👉 Turing computing, named after the British mathematician Alan Turing, is a theoretical framework for computation based on the concept of a universal machine, often referred to as a Turing machine. This machine operates on an infinite tape divided into discrete cells, each of which can hold a symbol from a finite alphabet. The machine follows a set of predefined rules to read, write, and move the tape's head left or right, allowing it to perform any computable task given enough time and memory. The core idea is that any algorithm or process that can be described algorithmically can, in principle, be implemented by a Turing machine. This concept laid the foundation for modern computer science and established the theoretical limits of what can be computed, influencing the development of actual computing machines and programming languages.
