Formal Languages Questions
The components of a Turing machine are:
1. Tape: A tape divided into cells, where each cell can hold a symbol from a finite alphabet. The tape is infinite in both directions.
2. Head: A head that can read and write symbols on the tape. It can move left or right along the tape.
3. State Register: A state register that stores the current state of the Turing machine.
4. Transition Function: A transition function that determines the next state and action (read, write, move) based on the current state and symbol read by the head.
5. Control Unit: A control unit that coordinates the actions of the head, state register, and transition function.
These components work together to allow a Turing machine to perform computations and solve problems.
