Chapter 1, Problem 8PP
Consider a robot that has been placed in a maze. The right-hand rule tells you how to escape from a maze: Always have the right hand next to a wall, and eventually you will find an exit. The robot can:
- Move forward by one unit.
- Turn left or right.
- Sense what is in front of it: a wall, an exit, or neither.

A number maze is an n × n grid of positive integers. A token starts in the upper left corner; your goal
is to move the token to the lower-right corner. On each turn, you are allowed to move the token up, down,
left, or right; the distance you may move the token is determined by the number on its current square. For
example, if the token is on a square labeled 3, then you may move the token three steps up, three steps
down, three steps left, or three steps right. However, you are never allowed to move the token off the edge
of the board.

A 5 × 5 maze that can be solved in eight moves
In this problem, you will design and analyze an efficient algorithm that either returns the minimum
number of moves required to solve a given number maze, or correctly reports that the maze has no solution.
Describe the solution to this problem at a high level, justify why it works, write down the pseudocode for
your algorithm…
A number maze is a k ×k grid of positive integers. A token starts in the upper left corner and your goal is to move the token to the lower-right corner. On each turn, you are allowed to move the token up, down, left, or right; the distance you may move the token is determined by the number on its current square. For example, if the token is on a square labeled 3, then you may move the token exactly three steps up, three steps down, three steps left, or three steps right. However, you are never allowed to move the token off the edge of the board. Design and analyze an algorithm that in O(k2) time determines if there is a way to move the token in the given number maze or not.
Need help in writing a backtracking code that finds a path in a given maze. The problem is that the given mazes do not have a given destination. The path exit is when you reach an edge square that is not the point of entry.Example:
1 1 1 1
0 0 0 1 0- represents the path that we're allowed to go
1 1 0 1 1- represents the wall
1 1 0 1 the last zero would be the exit.
The code has to be written in c++. If you cant write the code, please at least help me with the logics. Thank you so much !!!

Here is how it works: • First, it is randomly determined if the user starts the game or the computer and this information is shown to the user. The player who starts always starts as "X". • The players (computer and the user) will then take turns in playing. The computer will choose a random empty spot on its turn. The user enters its choice in the console. • Each of the empty spots have a corresponding number that the players choose on their turn. If the user enters anything other than the number of an empty spot (not yet filled with "X" or "O"), it will not be accepted, and they will be prompted to enter a correct number. 2 4 7 8 • After each turn, two things need to be done: 1) displaying the updated board 2) checking if anyone has won (it should be printed who has won – the user or the computer).

If you are not familiar with Peg Solitaire, then look it up online. Peg Solitaire is a game consisting of a playing board with 33 holes together with 32 pegs. In the picture above, the hole in the center is empty and the remaining holes contain pegs. The goal is to remove all the pieces except one, which should be in the center. A piece can be removed by jumping an adjacent piece over it into an empty hole. Jumps are permitted horizontally or vertically, but not diagonally. Your assignment consists of one required part, plus one extra credit part: 1. Explain (in words) why Breadth First Search and Iterative Deepening are not good methods for this problem.arrow_forward
- The two friend Alpha and Beta have invented a new game called Coins&Papers. The game is played with their coins and a strip of paper divided into cells. The cells are numbered from the left, starting from 1. Alpha and Beta put some coins at some random cells on the strip, each coin in a cell. They alternatively take their turn to play the game. At each step, a player must take a coin and move it to a cell to the left of it. There is at most one coin in a cell at any time of the game. Of course, a coin cannot jump over another coin. Whoever cannot move loses the game. Beta takes her turn first. Develop a python code to find out who wins the game, if Beta could win the game, show her a winning move. If there are several winning moves, show her the winning move that uses the leftmost possible coin. If there are still several moves, show her the move that moves the coin as far as possible to the left.

Additionally, it is equipped with a dual-pan balance. Utilization of the balance in each instance You may place any number of the 12 balls on the left pan and the same number on the right pan, and then press a button to begin weighing; there are three potential outcomes: the weights are equal, the balls on the left are heavier, or the balls on the left are lighter. Create a technique for determining which ball is the odd one out and whether it is heavier or lighter than the others using the balance in the fewest feasible instances. Solve the issue of weighing 39 balls, one of which is known to be odd.arrow_forward

As the ball rolls down, it strikes a spike and bursts open to release a number of smaller balls (in our simulated game, the number of smaller balls is a randomly generated integer between 2 and 6, inclusive). As the smaller balls further roll down, when one strikes a spike, that ball and all its sibling balls burst and each generates another set of smaller balls (using the same random number already generated for the first roll). The balls keep rolling downhill and striking spikes and bursting into smaller balls until a golden ball is released by one of the bursts. At this time, the game is over and the player is told how many balls were generated during the last burst (including the golden ball). The game is played by two players at a time and the player who had the lowest number of balls generated on the…arrow_forwardA fish-finder is a device used by anglers to find fish in a lake. If the fish-finder finds a fish, it will sound an alarm. It uses depth readings to determine whether to sound an alarm. For our purposes, the fish-finder will decide that a fish is swimming past if:there are four consecutive depth readings which form a strictly increasing sequence (such as 3 4 7 9) (which we will call "Fish Rising"), orthere are four consecutive depth readings which form a strictly decreasing sequence (such as 9 6 5 2) (which we will call "Fish Diving"), orthere are four consecutive depth readings which are identical (which we will call "Constant Depth").All other readings will be considered random noise or debris, which we will call "No Fish."Create a Python program called "fishfinder_firstname_lastname" that takes 1 input of string of 4 numbers separated with comma. Your program must display "Fish Rising", "Fish Diving.", "Fish At Constant Depth" or "No Fish".Example:30,10,20,20 Must display No…arrow_forward
- 1. Your objective is to guide a robot through a labyrinth. 1. Your objective is to guide a robot through a labyrinth. The robot begins at the maze's middle, looking north. You have the option of facing the robot north, east, south, or west. You may tell the robot to travel ahead a particular distance, but it will halt if it comes too close to a wall. i. Create a problem statement for this situation. What is the size of the state space? ii. The only location we need to turn while traversing a labyrinth is at the junction of two or more passageways. This remark may be used to reformulate the issue. What is the current size of the state space? iii. We may go in any of the four directions from any point in the labyrinth until we reach a turning point, and that is the only action we need to do. Using these steps, rephrase the issue. Is it necessary to maintain track of the robot's orientation at this point? iv.

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_forwardWrite a program that enables the robot, shown below in its starting position, to complete the maze, ending in the bottom right corner.
