# Halting Problem Turing was able to prove that no algorithm exists that receives: * Any state table * Any input tape And decides whether the machine will *halt* or not. However, it is worth emphasizing that there is no *single algorithm* that works on *all machines and tapes*. But for some *specific* machines and tapes, there are specialized algorithms that can possibly work. --- Date: 20241117 Links to: Tags: References: * []()
