Chapter 3, Problem 13R

Explanation of Solution

Difference between “shallow equality” and “deep equality” tests:

Shallow equality testDeep equality test
It compares the references for equality. That is, checking the memory address is same for both objects “a” and “b”.It compares for objects equivalence. That is, checking two objects “a” and “b” are logically equal.
It compares by using the “==”.It compares using the “equals()” method.

For one-dimensional array:

Shallow equality test for one-dimensional arrayDeep equality test for one-dimensional array
It compares the immediate contents of two array objects to determine whether the two array values are equal.It compares the contents of two array objects repeatedly until all primitive fields are equal.

For example:

int[] a = {1};

int[] b = {1};

for(int i = 0; i <a.length ; i++)

{

if(a[i] == b[i])

return true;

}

For example:

int[] a = {1, 2, 3};

int[] b = {1, 2, 3};

if(Arrays.equals(a, b))

return true;

Explanation:

“==” helps to compare the immediate content of “a” and “b” array and then return true.

Explanation:

“equals()” method helps to compare the content of “a” and “b” array repeatedly to compare all primitive fields and then return true.

For two-dimensional array:

It compares the immediate contents of two array objects to determine whether the two array values are equal...

I want in c++ code and output. Detail answer only. Else you will get multiple downvote.   The world you live in is a goliath 109×109 lattice, with squares having the two directions somewhere in the range of 1 and 109. You realize that the adversary base has the state of a square shape, with the sides corresponding to the sides of the matrix. Individuals of your reality are incredibly frightened of being at the edge of the world, so you realize that the base doesn't contain any of the squares on the edges of the network (the x or y organize being 1 or 109). To assist you with finding the base, you have been given a gadget that you can put in any square of the network, and it will let you know the manhattan distance to the nearest square of the base. The manhattan distance from square (a,b) to square (p,q) is determined as |a−p|+|b−q|. In the event that you attempt to put the gadget inside the foe base, you will be caught by the foe. Along these lines, you need to make a point to never…
