Turing Machine Project 🖥️

Turing Machine

Welcome to the Turing Machine Project! This Python-based project delves into the fascinating world of decidability and undecidability through Turing Machine simulations. Here, you will find resources and tools to explore the limits of computation.

Table of Contents

Introduction

The Turing Machine is a fundamental concept in computer science, introduced by Alan Turing in 1936. It serves as a model for computation, helping us understand what problems can be solved algorithmically. This project provides simulations of Turing Machines to illustrate concepts like decidability and the halting problem.

Features

  • Turing Machine Simulations: Visualize how Turing Machines operate.
  • Decidability Exploration: Investigate problems that can and cannot be solved.
  • Halting Problem Analysis: Understand the limitations of algorithmic solutions.
  • User-Friendly CLI: Interact with the project through a simple command-line interface.

Installation

To get started, clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/Ruso37/Turing-Machine-Project.git

Navigate into the project directory:

cd Turing-Machine-Project

Install the required packages using pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Run the project by executing the following command in your terminal:

python main.py

Follow the prompts to simulate different Turing Machines and explore various problems.

Topics Covered

This project addresses several key topics in the field of computation:

  • Automata: Understand the basic principles of automata theory.
  • Computability: Explore what can be computed and what cannot.
  • Decidability: Learn about problems that can be algorithmically solved.
  • Halting Problem: Investigate the limits of computation with this classic problem.
  • Theory of Computation: Gain insights into foundational concepts in computer science.
