Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which one of the following statements is FALSE?
A
Cracking the Enigma Code shortened WW2 by at least two years and saved millions of lives
B
Alan Turing was the first person to come up with the idea of a programmable machine
C
Alan Turing was one of the pioneers of modern computing
D
Polish mathematicians were the first ones to crack the Enigma Code
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Often considered the father of modern computer science, Alan Turing was famous for his work developing the first modern computers, decoding the encryption of German Enigma machines during the second world war, and detailing a procedure known as the Turing Test, forming the basis for artificial intelligence.

Detailed explanation-2: -9. Which of the following is true about Turing’s a-machine? Explanation: Turings a-machine or automatic machine was left ended, right end infinite. Any of finite number of tape symbols were allowed and the 5 tuples were not in order.

Detailed explanation-3: -In 1936, he developed the idea for the Universal Turing Machine, the basis for the first computer. And he developed a test for artificial intelligence in 1950, which is still used today. But he also studied physics, especially as a young man.

Detailed explanation-4: -It was when working on a mathematical problem concerning Decidability and The Halting Problem, though, that Turing realised he needed a mathematical description of a machine that could solve algorithms. These machines came to be known as Turing machines.
