A Turing machine is an abstract computational model that performs computations by reading and writing to an infinite tape. Turing machines provide a powerful computational model for solving problems in computer science and testing the limits of computation — are there problems that we simply cannot solve? Turing machines are similar to finite automata/finite state machines but have the advantage of unlimited memory. They are capable of simulating common computers; a problem that a common computer can solve (given enough memory) will also be solvable using a Turing machine, and vice versa. Turing machines were invented by the esteemed computer scientist Alan T
