Difficulty: Hard
About this MCQ
This Hard Theory of Computation (Automata) MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “The concept in which an abstract computational model that manipulates symbols on an infinite tape according to a set of rules is best known as which of these terms?”
The accepted answer is C. Turing machine. The concept in which an abstract computational model that manipulates symbols on an infinite tape according to a set of rules is best known as which of these terms is answered by Turing machine option C Option A Finite automaton does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Turing machine Option B State transition diagram does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Turing machine Remaining alternatives Chomsky hierarchy fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Turing machine is identified Theory of Computation Automata questions of this type reward precise definitions rather than approximate associations Theory of Computation Automata recall of this distinction.
- A. Finite automaton
Why not A: “Finite automaton” is not correct. The accepted answer is C. Turing machine. The concept in which an abstract computational model that manipulates symbols on an infinite tape according to a set of rules is best known as which of these terms is answered by T
- B. State transition diagram
Why not B: “State transition diagram” is not correct. The accepted answer is C. Turing machine. The concept in which an abstract computational model that manipulates symbols on an infinite tape according to a set of rules is best known as which of these terms is answered by T
- C. Turing machine ✓
- D. Chomsky hierarchy
Why not D: “Chomsky hierarchy” is not correct. The accepted answer is C. Turing machine. The concept in which an abstract computational model that manipulates symbols on an infinite tape according to a set of rules is best known as which of these terms is answered by T
Correct answer
C. Turing machine
