They have a very strange money system in Byteland. Each Byteland gold coin has a whole number written on it. Coin n can be exchanged at the bank for three coins: n/2, n/3 and n/4. But these numbers are all rounded down (banks have to make a profit). You can also sell Byteland Coins for US Dollars. The exchange rate is 1:1. But you cannot buy Byteland coins. You have one gold coin. What is the maximum US dollar amount you can get for this?

The G ame of Master Mind is played as follows:The computer has four slots, and each slot will contain a ball that is red (R), yellow (Y), green (G) orblue (B). For example, the computer might have RGGB (Slot #1 is red, Slots #2 and #3 are green, Slot#4 is blue).You, the user, are trying to guess the solution. You might, for example, guess YRGB.When you guess the correct color for the correct slot, you get a "hit:' If you guess a color that existsbut is in the wrong slot, you get a "pseudo-hit:' Note that a slot that is a hit can never count as apseudo-hit.For example, if the actual solution is RGBY and you guess GGRR, you have one hit and one pseudohitWrite a method that, given a guess and a solution, returns the number of hits and pseudo-hits.
The Monty Hall Cash game costs $12 to play. Once you pay, you havea choice of three doors. Behind one door is $20, behind the other twois absolutely nothing (i.e. $0). You pick a door, say number 1, andthe host running the game, who knows what’s behind the doors, opensanother door, say number 3, which has absolutely nothing. He says toyou, “Do you want to switch to door number 2?”. You can decide toswitch doors, or stay with your initial choice. You “win” whatever isbehind the door you end up choosing. Use a python Jupyter notebook to run simulations of the gameto estimate/approximate the expected value of the game if youalways switch, and the expected value if you always stay.

Write a Python Program that will simulate a registration system, as follows: Welcome: Display a message to welcome the user and ask for their info Capture user input: Ask the user to input the following information: o First name (String) Last name (String) o Age (integer) you must adjust value by subtracting 2 years Current GPA (float) you must adjust by adding 0.5 o Hobbies (only 3) (a string Collection containing 3 items) (all strings) Hint: you can ask user to specify each hobby one by one, and then you can update (or add) each item to the Collection Display user information: thank user for registration & show their info Goodbye: Display a Goodbye message and end Program
Suppose you have a thermometer in a lab that displays temperaturesin Fahrenheit. You would like to convert the reading into Celsius andconnect a digital screen to display a message. If the temperature is 40 o Cor more, the screen would display “hot temperature”, between 39 o C and30 o C would display “warm temperature”, between 29 o C and 11 o C woulddisplay “good temperature”, and anything from 10 o C or lower would display“Winter is here…”. Write a program in python that would get the unit converter anddisplay screen working.
Create a Java project with one class StringMethods. Write the main() method with the following as the first statement: String word = "riGhtS"; Complete the main() method by doing the following. 1. Print the string on one line 2. Print the length of the string on one line 3. Print the string in all uppercase on one line 4. Print the string in all lower case on one line 5. Print the string in all lower case with 's' removed on one line 6. Print the string with 'S' replaced by '$' on one line 7. Print the original string on one line The output with the given string "riGhtS" will be as below: The original string: riGhtS The length: 6 ALL UPPER CASE: RIGHTS all lower case: rights all lower case with 's' removed: right The original string with 'S' replaced by '$': riGht$ The original string: riGhtS Do not hard code "riGhtS" in your output statement. Codecheck will use another string to test your program, and you must use the variable word. Do not declare additional variables. Remember that…

There are several cases where we can use conversions from one quantity to another. It can be about temperature, from Celsius to Fahrenheit; imperial units to SI units (such as inches to centimeters, or feet to meters, or miles to kilometers); or currencies (Turkish Liras to Dollars). Consider the following hypothetical scenario where products are displayed in an online store. Of course, everything will be in your Java program. The store should be able to display the product information using the correct units and prices to any visitor in the world. The users can display the products in the store and can add their own. Design and implement the Java version of this scenario. In the main function, create two products from Turkey, using SI units and the price in Turkish Liras, two products from the USA, using imperial units and the price in US Dollars. Finally, display all four items from Germany, using SI units and Euros. You can come up with the conversion rates, they don’t have to be…
Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100 (inclusive), one per line. However, there are three special cases where instead of printing the number, you print a message in its place:1. If the number you would print is divisible by 3, print the message: Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.2. If the number you would print is divisible by 5, print the message: Where do you see yourself in five years?3. If the number you would print is divisible by both 3 and 5, instead print out: In the future, everyone will be world famous for 15 minutes.Make sure to print the exact strings given above!

On a piano, a key has a frequency, say f0. Each higher key (black or white) has a frequency of f0 * rn, where n is the distance (number of keys) from that key, and r is 2(1/12). Given an initial key frequency, output that frequency and the next 4 higher key frequencies. Output each floating-point value with two digits after the decimal point, which can be achieved as follows:print('%0.2f %0.2f %0.2f %0.2f %0.2f' % (your_value1, your_value2, your_value3, your_value4, your_value5))
