The goal for this
The ants behave according to the following model:
- Move. Every time step, randomly try to move up, down, left, or right. If the neigh boring cell in the selected direction is occupied or would move the ant off the grid, then the ant stays in the current cell.
- Breed. If an ant survives for three time steps, then at the end of the time step (that is, after moving) the ant will breed. This is simulated by creating a new ant in an adjacent (up, down, left, or right) cell that is empty. If there is no empty cell available, then no breeding occurs. Once an offspring is produced, an ant cannot produce an offspring until three more time steps have elapsed.
The doodlebugs behave according to the following model:
- Move. Every time step, if there is an adjacent ant (up, down, left, or right), then the doodlebug will move to that cell and eat the ant. Otherwise, the doodlebug moves according to the same rules as the ant. Note that a doodlebug cannot eat other doodlebugs.
- Breed. If a doodlebug survives for eight time steps, then at the end of the time step it will spawn off a new doodlebug in the same manner as the ant.
- Starve. If a doodlebug has not eaten an ant within the last three time steps, then at the end of the third time step it will starve and die. The doodlebug should then be removed from the grid of cells.
During one turn, all the doodlebugs should move before the ants do. Write a program to implement this simulation and draw the world using ASCII characters of “o“ for an ant and “X“ for a doodlebug. Create a class named Organism that encapsulates basic data common to both ants and doodlebugs. This class should have a virtual function named move that is defined in the derived classes of Ant and Doodlebug. You may need additional data structures to keep track of which critters have moved. Initialize the world with 5 doodlebugs and 100 ants. After each time step, prompt the user to press Enter to move to the next time step. You should see a cyclical pattern between the population of predators and prey, although random perturbations may lead to the elimination of one or both species.

Design a dynamic programming algorithm for the Longest Alternating Subsequence problem
described below:
Input: A sequence of n integers
Output: The length of the longest subsequence where the numbers alternate between being larger and
smaller than their predecessor
The algorithm must take O(n²) time. You must also write and explain the recurrence.
Example 1:
Input: [3, 5, 4, 1, 3, 6, 5, 7, 3, 4]
Output: 8 ([3, 5, 4, 6, 5, 7, 3, 4])
Example 2:
Input: [4,7,2,5,8, 3, 8, 0, 4, 7, 8]
Output: 8 ([4, 7, 2, 5, 3, 8, 0,4])
(Take your time with this for the subproblem for this one)
Design a dynamic programming algorithm for the Coin-change problem described below:
Input: An amount of money C and a set of n possible coin values with an unlimited supply of each
kind of coin.
Output: The smallest number of coins that add up to C exactly, or output that no such set exists.
The algorithm must take O(n C) time. You must also write and explain the recurrence.
Example 1:
Input: C24, Coin values = = [1, 5, 10, 25, 50]
Output: 6 (since 24 = 10+ 10+1+1 +1 + 1)
Example 2:
Input: C = 86, Coin values = [1, 5, 6, 23, 35, 46, 50]
Output: 2 (since 86 = 46+35+5)
Design a dynamic programming algorithm for the Longest Common Subsequence problem de-
scribed below
Input: Two strings x = x1x2 xm and y = Y1Y2... Yn
Output: The length of the longest subsequence that is common to both x and y.
.
The algorithm must take O(m n) time. You must also write and explain the recurrence.
(I want the largest k such that there are 1 ≤ i₁ < ... < ik ≤ m and 1 ≤ j₁ < ... < jk ≤ n such that
Xi₁ Xi2 Xik = Yj1Yj2 ··· Yjk)
Example 1:
Input: x = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrst' and y = 'ygrhnodsh ftw'

In other words, you will program the sine or cosine function yourself, without using any existing solution. You can enter the angles in degrees or radians. The program must work for any input, e.g. -4500° or +8649°. The function will have two arguments: float sinus(float radians, float epsilon); For your own implementation, use one of the following relations (you only need to program either sine or cosine, you don't need both): Tip 1: Of course, you cannot calculate the sum of an infinite series indefinitely. You can see (if not, look in the program) that the terms keep getting smaller, so there will definitely be a situation where adding another term will not change the result in any way (see problem 1.3 – machine epsilon). However, you can end the calculation even earlier – when the result changes by less than epsilon (a pre-specified, sufficiently small number, e.g.…arrow_forwardWrite a C program that counts the number of ones (set bits) in the binary representation of a given number.
