In the game of 10-pin bowling the bowler has two attempts to knock down pins for every frame of 10-pins, and scores a point for each pin knocked down. If all the pins are knocked down with two attempts, the bowler gets a bonus - whatever score they obtain with their next bowl is doubled. If all the pins are knocked down on the 1st attempt, no 2nd attempt is allowed, and the bowler gets a bonus – whatever score they obtain on their next two bowls are doubled. A student attempts to capture this scoring system in VHDL code, a fragment of which is shown in Figure Q4. Q4 (a) Draw the state transition diagram described by the VHDL of Figure Q4. Discuss whether the VHDL of Figure Q4 correctly scores a game of 10-pin bowling.

Correct answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Computer science. There are two potential results of a game: the game might bring about a tie, then, at that point, the two groups get 1 point; one group may dominate in a match, then, at that point, the triumphant group gets 3 focuses and the losing group gets 0 focuses. The score of a group is the number of focuses it acquired during all games that it played. You are keen on a theoretical circumstance when all groups get a similar score toward the finish of the title. A basic illustration of that circumstance is the point at which all games bring about ties, however you need to limit the number of ties too. Your assignment is to depict a circumstance (pick the aftereffect of each game) so that all groups get a similar score, and the number of ties is the base conceivable. Input The main line contains one integer t (1≤t≤100) — the number of experiments. Then, at that point, the experiments follow. Each…
This problem is taken from the delightful book "Problems for Mathematicians, Young and Old" by Paul R. Halmos. Suppose that 931 tennis players want to play an elimination tournament. That means: they pair up, at random, for each round; if the number of players before the round begins is odd, one of them, chosen at random, sits out that round. The winners of each round, and the odd one who sat it out (if there was an odd one), play in the next round, till, finally, there is only one winner, the champion. What is the total number of matches to be played altogether, in all the rounds of the tournament? Your answer: Hint: This is much simpler than you think. When you see the answer you will say "of course".
A group of people, numbered 1 to N, are sitting in a circle. Starting at person 1, a hot potato is passed. After x number of passes, the person holding the hot potato is eliminated, the circle closes ranks, and the game continues with the person who was sitting after the eliminated person picking up the hot potato. The last remaining person wins. For example: number of passes = 1 and number of players = 5, the order of elimination is 2, 4, 1, 5. Write a program for general values of X and N. Ask a user for the number of people and number of passes To speed up the input and debugging, you may wish to store the names of the people in a file. Make sure no two names start the same letter ( Alex and Ana are not OK). Alternatively, you can number the players. Output number and/or the name of a person being eliminated Output number and the name of the winner Do not expect a user to do the right thing, error check the user input; among other things, what do you think a reasonable…

Alex is playing Poker card game. He starts with a deck of N cards, where for each valid (i), the ith card has an integer A¡ written on it. Now the dealer starts dealing the cards one by one in the order from card 1 to card N. Alex wins if at some moment in time, the sum of all the cards dealt so far is between X and Y inclusive; if this never happens, Alex loses. You are now helping Alex to win the game, so without him noticing, you will swap some pairs of cards before the game starts. Develop a python script to find the smallest number of swaps we need so that Alex would win the game, or find that it is impossible to make Alex win. Display a single line containing one integer i.e., the smallest required number of swaps or -1 if Alex cannot win. Input: 5 15 22 10 15 22 4 19 Output: 1
Your checkWinner function should determine whether or not the game is over. If the game is over, it should print who won (if anyone), and return true. If the game is not over, it should return false. The game is over if someone wins by getting three X's or three O's in a row, column or diagonal. So there are 8 different combinations of 3-in-a-row moves. You may assume that the board has a size of 3 (length and width). The TicTacBoard.java file I'm giving you uses a variable for that size, but you can assume it's always 3. The game is also over if the board is full but nobody won. I recommend you write some other functions to help in determining if the game is over. Remember you should never copy and paste code if you can avoid it. Write a function to perform a common, generalizable task, and call that function every time you need it. (Like I did with my dispRow method.) Please follow the standard conventions for indentation, meaningful variable names, etc. like the examples in class…
Correct answer will be upvoted else downvoted. 2k groups take an interest in a season finisher competition. The competition comprises of 2k−1 games. They are held as follows: as a matter of first importance, the groups are parted into sets: group 1 plays against group 2, group 3 plays against group 4 (precisely in a specific order, etc (thus, 2k−1 games are played in that stage). At the point when a group loses a game, it is wiped out, and each game outcomes in disposal of one group (there are no ties). From that point onward, just 2k−1 groups remain. If by some stroke of good luck one group remains, it is pronounced the hero; in any case, 2k−2 games are played: in the first of them, the champ of the game "1 versus 2" plays against the victor of the game "3 versus 4", then, at that point, the victor of the game "5 versus 6" plays against the champ of the game "7 versus 8, etc. This cycle rehashes until just one group remains. Input :The principal line contains one integer k…

Raghu and Sayan both like to eat (a lot) but since they are also looking after their health, they can only eat a limited amount of calories per day. So when Kuldeep invites them to a party, both Raghu and Sayan decide to play a game. The game is simple, both Raghu and Sayan will eat the dishes served at the party till they are full, and the one who eats maximum number of distinct dishes is the winner. However, both of them can only eat a dishes if they can finish it completely i.e. if Raghu can eat only 50 kCal in a day and has already eaten dishes worth 40 kCal, then he can't eat a dish with calorie value greater than 10 kCal.Given that all the dishes served at the party are infinite in number, (Kuldeep doesn't want any of his friends to miss on any dish) represented by their calorie value(in kCal) and the amount of kCal Raghu and Sayan can eat in a day, your job is to find out who'll win, in case of a tie print “Tie” (quotes for clarity).

Correct answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Four players take part in the season finisher competition. The competition is held by the accompanying plan: the principal player will play with the second, and the third player with the fourth, then, at that point, the victors of the sets will play in the finals of the competition. It is realized that in a match between two players, the one whose expertise is more noteworthy will win. The ability of the I-th player is equivalent to si and all expertise levels are pairwise unique (i. e. there are no two indistinguishable qualities in the exhibit s). The competition is called reasonable if the two players with the most elevated abilities meet in the finals. Decide if the given competition is reasonable. Input :The principal line contains a solitary integer t (1≤t≤104) — the number of experiments. A solitary line of experiment contains four integers s1,s2,s3,s4 (1≤si≤100) — ability of the players. It is ensured that every one…
Consider a game in which two players take turns removing any positive number of matches they want from one of two piles of matches. The player who removes the last match wins the game. Show that if the two piles contain the same number of matches initially, the second player can always guarantee a win.
