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.

- Artificial Intelligence (Part - 2) ==================== The Towers of Hanoi is a famous problem for studying recursion incomputer science and searching in artificial intelligence. 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.

The shape takes in the form of a spiral, it can be in a nesting process and repeated into infinity. It is called the logarithmic spiral, and it abounds in nature. The Fibonacci sequence of numbers, “Fn”, is defined using the recursive relation. Fibonacci sequence of numbers can be computed as follows: Fn = Fn-1+Fn-2 If the 12th and 13th terms in the hurricane prediction sequence are 89 km/hour and 144 km/hour, analyze the value of the 15th, 16th, and 17th hurricane speed by using the Fibonacci formula as stated above.arrow_forward
- Recursion can be direct or indirect. It is direct when a function calls itself and it is indirect recursion when a function calls another function that then calls the first function. To illustrate solving a problem using recursion, consider the Fibonacci series: - 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34...The way to solve this problem is to examine the series carefully. The first two numbers are 1. Each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two numbers. Thus, the seventh number is the sum of the sixth and fifth numbers. More generally, the nth number is the sum of n - 2 and n - 1, as long as n > 2.Recursive functions need a stop condition. Something must happen to cause the program to stop recursing, or it will never end. In the Fibonacci series, n < 3 is a stop condition. The algorithm to use is this: 1. Ask the user for a position in the series.2. Call the fib () function with that position, passing in the value the user entered.3. The fib () function examines the argument (n). If n < 3…arrow_forward3. Read from Figure 1: Turing Machine 1 the description of turing machine and for how many steps does the Turing machine run on input string "a" before the Turing machine halts?
