Alan had many pioneering roles, two of the most important is:

1. Defining all programs as a "Turing machine", a machine with a definite stopping condition.

2. Answering the Question , "Can a Machine Think?", with his communicating with a partner behind a curtain, man or machine. Watson and SIRI are latest answers.

Who was that inventor name of the electronic general purpose computer?

The inventor of the electronic general purpose computer is widely acknowledged to be Alan Turing. Turing conceptualized the idea of a universal computing machine and played a crucial role in the development of the first electronic computer, the Colossus, during World War II. His theoretical work also laid the foundation for modern computer science.

Which year did Alan Turing make his computer?

In the year 1936, The Turing machine was developed featuring computability and was considered a universal machine. I do not agree. There is no such thing as "the Turing machine", at least not as a material machine. It is a purely theoretical machine, it features, among other things a tape of infinite length. Turing did help in building Colossus, a system used to break German ciphers, but I think this was in 1943. He also worked on the so-called bombs which were a further development of a Polish code-breaking approach (see related link). Who built the first computer is, however, subject of a lot of debate. Turing was certainly one of the first to describe the concept of computability mathematically using his theoretical machine.


What role does the decider Turing machine play in determining the computability of a given problem?

The decider Turing machine is a theoretical concept used in computer science to determine if a problem is computable. It acts as a tool to analyze and decide whether a given problem can be solved algorithmically. By simulating the behavior of the decider Turing machine, researchers can assess the computability of a problem and understand its complexity.

What british mathematician broke the German codes in ww II?

He didn't do it by himself, but Alan Turing played a key role in breaking the German codes during WWII. Turing is recognized by many (although not all) as the Father of Artificial Intelligence. Among those who played a key role in breaking the Enigma code and the Lorenz code were a group of Polish mathematicians who had been spirited out of France? by the British so that the Germans would not capture them.


Is there any famous code breakers?

Yes, one of the most famous code breakers of all time was Alan Turing, a mathematician and computer scientist who played a crucial role in breaking the German Enigma code during World War II. His work at Bletchley Park, along with a team of code breakers, significantly influenced the outcome of the war.
