Question 1

What does it mean for a language to be decidable?

It means it can be recognized by a Turing Machine
It means a Turing Machine can provide a yes/no answer for all inputs
It means it can loop indefinitely

💡 Hint: Consider the behavior of TMs on inputs.

Question 2

Is the Halting Problem decidable?

True
False

💡 Hint: Think about the inability to determine halting behavior universally.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Outline a Turing Machine designed to recognize a specific decidable language and detail its components.

💡 Hint: Focus on how a TM would process inputs step by step.

Challenge 2 Hard

Explain how one could prove that the complement of a known decidable language is also decidable.

💡 Hint: Consider the properties of TMs and how states can be manipulated.
