Indentify and correct the errors in each of the following. [Note: There may be more than one error in each piece of code.]

a. To identify and correct the error in the given codes.
Explanation of Solution
The error is in the first line of the code. The “if” statement shouldn’t end with a semicolon.
The correction involves the removal of the statement terminator (;) at the end of the first line of code because if there will be semicolon the puts statements won’t get executed.
The correct code will be −
if(age>=65) puts("Age is greater than or equal to 65\n"); else puts("Age is less than 65\n");

b. To identify and correct the error in the given codes.
Explanation of Solution
There is as such no error with the syntax or logical of the given code segment.However, it is always recommended to initialize the variables with some initial values in order to avoid problem of garbage value. Therefore, the variable “total” should be initialized with 0.
The correct code
int x=1, total =0; while(x<=10) { total+=x; ++x; }

c. To identify and correct the error in the given codes.
Explanation of Solution
There are two errors in the given code.
The first correction involves the correction of name of the keyword while from “While” to “while”.
The second correction involves the enclosing the second and third statement withincurly braces.
So, the correct code will be as follows-
while(x<=100) { total+=x; ++x; }

d. To identify and correct the error in the given codes.
Explanation of Solution
The given code has the error in the while statement. The given statement is an infinite loop because y will keep on increasing (provided base value of y is positive) and will always be greater than 0.
The above problem can be solved by decrementing the y-value instead of incrementing.
The correct code will be as follows-
while(y>0) { printf("%d\n",y); --y; }

- I want to ask someone who has experiences in writing physics based simulation software. For context I am building a game engine, and want to implement physics simulation. There are a few approaches that I managed to find, but would like to know what are other approaches to doing physics simulation entry points from scenes, would you be able to visually draw me a few approaches (like 3 approaces)?When I say entry point to the actual physics simulation. An example of this is when the user presses the play button in the editor, it starts and initiates the physics system. Applying all of the global physics settings parameters that gets applied to that scene.Here is the use-case, I am looking for. If you have two scenes, and select scene 1. You press the play button. The physics simulation starts. When that physics simulation starts, you are also having to update the physics through some physics dedicated delta time because physics needs to happen faster update frequency.To elaborate, what…arrow_forwardMale comedians were typically the main/dominant star of television sitcoms made during the FCC licensing freeze.

The agent can move on the grid horizontally and vertically, one square at atime (each step has a cost of one). No step may be made into a forbidden crossed area. Inthe case of ties, break it using up, left, right, and down.(a) Draw the search tree in a greedy search. Manhattan distance should be used as theheuristic function. That is, h(n) for any node n is the Manhattan distance from nto G. The Manhattan distance between two points is the distance in the x-directionplus the distance in the y-direction. It corresponds to the distance traveled along citystreets arranged in a grid. For example, the Manhattan distance between G and S is4.
