B- Imagine you are trying to solve the following puzzle using the A* search algorithm. The puzzle involves two-digit numbers from 10 to 99. There are two legal actions: you can add 1 to any digit except 9 and you can subtract 1 from any digit except 0. (E.g., 10 can be changed, in one step, to 20 and 11, while 99 can be changed to 89 and 98). There is one restriction: you can never create the number 55. All actions have cost 100. The task is to find the shortest solution path from a given start number to a given goal number. Design and justify an admissible heuristic function for this puzzle.

Use a one-dimensional array to solve the following problem: Read in 10 numbers, each of which is between 10 and 100. As each number is read, print it only if it's not a duplicate of a number that has already been read. Provide for the "worst case", in which all 10 numbers are different. Use the smallest possible array to solve this problem. This needs to be in Java and Html.
Count divisibles in range def count_divisibles_in_range(start, end, n): Let us take a breather by tackling a problem simple enough that its solution needs only a couple of conditional statements and some arithmetic, but not even one loop or anything even more fancy. The difficulty is coming up with the conditions that cover all possible cases of this problem exactly right, including all of the potentially tricksy edge and corner cases, without being off-by-one. Given three integers start, end and n so that start <= end, count how many integers between start and end, inclusive, are divisible by n. Sure, you could solve this problem with the list comprehension one-linerreturn len([x for x in range(start, end+1) if x % n == 0]) but of course the automated tester is designed so that anybody trying to solve this problem in such a blunt fashion will only find themselves running out of both time and space! Your code should have no loops at all, but use only integer arithmetic and…
Correct answer will be upvoted else Multiple Downvoted. Computer science. you can choose two indices x and y (x≠y) and set ax=⌈axay⌉ (ceiling function). Your goal is to make array a consist of n−1 ones and 1 two in no more than n+5 steps. Note that you don't have to minimize the number of steps. Input The first line contains a single integer t (1≤t≤1000) — the number of test cases. The first and only line of each test case contains the single integer n (3≤n≤2⋅105) — the length of array a. It's guaranteed that the sum of n over test cases doesn't exceed 2⋅105. Output For each test case, print the sequence of operations that will make a as n−1 ones and 1 two in the following format: firstly, print one integer m (m≤n+5) — the number of operations; next print m pairs of integers x and y (1≤x,y≤n; x≠y) (x may be greater or less than y) — the indices of the corresponding operation. It can be proven that for the given constraints it's always possible to find a correct sequence…
Correct answer will be upvoted else Multiple Downvoted. Computer science. assume mid=⌊max(array)+min(array)2⌋, where max and min — are capacities that track down the maximum and the base array components. At the end of the day, mid is the amount of the maximum and the base component of array separated by 2 adjusted down. Then, at that point, the array is parted into two parts left and right. The left array contains all components which are not exactly or equal mid, and the right array contains all components which are greater than mid. Components in left and right maintain their relative control from array. During the third step we pick which of the left and right arrays we want to keep. The picked array replaces the current one and the other is permanently discarded. You want to assist Mike with discovering the aftereffects of q beauty tests. Note that you test the attractiveness of the array a, so you start each beauty test with the primordial (initial) array a.…
Javascript Use a for/of loop to iterate over the array of students. For each student, use a template literal to print out their name, age, and major in a formatted string. (e.g. John is 18 years old and is studying Computer Science.) Within the template literal, use object dot notation to access the name, age, and major properties of the student object. Use a console.log() to print out the formatted string for each student. Test the code by running it and verifying that it prints out the details of each student in a formatted string.============================================================================== const students = [ { name: "John", age: 18, major: "Computer Science" }, { name: "Newton", age: 19, major: "Mathematics" }, { name: "Barry", age: 20, major: "Physics" }, ]; // Iterate through the array of objects students using for/of // Print a message to the console that includes the student's name, age, and major // Example: John is 18 years old and…
Assume you are playing a card game using a standard 52-card deck. You are dealt a hand of cards that are all the same suit, spades. You are dealt first a 5, then a 3, then 8, and finally 4. You first took the 5 into your hand. Then you put the three before the 5. Next you put the 8 behind the 5. Finally, you put the 4 between the 3 and 5. Which sorting algorithm is most similar to how you sorted your hand? Group of answer choices 1. Quick Sort 2. Insertion Sort 3. Merge Sort 4. Selection Sort
Some of these are partitions and some aren’t. You don’t need to find the answer, youjust need to say why it is or isn’t a partition. (a) Breaking this class up into first-year students, second-year students, etc.(b) Breaking this class up into CS majors, math majors, etc.(c) Splitting up the numbers {1, 2, . . . 10} into even and odd(d) Splitting up the numbers {1, 2, . . . 10} into multiples of three, multiples of two, or neither.
Suppose we are talking about a mysterious number called Opaque Number. Any positive integer is Opaque Number if it has the following properties. All digits of the number alternate between even and odd. Thefirst/last digit cannot be the highest digit in that number. Your task is to take a positive integer number from user and find if it is Opaque Number or not. Write down this C Program by using only if else and loop . ignored array.
Code in python: A certain company has encoded the accounts of its customers and requires that you provide an algorithm that, given an account code, informs if it is valid according to the following description: The account codes are made up of 4 digits counted from right to left, plus the verification digit. The verifying digit is obtained by adding the digits of the account number of the even positions and multiplying the digits of the odd positions, from the new result the residue of the division is extracted for 10, which represents the verifying digit. Develop the code in python as a check digit class that returns 1 if it is correct or 0 if not Heading: Extract digits, verifier calculation, Account verification, Integral algorithm
