"The following line of python code is able to simulate a Universal Turing Machine:" while len(word) > S : pIndex, word = (pIndex + 1) % len(C), word[1:] + C[pIndex] if (word[0] == "1") else word[1:]

It's not obvious for a non-Pythonista, but the if .. else .. is meant to be on the previous line. It's a ternary conditional like cond?a:b in C (with the condition in the middle).

  Yes, they should have broken the line before `word[1:]` so it was clearer.
