Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3MQ6
Program Plan Intro
ToString Method:
The method ToString() is used to convert the number to string. All the numeric data types use ToString() method for this conversion. This method allows the user to format the value such as specifying the decimal places and adding special characters to the string which is to be displayed.
The ToString() methods formats the copy of value present in the numeric variable and then returns the result as string value.
Syntax:
numericVariableName.ToString(formatString)
- The numericVariableName is the variable name.
- The parameter formatString is used to format the variable’s value.
- The formatString string should be in the form of “Axx”.
- “A” represents the build format specifier and “xx” specifies the precision of the digits.
- The format specifier can be in upper case letter or lower case letter.
- The formatString string should be in the form of “Axx”.
The following table represents the list of format specifiers available in visual basic:
| Format specifier | Description |
| C or c (Currency) | It displays the string with dollar sign and included with a thousand separators. Negative values enclosed with parentheses. |
| N or n (Number) | It displays the string with a thousand separators but not include a dollar sign. Negative values preceded by minus sign. |
|
F or f (Fixed-point) | It displays the string without thousand separator and dollar sign. Negative values preceded by minus sign. |
| P or p (Percent) | It multiplies the number by 100 and displays the result with percentage sign and negative values preceded by minus sign. |

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)

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.
