Question

Suppose δ(q, a) = (p, b) for the Turing machine in question (1). Suppose the Turing

machine goes from configuration C1 to configuration C2 using the fact that δ(q, a) = (p, b).
Fill in the blanks below using the following choices. Note that more than one answer may
be appropriate for a question. Give one of the appropriate answers in that case.

a) The state the Turing machine will be in in configuration C2.
b) The state the Turing machine is in in configuration C1.
c) The tape symbol scanned in configuration C1.
d) The tape symbol scanned in configuration C2.
e) The symbol written on the tape between configuration C1 and C2.
f) The direction in which the Turing machine moves between C1 and C2.
g) The set of states.
h) The top of the push-down stack.
i) The transition function.

Answer 1

The question is about the Turing machine and its transition function.

Step-by-step explanation:

(c) The tape symbol scanned in configuration C1.

(d) The tape symbol scanned in configuration C2.

(e) The symbol written on the tape between configuration C1 and C2.

(f) The direction in which the Turing machine moves between C1 and C2.

(g) The set of states.

(h) The top of the push-down stack.

(i) The transition function.
