Task 07: The concept of Tower of Hanoi discusses a mathematical puzzle where we have
three rods and n disks. The objective of the puzzle is to move the entire stack to another rod,
obeying the following simple rules:
1. Only one disk can be moved at a time.
2. Each move consists of taking the upper disk from one of the stacks and placing
it on top of another stack i.e. a disk can only be moved if it is the uppermost disk
on a stack.
3. No disk may be placed on top of a smaller disk.
Write a program that takes number of disks as input and prints a sequence of steps to solve
Tower of Hanoi problem.
hint: If number of disks are 3, the program prints following sequence:
Move disk I from rod A to rod C
Move disk 2 from rod A to rod B
Move disk I from rod C to rod B
Move disk 3 from rod A to rod C
Move disk 1 from rod B to rod A
Move disk 2 from rod B to rod C
Move disk I from rod A to rod C

O True Falsearrow_forwardPython: Describe a recursive algorithm that counts the number of nodes in a singly linked list.arrow_forwardTowers of Hanoi. There is a story about Buddhist monks who are playing this puzzle with 64 stone disks. The story claims that when the monks finish moving the disks from one post to a second via the third post, time will end. Eschatology (concerns about the end of time) and theology will be left to those better qualified; our interest is limited to the recur- sive solution to the problem. A stack of n disks of decreasing size is placed on one of three posts. The task is to move the disks one at a time from the first post to the second. To do this, any disk can be moved from any post to any other post, subject to the rule that you can never place a larger disk over a smaller disk. The (spare) third post is provided to make the solution possible. Your task is using c++ write a recursive function that describes instructions for a solution to this problem. We don’t have graphics available, so you should output a sequence of instructions that will solve the problem. Hint: If you could…arrow_forward
- Select which of the following statements about searching for items in a list is incorrect. Group of answer choices 1. In an unsorted list, if the item is not present in the list, we will need to check every single item. In a sorted list, if we start the search at the smallest item, at most we would only need to check all items smaller than the target. If we get to an item larger than the target we can end our search early. This would make searching faster in the sorted list. 2. Sorting a list only makes sense for primitive types (ints, doubles) and Strings but not objects. For this reason we cannot sort a list of objects, and will always have to check each object in a list when we search for a target object. 3. In an unsorted list you need to check each item, to see if it is the item you want. If the list is sorted you can look at the middle item and then you can direct your search to the relevant portion of the list (higher or lower). This is called binary search. This will…arrow_forwardDevelop Java methods to perform the following operations on an unordered list (using linked lists). What is the complexity of each of these algorithms. 1. Insert an element at the start (front) of the list 2. Insert an element at the end (rear) of the list 3. Insert an element at the middle of the list following an element already in the list. 4. Remove an element from the middle of the listarrow_forwardslecetion sort (python) Selection sort is a sorting algorithm, like Bubble sort which you saw in the previous module. Selection sort works as follows: Selection sort divides the input list into two parts: a sublist of sorted items (left part) and a sublist of still unsorted items (right part). Initially, the sorted sublist is empty and the whole input consists of the unsorted sublist. To fill the sorted sublist, the algorithm computes the (index of) the minimum of the unsorted sublist and swaps the first unsorted element and the minimum element (if the minimum is already the first element, nothing happens). Afterward, the sorted sublist is one bigger. This continues until the unsorted sublist is empty and the entire input is sorted. Example: Sorted sublist Unsorted sublist Least element in unsorted list () (11, 25, 12, 22, 64) 11 (11) (25, 12, 22, 64) 12 (11, 12) (25, 22, 64) 22 (11, 12, 22) (25, 64) 25 (11, 12, 22, 25) (64) 64 (11, 12, 22, 25, 64) () Implement this…arrow_forward

- Quick Sort We choose an element from the list, called the pivot. We'll use it to divide the list into two sub-lists. We reorder all the elements around the pivot The ones with smaller value are placed before it All the elements greater than the pivot after it. After this step, the pivot is in its final position. This is the important partition step. We apply the above steps recursively to both sub-lists on the left and right of the pivot. Quick Sort (Example) Consider the following array Arr[] = {5, 9, 4, 6, 5, 3} Let's suppose we pick 5 as the pivot for simplicity We'll first put all elements less than 5 in the first position of the array: {3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 9} We'll then repeat it for the left sub-array {3,4}, taking 3 as the pivot There are no elements less than 3 We apply quicksort on the sub-array in the right of the pivot, i.e. {4} This sub-array consists of only one sorted element We continue with the right part of the original array, {6, 5, 9} until we get the final ordered…arrow_forwardQ. No. 2. Write a program to input and push 12, 7, 8, 9, 4, 6, 5, 8 and 2 more values any of your choice into a stack. Pop the values from the stack and compute factorial of each using recursive function and show values on the screen.arrow_forwardA drop-out stack is a data structure that acts just like a stack except that if the stack size is n, and the n + 1 element is pushed, the first element is lost. Using an array, create a drop-out stack. (Hint: A circular array implementation would be appropriate.)arrow_forward
