What is turing machine?

Answer

Alan Turing visualized a "state machine" that was capable of basic computing. He never actually built his Turing Machine but people have paid homage to him by creating modern examples of the machine that he immagined.

A state machine is a device which is controlled by the "current state" and a set of instructions which determines the "next state". In other words, a prototype for the computers of today.
