You are the chief commander of US Army; you have been deployed in an ongoing war training of defusing the mine. Mines are placed on the ground which can be considered as a gird of size N*M. Each block (i, j) has a mine in it if and only if the summation of the block coordinates is divisible by 2. Your task is to move from the first row to the last row. The mines will not blow if the given rules are followed:
• If you are on even row you can move to any cell that is in the neighborhood
• If you are on odd row, you can only go the odd row that has mine on that and same with the unmined row.
You have to develop a python program to calculate the number of ways to reach row number N starting from row number 1.

Imagine there are N teams competing in a tournament, and that each team plays each of the other teams once. If a tournament were to take place, it should be demonstrated (using an example) that every team would lose to at least one other team in the tournament.
The puzzle called the Towers of Hanoi consists of three pegs, one of which contains several rings stacked in order of descending diameter from bottom to top.
The problem is to move the stack of rings to another peg. You are allowed to move only one ring at a time, and at no time is a ring to be placed on top of a smaller one. Observe that if the puzzle involved only one ring, it would be extremely easy.
Moreover, when faced with the problem of moving several rings, if you could move all but the largest ring to another peg, the largest ring could then be placed on the third peg, and then the problem would be to move the remaining rings on top of it.
Using this observation, develop a recursive algorithm for solving the Towers of Hanoi puzzle for an arbitrary number of rings.

- Problem Alice was given a number line containing every positive integer, x, where 1<=x<=n. She was also given m line segments, each having a left endpoint, l (1<=l<=n), a right endpoint, r (1<=r<=n), and an integer weight, w. Her task is to cover all numbers on the given number line using a subset of the line segments, such that the maximum weight among all the line segments in the chosen subset is minimal. In other words, let S=(l1,r1,w1),(l2,r2,w2),....,(lk,rk,wk), represent a set of k line segments chosen by Alice, max(w1,w2,...,wk) should be minimized. All numbers 1,2,....n should be covered by at least one of k the chosen line segments. It is okay for the chosen line segments to overlap. You program should output the minimized maximum weight in the chosen subset that covers all the numbers on the number line, or -1 if it is not possible to cover the number line. Input format The first line of the input contains an integer, n - denoting the range of numbers…arrow_forwardIn computer science and mathematics, the Josephus Problem (or Josephus permutation) is a theoretical problem. Following is the problem statement: There are n people standing in a circle waiting to be executed. The counting out begins at some point (rear) in the circle and proceeds around the circle in a fixed direction. In each step, a certain number (k) of people are skipped and the next person is executed. The elimination proceeds around the circle (which is becoming smaller and smaller as the executed people are removed), until only the last person remains, who is given freedom. Given the total number of persons n and a number k which indicates that k-1 persons are skipped and kth person is killed in circle. The task is to choose the place in the initial circle so that you are the last one remaining and so survive. For example, 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…arrow_forwardCorrect answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Computer science. Positive integer x is called divisor of positive integer y, in case y is distinguishable by x without remaining portion. For instance, 1 is a divisor of 7 and 3 isn't divisor of 8. We gave you an integer d and requested that you track down the littlest positive integer a, to such an extent that a has no less than 4 divisors; contrast between any two divisors of an is essentially d. Input The primary line contains a solitary integer t (1≤t≤3000) — the number of experiments. The primary line of each experiment contains a solitary integer d (1≤d≤10000). Output For each experiment print one integer a — the response for this experiment.arrow_forward
- This problem is taken from the delightful book "Problems for Mathematicians, Young and Old" by Paul R. Halmos. Suppose that 931 tennis players want to play an elimination tournament. That means: they pair up, at random, for each round; if the number of players before the round begins is odd, one of them, chosen at random, sits out that round. The winners of each round, and the odd one who sat it out (if there was an odd one), play in the next round, till, finally, there is only one winner, the champion. What is the total number of matches to be played altogether, in all the rounds of the tournament? Your answer: Hint: This is much simpler than you think. When you see the answer you will say "of course".arrow_forwardCorrect answer will be upvoted else Multiple Downvoted. Computer science. You are given an arrangement an of length n comprising of integers from 1 to n. The grouping may contain duplicates (for example a few components can be equal). Track down the number of tuples of m=3 components with the end goal that the maximum number in the tuple varies from the base by close to k=2. Formally, you want to view as the number of triples of lists i<j<z with the end goal that max(ai,aj,az)−min(ai,aj,az)≤2. For example, on the off chance that n=4 and a=[1,2,4,3], there are two such triples (i=1,j=2,z=4 and i=2,j=3,z=4). In the event that n=4 and a=[1,1,1,1], all four potential triples are suitable. Input The principal line contains a solitary integer t (1≤t≤2⋅105) — the number of experiments. Then, at that point, t experiments follow. The principal line of each experiment contains an integer n (1≤n≤2⋅105) — the length of the succession a. The following line contains n…arrow_forwardIn a company, there are several branches. Let us consider a branch of that company having N employees, if the manager is allotted to that branch(s) then he is known to everyone else in that branch. Note that the property of "known to everyone" is unique to a manager. Your task is to find the manager in that branch. Input from the user in main (), the square matrix M where if an element of row i and column j is set to 1 it means that ith person knows jth person. You need to write a function managerId () which returns the id of the manager if present or else returns -1. The function managerId () takes two arguments - the square matrix of N *N and its size N. Call managerId () from the main () output the information about the manager. Assume all diagonal elements to be 1 (as everyone knows him/herself) and there is at most one manager in the company.arrow_forward
- The moment (torque) of a force is given by M =F-d-sin(0), where M is the moment, F is the force, and d is the distance between line of action of the force to the pivot, and 0 is the angle between the force and the arm. Both Fand d can be any row vectors. Use F = [50 75 90 120] and d = [3 5 8] in your work to compute the moments M. Given 0 = 45°. Show your Matlab commands. You don't need to calculate the moments.arrow_forwardSudoku is a popular logic puzzle that uses a 9 by 9 array of squares that are organized into 3 by 3 subarrays. The puzzle solver must fill in the squares with the digits 1 to 9 such that no digit is repeated in any row, any column, or any of the nine 3 by 3 subgroups of squares. Initially, some squares are filled in already and cannot be changed. For example, the following might be a starting configuration for a Sudoku puzzle: Create a class SudokuPuzzle.java Download SudokuPuzzle.java that has the attributes • board—a 9 by 9 array of integers that represents the current state of the puzzle, where 0 indicates a blank square • start—a 9 by 9 array of boolean values that indicates which squares in board are given values that cannot be changed and the following methods: • SudokuPuzzle—a constructor that creates an empty puzzle • toString—returns a string representation of the puzzle that can be printed • addInitial(row, col, value)—sets the given square to the given value as an…arrow_forwardThere are n students who studied at a late-night study for final exam.
