Everything about Counter machine
Abstract machine used in a formal logic and theoretical computer science
In formal logic and theoretical computer science, a counter machine or counter automaton is an abstract machine used to model computation. A counter machine comprises a set of one or more unbounded registers, each of which can hold a single non-negative integer, and a list of arithmetic and control instructions for the machine to follow. It is the most primitive of the four types of register machines. Wikipedia →
