Turing Machine
A Turing machine is a theoretical model of a computing machine that was proposed by the mathematician Alan Turing in 1936. It consists of a tape of unlimited length, divided into squares, and a read/write head that can read and write symbols on the tape. The machine is controlled by a set of rules that determine its behavior based on the current symbol being read and the state of the machine. The Turing machine can perform any computation that can be performed by a modern computer, and is considered a fundamental concept in computer science and the theory of computation.
