Turing Machine - How a Simple Machine Redefined Computation

In 1936, an English mathematician Alan Turing had introduced a theoretical computing model which not only defined the limits of what can be computed but had also laid the groundwork for modern computing serving as a foundation for algorithms and theoretical computer science. This abstract machine, now popularly known as the Turing machine has successfully revolutionized the way we understand and look at computation, becoming a cornerstone in the…
