Write a program to simulate this problem and display the answer on the screen.

Expert Solution
Step 1
  • The First student enters the school and opens all lockers so all locker are set to 1 firstly.
  • after that, iterating for loop for students between 2 to 1000 and iterating for loop for lockers between 1 to 999.
  • Adding condition when second student enters and closes every second locker as well as when third student enters into school and reverse every third locker from beginning.
  • continue iterating this loop until all 1000 students have passed by all lockers.
  • Displaying all open lockers after all process are finished.
  • Displaying total number of open lockers.
