Is PDA and Turing Machine same?

The only difference is that a pushdown automaton (as hopefully makes sense by the name) can only access stored data in a Last-in-First-out sequence, whereas a Turing machine can scan through memory arbitrarily.

How is a Turing Machine like a PDA?

A Turing Machine is very similar to a FSA and Pushdown Automata (PDA). Think of a Turing Machine as consisting of a head (like you’d find on a typewriter) and then a system of states and transition-arrows, just like in a FSA. The head of the machine starts off pointing to the first symbol in the input string.

Can a Turing Machine implement a PDA?

A PDA can be simulated by a Turing Machine that only reads and writes from the end of its tape.

What is the relationship between a Turing Machine and a finite state machine?

To summarize: Finite state machines describe a small class of languages where no memory is needed. Turing Machines are the mathematical description of a computer and accept a much larger class of languages than FSMs do.

Why is Turing machine more powerful than PDA?

Turing Machines are Way more Powerful than Push down automata. The turning Machine has Infinite tape length and storage, PDA has limited(stack). Turing Machine can simulate any real-life world computer whereas PDA cannot.

Is Turing machine more powerful than PDA?

Turing machines are indeed more powerful than regular PDAs. However in special case of a PDA with two stacks (TPDA or 2-PDA) the TPDA is equally powerful than a turing automata.

Can a TM simulate a PDA?

Every 3-PDA can be simulated by a TM. Every TM can be simulated by a 2-PDA. Thus, 2-PDAs, 3-PDAs and TMs are all equally powerful.

What is more powerful Turing machine or PDA?

2 Answers. If you only consider that ‘Turing machines can always be made to behave like a stack’ you can only conclude that they are at least as powerful as pushdown automata. But in general, yes it is true, Turing machines are more powerful than PDAs.
