There is a single pile of n chips. Two players take turns by removing from the pile at least one and at most m chips: the number of chips taken may vary from one move to another, but both the lower and upper limits stay the same.

You are given a 2 by n grid, where the cell on row i column j contains a non-negative number ai,j . You can start at either cell in the lefttmost column, and your goal is to reach either cell in the rightmost column by a sequence of moves. You can move to an adjacent cell (if it exists) in each of the 4 cardinal directions (up,down, left and right). A path achieves a score equal to the sum of values in its cells. Note that a cell which is used twice in a path only counts its value once to the score of that path.Design an algorithm which runs in O(n) time and finds a path of minimum score from the leftmost column to the rightmost column.

X-Kingdom has trapped n number of soldiers of their opponent. They want to execute them. They created a strategy so that the prisoners will kill each other and at the end one prisoner will be alive and eventually released. As part of the process, they assigned each trapped soldier a sequence number starting from 1 and ending at n. If n = 5 and k = 2, then the safe position is 3. Firstly, the person at position 2 is killed, then person at position 4 is killed, then person at position 1 is killed. Finally, the person at position 5 is killed. So, the person at position 3 survives. If n = 7 and k = 3, then the safe position is 4. The people at positions 3, 6, 2, 7, 5, 1 are killed in order, and the person at position 4 survives. Input:n and k Output:Print the list of prisoners in reverse order from n to 1Then reverse the list to print it in correct order from 1 to nDisplay the position number who will survive. You must have to use circular doubly linked list for your solution. You…
In a hypothetical study of population dynamics, scientists have been tracking the number of rabbits and foxes on an island. The number of rabbits and foxes are determined once a year using high resolution infrared cameras and advanced computer vision methods.Each year, the number of rabbits and foxes are found to change by the following equations: $$ {\Delta}R = round( kr*R - krf*R*F ) $$ $$ {\Delta}F = round( -kf*F + kfr*R*F ) $$ where $ {\Delta}r $ and $ {\Delta} f $ are the changes in number of rabbits and foxes by the end of that year; and R and F are the population sizes at the end of the previous year. kr, krf, kf, kfr are coefficients that depend on the species of rabbits and foxes.With these dynamics, the scientists realize that one or both species can become extinct on the island. At the end of each year, if there are fewer than 2 animals of a kind, the scientists transfer rabbits and/or foxes to make sure there are at least 2 of each kind.Write a function…
There is an upcoming football tournament, and the n participating teams are labelled from 1 to n. Each pair of teams will play against each other exactly once. Thus, a total of matches will be held, and each team will compete in n − 1 of these matches. There are only two possible outcomes of a match: 1. The match ends in a draw, in which case both teams will get 1 point. 2. One team wins the match, in which case the winning team gets 3 points and the losing team gets 0 points. Design an algorithm which runs in O(n2 ) time and provides a list of results in all matches which: (a) ensures that all n teams finish with the same points total, and (b) includes the fewest drawn matches among all lists satisfying (a). Do not write the code, give steps and methods. Explain the steps of algorithm, and the logic behind these steps in plain English.Please give time complexity. list of results mean Any combination of wins, losses and draws. You may wish to view this as a mapping from the set of…
