stateflow chart to define how a system reacts to external input signals, events, and time-based conditions. We can add states, transitions, and appropriately model it to get a system.

In Stateflow, you can use either MATLAB or C as the action language to define the logic within the chart. By Chart (MATLAB) I assume, you might be referring to writing MATLAB based syntax for defining states, transitions and actions in the Stateflow chart. This allows leveraging MATLAB's computational capabilities directly within the chart.

You can refer to the following documentations for further insightful information and examples:

1. For getting an overview on charts on Stateflow: https://www.mathworks.com/help/stateflow/ref/chart.html
2. A guide on creating and working with Stateflow charts: https://www.mathworks.com/help/stateflow/gs/stateflow-charts.html
3. Highlights the differences between using MATLAB and C-specific syntax for actions: https://www.mathworks.com/help/stateflow/ug/differences-between-matlab-and-stateflow-action-language.html

I hope this helps provide some information on your query!
