Java Assignment:
Mathematics is the very interesting subject and for the India it is also a point of pride
because Mr. Brahmagupta gives the 0 to world. So, in this series want to be great
mathematician like Brahmagupta. He is keep practicing for her goal achievement. Once He
knew about the Vector dot Product So He asked his friend Sammer the problem. He gave
her two vectors A and B length N. He asked him to reduce the dot output of these two
vectors. Sammer has the option to change the order of the objects of these two carriers i.e.,
in any two objects I and j at any vector can change the shape of these objects.
Since Sammer is new to the program, he has asked you to resolve the issue using C++
Programming language.

Knight's Tour: The Knight's Tour is a mathematical problem involving a knight on a chessboard. The knight is placed on the empty board and, moving according to the rules of chess, must visit each square exactly once. There are several billion solutions to the problem, of which about 122,000,000 have the knight finishing on the same square on which it begins. When this occurs the tour is said to be closed. Your assignment is to write a program that gives a solution to the Knight's Tour problem recursively. You must hand in a solution in C++ AND Java. The name of the C++ file should be "main.cc" and the name of the Java file should be "Main.java". Write C++ only with a file name of main.cc Please run in IDE and check to ensure that there are no errors occuring
Output should look similar to:

One variation on the game of nim is described in Luger. The game begins with a single pile of stones. The
move by a player consists of dividing a pile into two piles that contain an unequal number of stones. For
example, if one pile contains six stones, it could be subdivided into piles of five and one, or four and two, but
not three and three. The first player who cannot make a move loses the game.
(5.1) Draw the complete game tree for this version of Nim if the start state consists of six stones.
(5.2) Perform a minimax evaluation for this game. Let 1 denote a win and 0 a loss.

- A decreasing sequence of numbers is a sequence of integers where every integer in the sequence is smaller than all other previous integers in that sequence. For example, •35, 16, 7, 2, 0, -3, -9 is a decreasing sequence of numbers. The length of this sequence is 7 (total numbers in the sequence) and the difference of this sequence is 35 - (-9) -44. • 5 is a decreasing sequence of numbers with length 1 and difference 5-5 = 0 •99,-99 is a decreasing sequence of numbers with length 2 and difference 99-(-99) = 198 •17, 23, 11, 8, -5, -3 is not a decreasing sequence of %3D numbers. Write a program that contains a main() function. The main function repeatedly asks the user to enter an integer if the previously entered integers form a decreasing sequence of numbers. This process stops as soon as the latest user input breaks the decreasing sequence. Then your function should print the length and difference of the decreasing sequence. Finally, call the main() function such that the call will be…arrow_forwardArtificial intelligence (Question - 6) ======================= One variation on the game of nim is described in Luger.

The goal is to draw all of the cards from the deck, and end up with no cards left in your hand. You will run through the deck of cards one time. Start by dealing 4 cards to your hand. You will always look at the last 4 cards in your hand. If the ranks of the “outer” pair (1st and 4th) are the same, discard all four cards. Otherwise, if the suits of the “inner” pair (2nd and 3rd) are the same, discard those 2 cards only. If you have less than 4 cards, draw enough to have 4 cards in your hand. If the deck is empty, the game is over. Your score will be the number of cards that remain in your hand. Like in golf, the lower the score the better. Create a new Python module in a file named “idiots_delight.py”. Add a function called deal_hand that creates a standard deck of cards, deals out a single hand of 4 cards and returns both the hand and the deck.

