Explanation of Solution

a.

State space diagram:

The state space of start state number 1 and the successor function for state ‘k’ returns two states, numbers 2k and 2k+1.

So, if the start state is 1, then it will have two states 2(1)=2 and 2(1)+1=3.

For each state, till 15 the corresponding states are obtained from the functions 2k and 2k+1...

Explanation of Solution

b.

Breadth first search:

The breadth first search begins from the root node, then examines the neighbouring nodes and travels to the next level neighbours.

Until the solution is found, the breadth first search creates one tree at a time.

Using the FIFO queue data form, the breadth first search algorithm can be applied. This approach provides the shortest path of the solution.

It expands the shallowest nodes first if the goal state is 11, the order in which the nodes will be visited for breadth first search is

1 →2→3→4→5→6→7→8→9→10→11

Depth limit search:

To prevent the infinite loop in depth first search, it is conducted with a fixed depth limit in depth dependent search technique.

The depth limit search checks for the solution up to a specified depth...

Explanation of Solution

c.

bidirectional search for the problem:

The idea of a bidirectional search is to reduce the search time by simultaneously searching forward from the beginning and back from the goal.

For the given problem, the bidirectional search would work because, the only successor for “n” in the reverse direction floor of (n/2).

Branching factor:

Consider that the breadth first search is done in both forward direction and backward direction, the search node will be as follows,

Consider the visited node as 1, then the forward fringe will be node {2,3}...

Explanation of Solution

yes”, the reformulation is the branching factor for moving forward is 2. And moving backward is 2...

Explanation of Solution

Explanation of algorithm for the problem and its solution:

The solution for the target number can be read off the binary number.

Write the binary target number.

Since the user can enter only positive integer numbers, these binary expansion being have a 1...

Consider the following expression in C: a/b > 0 && b/a > 0. What will be the result of evaluating this expression when a is zero? What will be the result when b is zero? Would it make sense to try to design a language in which this expression is guaranteed to evaluate to false when either a or b (but not both) is zero? Explain your answer.

Assume that a string of name & surname is saved in S. The alphabetical characters in S can be in lowercase and/or uppercase letters. Name and surname are assumed to be separated by a space character and the string ends with a full stop "." character. Write an assembly language program that will copy the name to NAME in lowercase and the surname to SNAME in uppercase letters. Assume that name and/or surname cannot exceed 20 characters. The program should be general and work with every possible string with name & surname. However, you can consider the data segment definition given below in your program. .DATA S DB 'Mahmoud Obaid." NAME DB 20 DUP(?) SNAME DB 20 DUP(?) Hint: Uppercase characters are ordered between 'A' (41H) and 'Z' (5AH) and lowercase characters are ordered between 'a' (61H) and 'z' (7AH) in the in the ASCII Code table. For lowercase letters, bit 5 (d5) of the ASCII code is 1 where for uppercase letters it is 0. For example, Letter 'h' Binary ASCII 01101000 68H 'H'…
