Introduction

Run any Turing machine possible using this function and see if the turing machine, accepts or rejects the tape you input to it.

Installation

pip install turing-machine-utils

Usage

from turing_machine_utils import create_turing_machine

# Define Turing Machine states, alphabet, and transition rules
states = ['q0', 'q1', 'accept', 'discard']
transition_rules = {
    ('q0', '0'): ('q1', '1', 'R'),
    ('q0', '1'): ('q0', '0', 'R'),
    ('q1', '0'): ('accept', '0', 'L'),
    ('q1', '1'): ('discard', '1', 'L'),
}

# Define the input tape
tape = ['0', '1', '0', '1', '0']

# Run the Turing Machine
result, new_tape, state, symbol = create_turing_machine(tape, states, transition_rules)
print("Result:", result)

remember that the machine will start calculating the response from the first state. So the first element on the states list must be the beginning state

The result will be:

1. 1 if the tape is accepted by the turing machine
2. -1 if the state is discarded by the turing machine
3. 0 if an undefined transition is found by the turing machine

The new_tape is the tape with the changes to the original tape

The state and symbol are normally None. They get values that say when the turing machine reached an undefined point

Configuration

No specific configuration options are available at the moment.
