Are you interested in project based learning? No, I'm interested in learning based projecting.
I asked my programming teacher how to create a Turing Machine that reaches the nth prime. He thought I was joking. He was WRONG. I never make jokes :)
Anyways, to grok how Turing machines, as described in Automata and Computability, by Dexter C. Kozen, work, here are:
- A Turing Machine that accepts if a number n doesn't divide another number m and rejects otherwise.
- A Turing Machine that accepts if n doesn't divide m, or if n=m, and rejects otherwise.
- A Turing Machine that accepts if n is prime, and rejects otherwise.
- A Turing Machine that accepts once it has found the nth prime.
Early versions, deprecated, start with 0.
- A Turing Machine that accepts if a number n doesn't divide another number m and rejects otherwise.
- A Turing Machine that detects whether a number >=2 is prime.
