Your first task will be to write a simple movement simulator on a snakes and ladders board. For this questionyou can ignore the snakes and ladders and just simply assume you only have to deal with moving. You willneed to simulate rolling the die - this can be done by using the Python random module and the randint method.Your function play_game will take as input the length of the board (an integer), "play" the game by rolling the diemultiple times until the sum of rolls is larger or equal to the length of the board. (note: this is one of the possibleand simplest end rules). The function should return the total number of rolls required to finish the the particulargame that was played. Obviously this number will vary as it depends on the specific random rolls performedduring the movement simulation.
The Research team led by Bernadette Wolowitz at Cal-tech University has discovered a new Amoeba that grows in the order of a Fibonacci series every month. They are exhibiting this amoeba in a national. conference. They want to know the size of the amoeba at a particular time instant. If a particular month's index is given, write a program to display the amoeba's size. For Example, the size of the amoeba on month 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,... will be 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8.... respectively.

- A thermometer is removed from a room where the temperature is 70° F and is taken outside, where the air temperature is 10° F. After one-half minute the thermometer reads 57° F. What is the reading of the thermometer at t = 1 min? Assume that the rate of change of temperature in time is proportional to the difference between the thermometer's temperature and the air temperature. Type your answer in °F in the space provided below. Round your answer to two decimal places.arrow_forwardA supermarket is doing a sales promotion for soft drinks. If one day you buy soft drinks and bring the empty bottles the next day, they exchange each set of K empty bottles for a full one. A customer wants to make the most of this offer and therefore bought several bottles on the first day of the promotion. Now he wants to know how many bottles he will have at the end of the second day of the promotion if he use it to the fullest. Make a program to calculate this. Input The first input line contains integer T (1 ≤ T ≤ 10000), which indicates the number of test cases. In each of the following T lines come two integers N and K (1 ≤ K, N ≤ 10000), respectively the number of soft drinks bought and the number of empty bottles to gain a full. Output For each test case print the number of bottles that the customer will have on the second day, if he makes the most of the offer.arrow_forwardWelcome to the era of Aladdin and the great magic lamp. This is 1st of January and Aladdin will be in jail for one year. He was recently caught for helping forty thieves. Now he has nothing to do. But he knows that Jasmine is waiting for him. At some point he got an idea to give Jasmine a magical program that can find intervals of months from a year. This allows her to easily determine how long it will take for Aladdin to get out. Then Aladdin rubs the magic lamp and The Genie appears. Then he asked The Genie to make such a magical program. Unfortunately the Genie doesn't know programming and he wants your help to create that magical program. Genie will give you N as the day of the year and you have to print in which month that day is. Input Format Input will contain one line with a single integer N, day of the year. Constraints 1 <= N <= 365 Output Format Print a single line containing the name of month.

- Python question please include all steps and screenshot of code. Also please provide a docstring, and comments throughout the code, and test the given examples below. Thanks. Implement function heads() that takes no input and simulates a sequence of coin flips.The simulation should continue as long as 'HEAD' is flipped. When the outcome of a flipis 'TAIL', the function should return the number of 'HEAD' flips made up to that point.For example, if the simulation results in outcomes 'HEAD', 'HEAD', 'HEAD', 'TAIL', thefunction should return 3. NOTE: Recall that random.choice(['HEAD', 'TAIL']) returns'HEAD' or 'TAIL' with equal probability.>>> heads()0 # TAIL is the outcome of the first coin flip>>> heads()2 # The coin flips were HEAD, HEAD, TAIL>>> heads()1 # The coin flips were HEAD, TAIL>>> heads()5 # The coin flips were HEAD, HEAD, HEAD, HEAD, HEAD, TAILarrow_forwardhi! i am a newbie in python. please help me on this problem. also, please send a screenshot for a proof that the codes works. thanks~arrow_forwardThe ideal gas law calculates the volume of a gas given the pressure (P), quantity of gas (n), and temperature (T). V = nRT / P is the equation.Due to the fact that we have solely employed integer arithmetic, all numbers will be integer values with no decimal points. R is a constant that will be given as (8314/1000). This produces the same outcome. Provide a gas law software in which the user is requested for and inputs values for n, T, and P, and V is computed and reported. Take care to use the most up-to-date version of this software. Your application should feature an appropriate and functional input prompt, as well as print the results in a sensible way.arrow_forward
- Develop a solution that will calculate the average temperature, given a set of temperatures. The number of temperatures may differ from time to time. (Use a trip values to stop the processing of the loop.) Test the solution with the following 10 temperatures. 78 90 85 80 87 83 75 90 86 70arrow_forwardUse Python & Don't use any python Library. You can use Random.randint() only. 3. Suppose you have been hired to develop a musical chair game. In this game there will be 7 participants and all of them will be moving clockwise around a set of 7 chairs organized in a circular manner while music will be played in the background. You will control the music using random numbers between 0-3.lf the generated random number is 1, you will stop the music and if the number of participants who are still in the game is n, the participants at position (n/2) will be eliminated. Each time a participant is eliminated, a chair will be removed and you have to print the player names who are still in the game. The game will end when there will be only one participant left. At the end of the game, display the name of the winner. [Hint: You will need to invoke a built-in method to generate a random number between 0 (inclusive) to 3 (inclusive)]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
