Difference between Turing machine end state and halt Is there a difference between the end state of a Turing machine and the halt state? Especially, for example the Busy Beaver 3. It is said that it is with 3 states but there is also a halt. Is the end state $q_2$ or the $halt$?
"End(ing) state" and "halt(ing) state" are just two (four) different ways of saying the same thing.
