turing machines
Turing machines are theoretical devices invented by Alan Turing that perform calculations systematically. They consist of an infinite tape divided into cells, a read-write head, and a set of rules for operation. These machines can simulate any computer algorithm by manipulating symbols on the tape based on the rules, allowing them to solve a wide range of problems.
