Your team was asked to program a self-driving car that reaches its destination with minimum travel time.
Write an algorithm for this car to choose from two possible road trips. You will calculate the travel time of each trip based on the car current speed and the distance to the target destination. Assume that both distances and car speed are given.
Answer:
Max Jones belongs to a CD (compact disc) club that allows him to buy CDs at a much lower price than his local music store charges. He wants to know how much he saves by buying all of his CDs through the club rather than through the music store. The output is the savings. The input is the number of CDs purchased, the club CD price, and thestore CD price. The algorithm should use two processing items: one for the cost of buying the CDs through the club, and the other for the cost of buying the CDs through the store. Write the algorithm using pseudocode.

- Your team was asked to program a self-driving car that reaches its destination with minimum travel time. Write an algorithm for this car to choose from two possible road trips. You will calculate the travel time of each trip based on the car current speed and the distance to the target destination. Assume that both distances and car speed are given. Don’t copy and paste any other answers.arrow_forwardWrite a program that will figure out the required change for a purchase. Start by asking the user for the price of the product and the amount paid. (We are expecting that the user will give a larger value for the amount paid.) Read in each of these values as a double. Report back to the user the number of each denomination of change due. You are not just telling the user the amount of money he gets back. Hint: Working with integers is much easier. The modulo operator is your friend for this assignment. Also, note that pennies can be tricky due to the poor real number to binary conversions. (Remember that 1.00 could actually be stored as 0.9999999999997.) Do not include five-dollar bills, ten-dollar bills, etc. Only show coins and one-dollar bill amounts. Be sure to test multiple values. There is a test case below. Your program should run the test case exactly as it appears below, and should work on any other case in general.

For example, if there are 2 coins and Alice is the fitst player to pick, she will no matter she picks I or 2 coins, Bob will get the last coin and win the game. Given number of coins and the order of plavers (which means the first and the second players pick the coins), you are required to write a program to calculate the winner of the ga and calculate how many different strategies there are for heishe to win the game. should use recursion to solve the problem, and the parameters are read from the commnana line.

- The greatest common divisor of two positive integers, A and B, is the largest number that can be evenly divided into both of them. Euclid's algorithm can be used to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two positive integers. You can use this algorithm in the following manner: 1. Compute the remainder of dividing the larger number by the smaller number. 2. Replace the larger number with the smaller number and the smaller number with the remainder. 3. Repeat this process until the smaller number is zero. The larger number at this point is the GCD of A and B. Write a program that lets the user enter two integers and then prints each step in the process of using the Euclidean algorithm to find their GCD. An example of the program input and output is shown below: Enter the smaller number: 5 Enter the larger number: 15 The greatest common divisor is 5arrow_forwardSimulate the dice game of lucky sevens. The rules are: roll two dice if the sum equals 7, win $4 if the sum is not 7, lose $1 Write a program that asks the user how much they would like start the game with. The program should then: simulate the dice roll (using the random function) and show what was rolled show what the user’s funds are after each roll ask the user if they want to roll again if the user wants to roll again, repeat the three actions above if the user does not want to roll again give some response and end the game the final output should show if they won or lost money, and how many rolls they playedarrow_forwardWe would like to find the minimum number of steps required to get 0 from any number, when you can only subtract a digit present in that number in a single step. For example, if you are given 25. Then you can either subtract 2 or 5 from 25. Let's subtract 5 then we will get 20. Then we can subtract 2 and get 18 and so on. The minimum number of steps to get from 25 to 0 is shown below: 25→20→18→10→9→0. Now you need to write a DP program to find the minimum number of steps to solve the problem for any input. Input range will be from 0 to 999. [Python Implementation]arrow_forward
- The manager of Mama Calari’s Pizza Palace wants a program that calculates and displays the number of pizza slices into which a circular pizza can be divided. The manager will enter the radius of the entire pizza. For this exercise, use 14.13 as the area of a pizza slice, and use 3.14 as the value of pi. Desk-check your solution’s algorithm using 10 as the pizza’s radius; then desk-check it using 8. (Hint: For the first desk-check, the number of pizza slices should be a little over 22.)arrow_forwardThere are a dozen eggs in a basket; some are hard boiled and some are raw. The object of this game is for the user to guess the number of hard-boiled eggs prior to playing the game. The computer then simulates cracking all 12 eggs, using a random number 0 or 1 to simulate raw or hard boiled. The number 0 should represent raw eggs and the number 1 should represent hard boiled. The computer must keep track of the number of hard-boiled eggs. At the conclusion of cracking all 12 eggs, the actual number of hard boiled is compared to the user’s guess, and whether the user won or lost is given as output. PreviousNextarrow_forwardCongrats! You work for Zillow now. Your first task is to write an algorithm that recommends apartments based on a user’s preferences. Zillow offers the following three properties for rent: Apartment A – 600 square feet, pets allowed, $1400/month Apartment B – 800 square feet, no pets, $1600/month Apartment C – 1000 square feet, pets allowed, $1800/month Write an algorithm for a program that does the following: Prompt the user for the minimum square footage they will accept, how many pets they have, and the maximum price they’d pay per month, and then calculate and output the apartments that match their preferences. If there is no apartment that matches their preferences, print out "No matches, sorry!". Make sure the inputs are valid--negative square footages, prices, and pet numbers don’t make sense!arrow_forward
- In this homework assignment, you are going to code a java program which uses random numbers to create a guessing game. This will give you practice with random numbers and loops while allowing you to explore and understand a little more Java code. You will also need to test out this program to ensure the correctness of the algorithm and code. You will need to develop test data that will represent all possible kinds of data that the user may enter. You are going to write a program that allows the user to play a simple guessing game in which your program thinks up an integer between 1 and 100 and allows the user to make guesses until the user gets it right. (The program also counts how many tries it took to get the correct number). For each incorrect guess you will tell the user whether the right answer is higher or lower. Your program is required to exactly reproduce the format and behavior of the log of execution. Program should output: (Sample user output written in bold) This program…arrow_forwardA new species of rabbit is found at AGU Sumer Campus. Scientists decide to analyze the movement of that creature. After applying several lab tests, they understand its algorithm. That rabbit is moving t cm away when it jumps. Then, suddenly, it returns back k cm to jump again. You should help the scientists to calculate how many jumps are needed to go m cm apart from the initial position. Input Format Your program will take 3 integer values, t, k, and m, respectively.
