Question 7: Turing Machines
(a) Draw the state diagram of a Turing Machine, that converts every 'a' to 'b', and every 'b' to 'a',
except for the last alphabet. Also, it goes to the accept state if the last alphabet is 'a', and goes
to the reject state if the last alphabet is 'b'.
Hint: Convert everything until you reach the end (blank symbol), then take one step backward and
convert the last alphabet again. As you converted the last alphabet twice, it ensures that the last
alphabet was not changed. Then stop and depending on what the last alphabet is, now finally, go to
the accept or reject state.

We start with N discs of varying sizes on a peg (stacked in order according to size), and two empty pegs. We are allowed to move a disc from one peg to another, but we are never allowed to move a larger disc on top of a smaller disc. The goal is to move all the discs to the rightmost peg (see figure). To solve the problem by using search methods, we need first formulate the problem. Supposing there are K pegs and N disk. (2) What is the size of the state space?arrow_forwardQ2.