- IN JAVA Alice and Bob are playing a board game with a deck of nine cards. For each digit between 1 to 9, there is one card with that digit on it. Alice and Bob each draw two cards after shuffling the cards, and see the digits on their own cards without revealing the digits to each other. Then Alice gives her two cards to Bob. Bob sees the digits on Alice’s cards and lays all the four cards on the table in increasing order by the digits. Cards are laid facing down. Bob tells Alice the positions of her two cards. The goal of Alice is to guess the digits on Bob’s two cards. Can Alice uniquely determine these two digits and guess them correctly? Input The input has two integers p,q (1≤p<q≤9) on the first line, giving the digits on Alice’s cards. The next line has a string containing two ‘A’s and two ‘B’s, giving the positions of Alice’s and Bob’s cards on the table. It is guaranteed that Bob correctly sorts the cards and gives the correct positions of Alice’s cards. Output If Alice can…arrow_forwardCorrect answer will be upvoted else Multiple Downvoted. Don't submit random answer. Computer science. anglers have recently gotten back from a fishing excursion. The I-th angler has gotten a fish of weight man-made intelligence. Anglers will flaunt the fish they got to one another. To do as such, they initially pick a request where they show their fish (every angler shows his fish precisely once, in this way, officially, the request for showing fish is a stage of integers from 1 to n). Then, at that point, they show the fish they discovered by the picked request. At the point when an angler shows his fish, he may either become glad, become dismal, or stay content. Assume an angler shows a fish of weight x, and the most extreme load of a formerly shown fish is y (y=0 if that angler is quick to show his fish). Then, at that point: in the event that x≥2y, the angler becomes cheerful; in the event that 2x≤y, the angler becomes miserable; in the event that none of these two…arrow_forward3. Card Flipper: You walk into a room, and see a row of n cards. Each one has a number x; written on it, where i ranges from 1 to n. However, initially all the cards are face down. Your goal is to find a local minimum: that is, a card i whose number is less than or equal to those of its neighbors, xj-1 = X; <= Xj+1. The first and last cards can also be local minima, and they only have one neighbor to compare to. There can be many local minima, but you are only responsible for finding one of them. Obviously you can solve this problem by turning over all n cards, and scanning through them. However, show that you can find such a minimum by turning over only O(log n) cards.arrow_forward

Specifically, at time t each bird b will be at position (x¿(t), Yb(t)). The tuple of bird positions repeats with period T. Birds might move up to 3 squares per time step. An example is shown below, but keep in mind that you should answer for a general instance of the problem, not simply the map and path shown below. Your insect can share squares with birds and it can even hitch a ride on them! On any time step that your insect shares a square with a bird, the insect may either move as normal or move directly to the bird's next location (either action has cost 1, even if the bird travels farther than one square).arrow_forwardAssignment 5B: Keeping Score. Now that we know about arrays, we can keep track of when events occur during our program. To prove this, let's create a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors. For those not familiar with this game, the basic premise is that each player says "Rock-Paper- Scissors!" and then makes their hand into the shape of one of the three objects. Winners are determined based on the following rules: Rock beats Scissors Scissors beats Paper Paper beats Rock At the start of the program, it will ask the player how many rounds of Rock-Paper- Scissors they want to play. After this, the game will loop for that many number of times. Each loop, it will ask the player what item they want to use – Rock, Paper, or Scissors. The computer will randomly generate its own item, and a winner will be determined. The game will then save the result as an element of an array, and the next round will begin. Once all the rounds have been played, the program will say "Game Over" and display a list of who…arrow_forwardQ2: There are three buckets size X, Y, M (1<=X<=Y<=M). All three buckets are initially empty. Using these three buckets, we can perform any number of the following two types of operations. We can fill the smallest bucket (of size X) completely to the top with X units of water and pour it into the size-M bucket, as long as this will not cause the size-M bucket to overflow. We can fill the medium bucket (of size Y) completely to the top with Y units of water and pour it into the size-M bucket, as long as this will not cause the size-M bucket to overflow. Although we may not be able to completely fill the size-M bucket, but we can still determine the maximum amount of milk we can possibly add to largest bucket. Sample input: 17 25 77 Sample output: 76 In this example, we fill the bucket of size 17 three times and then bucket of size 25 once, accumulating a total of 76 units of water.

After devoting decades of his life to further our space exploration technologies, he’s finally ready to retire. Being a space enthusiast, the first thing he wants to do is visit n planets p1, p2, …, pn, in this order. He’s currently on planet p0. Milan knows that the distance between planets pi and pi + 1 (for 0 ≤ i < n) is d[i]light years. His spaceship uses 1 tonne of fossil fuels per light year. He starts with a full tank and can fill up his tank at any of the n planets (but he must not run out in between two planets). There’s a huge cost to set up the spaceship for refuelling. Due to financial constraints (he’s not THAT rich), he can fill up his tank at most ktimes. In order to save money and make his spaceship lighter, Milan is looking for the smallest possible fuel tank that enables him to complete his space travel and reach planet pn. What is the smallest tank capacity that enables him to do so?…arrow_forwardarrow_back_iosSEE MORE QUESTIONSarrow_forward_ios
