Referring to Turing Machine in previous question, what will be the out...
Introduction:
In this question, we are given two inputs I1 and I2, which are binary strings. We need to determine the output of a Turing Machine when these inputs are given.
Explanation:
A Turing Machine is a theoretical model of a computing device that can manipulate symbols on a tape according to a set of rules. It has a tape with an infinite length divided into cells, each containing a symbol. The machine has a read/write head that can move left or right on the tape and read or write symbols on the cells.
Input:
I1 = 0100
I2 = 0010
Working of the Turing Machine:
1. Initially, the Turing Machine's read/write head is positioned at the leftmost cell of the tape, and the tape contains the input strings I1 and I2 separated by a blank symbol.
2. The machine starts by reading the first symbol of I1 and I2.
3. If the symbols at the current position are both 0, the machine moves to the right and continues to the next symbols.
4. If the symbol in I1 is 1 and the symbol in I2 is 0, the machine overwrites the symbol in I1 with a blank symbol and moves to the right.
5. If the symbol in I1 is 0 and the symbol in I2 is 1, the machine overwrites the symbol in I2 with a blank symbol and moves to the right.
6. If the symbol in I1 is 1 and the symbol in I2 is 1, the machine overwrites the symbol in I1 with a 0 and moves to the right.
7. The machine repeats steps 3-6 until it reaches the end of the input strings, indicated by a blank symbol.
8. After reaching the end of the input strings, the machine halts.
Output:
In this case, the machine will overwrite the symbols in I1 and I2 as follows:
1. Read the first symbol: 0 and 0
2. Move to the right
3. Read the second symbol: 1 and 0
4. Overwrite I1 with a blank symbol and move to the right
5. Read the third symbol: 0 and 1
6. Overwrite I2 with a blank symbol and move to the right
7. Read the fourth symbol: 0 and blank
8. The machine has reached the end of the input strings and halts.
Final Output:
After the machine halts, the symbols in I1 and I2 are as follows:
I1 = 0 and I2 = Blank
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' (I1 = 0 and I2 = Blank).
