Classification

Nouns denoting man-made objects.

Examples

  • The Turing machine is a simple, abstract device that can simulate the behavior of any algorithm, no matter how complex.
  • In the 1930s, Alan Turing proposed the concept of a Turing machine as a model for computation.
  • A Turing machine consists of a read/write head that moves along an infinitely long memory tape, reading and writing symbols as it goes.
