Foundations of Computation and Compiler Techniques
A Turing Machine (TM) is a theoretical model that defines an abstract machine capable of performing computations using a tape, a head for reading and writing symbols, and a finite set of states. The tape is infinite and divided into cells, each holding a symbol.
The machine reads the current symbol, changes it, moves left or right, and transitions between states based on a predefined set of rules. TMs can simulate any algorithm and are fundamental to understanding the limits of computation.
