6 - Decidability and Turing Recognizability

Learning

Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

Define decidable languages.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about whether TM guarantees a yes or no outcome.

Question 2

Easy

What does it mean for a language to be Turing-recognizable?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the differences in TM behavior between both language classes.

Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What defines a decidable language?

  • A language that may loop indefinitely
  • A language that always halts with a yes or no answer
  • A language that only accepts certain inputs

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about whether every input has a guaranteed outcome.

Question 2

Is the Halting Problem decidable?

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall the implications of Turing's proof.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Construct an argument demonstrating why the Halting Problem is undecidable.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Follow Turing's original proof steps and analyze the implications of machine behavior when calling itself.

Question 2

Give an example of a language that is Turing-recognizable but not decidable and justify your choice.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think of the properties and definitions we've discussed about recognition and decidability.
