Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 2, Problem 16PS
Explanation of Solution
Opinion on the argument that languages are too complex are too dangerous to use:
The language should not be complex, but it should be simple and small because of the following reasons:
- A Complex language never gets popular with programmers.
- Programs written in complex language are less readable and understandable.
- So, any bug in the
program can be fixed by only proficient programmers of the language.
- So, any bug in the
- Programs not written by skilled programmers in complex languages can be dangerous in terms of logic and or resource utilizations and may also lead to fatal errors...

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'
Output: 6 ('ghnost' is the longest common subsequence to both strings)
Example 2:
Input: x = 'ahshku' and y = ‘asu'
Output: 3 ('asu' is the longest common subsequence to both strings)

The application must be realized with a combination of the following technologies: PHP MySQL HTML/CSS JavaScript, jQuery, etc templating The requirements are 2. Project size The application must have at least 18 SQL tables The number of SQL tables refers to the overall number of tables (including relation normalizations). 3.

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.
