Write an algorithm that reads 10 integer numbers and calculates the average for numbers that are divisible by 5.
The Babylonian algorithm to compute the square root of a positive number n is asfollows:1. Make a guess at the answer (you can pick n/2 as your initial guess).2. Compute r = n / guess3. Set guess = (guess +r)/ 24. Go back to step 2 for as many iterations as necessary. The more you repeat steps2 and 3, the closer guess will become to the square root of n.
Write a program that inputs a double for n, iterates through the Babylonian algo-rithm five times, and outputs the answer as a double to two decimal places. Your
answer will be most accurate for small values of n.
Write a program that calculates the equivalent resistance of a circuit. n electrical resistors with
resistance values R1, R2,.., Rn are said to be connected in parallel if the same voltage is applied
across each. Their equivalent resistance Reg is related to the values R1, R2, ...,
Rn by:

Write a program that prompts the user to enter the resistance of n resistors. The user should
be prompted continuously by using a while loop until a zero or negative value is entered (the
program should count the number of resistors n entered by the user and store the values in an
array). Use another separate loop to print the resistance values entered by the user and the
equivalent resistance Reg. Test your program with R1= 1 kn, R2= 2 kn, R3= 4 kQ and R4= 8 kQ.

The problem is to pick objects from a set of objects repeatedly and determine how many picks are needed for all the objects to be picked at least once. A variation of the problem is to pick cards from a shuffled deck of 52 cards repeatedly and find out how many picks are needed before you see one of each suit. Assume a picked card is placed back in the deck before picking another. Write a program to simulate the number of picks needed to get four cards from each suit and display the four cards picked (it is possible that a card may be picked twice).arrow_forward
