Turing-completeness

Turing-completeness refers to a system's ability to perform any possible calculation or solve any computational problem, given enough time and resources. It is based on the concept of a Turing machine, an abstract machine proposed by Alan Turing. This machine can, in theory, simulate any computer algorithm. A programming language or a computational system is Turing-complete if it can do everything a Turing machine can do. This means it can theoretically solve any problem that can be computationally described, assuming there are no limitations on memory or execution time.
