Chapter 3, Problem 7PC
The Upper West View Yacht club sponsors sailboat races every weekend for its fleet of SuperGee sailboats, and wants to determine which boat is the winner out of every four races. The scoring system is simple: a boat finishing in first position (first place) receives 1 point; a boat in second place receives 2 points, and so on. At the end of four races, the boats are ranked in ascending order by number of points, so the boats with the lowest points win.
Your task is to write an application that lets the user input the finishing position for each of three boats for four races. The program will then display the total points for each boat. Here are some specific requirements:
- Validate all text boxes to make sure the user enters integer values.
- Use a StatusStrip with a label to display an error message. When the user corrects an error and clicks the Calculate button again, clear any existing error message.
- Set TabIndex properties so that the focus will move between input fields in a logical manner.
- Do not allow the user to maximize or resize the form.
Figure 3-62 shows a sample of the program as the user is entering all valid values. In any single race, no place value should appear twice, although you currently do not have the

Four in a row is a game in which players take turns adding tokens to the columns on the game board.
Tokens fall to the lowest position in the chosen column that does not already have a token in it. Once one of the players has placed four of their tokens in a straight line (either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally), they win the game
If the board is full and no player has won, then the game ends in a draw.
TASK
Using the following class descriptions, create a UML diagram and a version of Four in a row game
The game must allow for a minimum of two and maximum of four players
The game must allow each player to enter their name(duplicate names should not be accepted)
The game should give the players the ability to choose how many rows (between four and ten), and how many columns (between four and ten) the game board should have.
The code uses several classes, including "Player", "Board","Game" and exceptions for handling errors such as invalid moves and full columns.…
VBA - EXCEL
Engine – optional – this indicates the solving method that needs to be used to get to a solution. 1 for the Simplex LP method, 2 for the GRG Nonlinear method, or 3 for the Evolutionary method. This corresponds to the Select a Solving Method dropdown list in the Solver Parameters dialog box
EngineDesc – optional -this is an alternate way of selecting the solving method – here you would type the strings “Simplex LP”, “GRG Nonlinear” or “Evolutionary”. This also corresponds to the Select a Solving Method dropdown list in the Solver Parameters dialog box
What happens when the code demonstrates:
Engine:=1, EngineDesc:="GRG Nonlinear" ?

- Installation of a Shopee Billboard Max. score: 100 You are installing a billboard and want it to be at the maximum height. The billboard will have two steel supports, one on each side. The height of each steel bracket must be equal. You have a number of rebar rods that can be welded together. For example, if the bars are of length 1, 2, and 3, they can be welded together to form a length of 6 brackets. Return the maximum possible installation height of the billboard. Return 0 if the billboard cannot be installed.arrow_forwardRoad Trip Programming challenge description: You've decided to make a road trip across the country in a straight line. You have chosen the direction you'd like to travel and made a list of cities in that direction that have gas stations to stop at and fill up your tank. To make sure that this route is viable, you need to know the distances between the adjacent cities in order to be able to travel this distance on a single tank of gasoline, (No one likes running out of gas.) but you only know distances to each city from your starting point. Input: Your program should read lines from standard input. Each line contains the list of cities and distances to them, comma delimited, from the starting point of your trip. You start your trip at point 0. The cities with their distances are separated by semicolon. Output: Print out the distance from the starting point to the nearest city, and the distances between two nearest cities separated by comma, in order they appear on the route.

- GreenLawn a local lawn care company has different pricing policies for its customers. GreenLawn sends out monthly invoices and will give discounts if payments are made within 5 days. The discounting policy is as follow: If the amount of the monthly bill is greater than $300, subtract 4 percent from the invoice; if the amount is between $300 and $100, subtract a 2-percent discount; if the amount is less than $100, do not apply any discount. All bills made via the web automatically receive an extra 3-percent discount. Develop a decision for GreenLawn discounting decisions.

Each player’s goal is to get 100 points rolled on a normal six-sided die first. Each turn consists of the rolling the die repeatedly until you get a 1 or decide to stop. As long as you roll a 2-6, you will add this amount to your total for that turn. But if you roll a 1 during your turn, your turn ends and you receive zero points for that entire turn (erasing all of the progress you made since you last agreed to stop). If you decide to stop rolling at any point in your turn, your points for that turn are then added to the overall score. The overall score is then safe from future rolls. The trick is knowing how long to push it before we should stop and save our gains. See end of this document for an example of a game of pig we should write coding as below In order to explore what is the best strategy for the computer player (i.e. at what score do we stop each computer…arrow_forward

Its rates vary, depending on the type of service. The rates are computed as follows: Regular service: $10.00 plus first 50 minutes are free. Charges for over 50 minutes are $0.20 per minutes. Premium service: $25 plus For calls made from 6:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m., the first 75 minutes are free; charges for more than 75 minutes are $0.10 per minute. For, calls made from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., the first 100 minutes are free; charges for more than 100 minutes are $0.05 per minute.

Because Reza frequently mistypes long ticket numbers, Reza Enterprises has asked his students to write an application that shows if a ticket is invalid. Your application/program tellsthe ticket agent to enter a six-digit ticket number. Ticket numbers are designed so that if you lose the last digit of the number, then divide by 7, the remainder of the division is exactly the same to the last dropped digit. This process is shown below: Step 1: Enter the ticket number; for example 123454 Step 2: Remove the last digit, leaving 12345 Step 3: Determine the remainder when the ticket number from step 2 is divided by 7. In this case, 12345 divided by 7 leaves a remainder of 4. Step 4: Display a message to the ticket agent indicating whether the ticket number is valid or not..

- Nim is a two-player game played with several piles of stones. You can use as many piles and as many stones in each pile as you want, but in order to better understand the game, we'll start off with just a few small piles of stones (see figure 1 below). Pile 1 Pile 1 Pile 2 The two players take turns removing stones from the game. On each turn, the player removing stones can only take stones from one pile, but they can remove as many stones from that pile as they want (please note, a player must remove atleast 1 stone from a pile during his/her turn). If they want, they can even remove the entire pile from the game! The winner is the player who removes the final stone (avoid taking the last stone - see figure 2 below). Pile 2 Pile 3 Pile 3 Let's say its Max (player 1) turn to play. Then Max can win by simply removing a stone from Pile 2 or Pile 3 Draw a game tree (upto depth level 2) for the given version of the Nim game.

If you are curious about all the choices, you can read up more on them here. Also, if you need a refresher on if statements, go here. Step 1 - Reading the code First take a look at the provided code. You should change the comments to include your name at the top of the file. Furthermore, you will notice all the functions are ‘stubbed’ out for you.
