A high school 1000 students and 1000 lockers. The principal plays the following game: She asks dthe first student to open all the lockers. Shen then asks the second student to close all the even-numbered lockers. The third student is asked to check every third locker. If it is open, the student closes it; if it is closed, the student opens it. The remaining students continue this game . In general, the nth student checks every nth locker. If the locker is open, the student closes it; if it is closed, the student opens it. After all the students have taken their turns, some of the lockers are open and some are closed. Write a program thatprompts the user to enter the number of lockers in a school. After the game is over, the program outputs the number of lockers and the locker numbers of the lockers that are open. Test run your program for the following inputs: 1000, 5000, 10,000. Do you see any pattern developing for the locker numbers that are open in the output?…
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.…

- Email me the answers to the following questions. If you are not familiar with Peg Solitaire, then look it up online. Peg Solitaire is a game consisting of a playing board with 33 holes together with 32 pegs. In the picture above, the hole in the center is empty and the remaining holes contain pegs. The goal is to remove all the pieces except one, which should be in the center. A piece can be removed by jumping an adjacent piece over it into an empty hole. Jumps are permitted horizontally or vertically, but not diagonally. Your assignment consists of one required part, plus one extra credit part: 1. Explain (in words) why Breadth First Search and Iterative Deepening are not good methods for this problem.arrow_forwardA fish-finder is a device used by anglers to find fish in a lake. If the fish-finder finds a fish, it will sound an alarm. It uses depth readings to determine whether to sound an alarm. For our purposes, the fish-finder will decide that a fish is swimming past if:there are four consecutive depth readings which form a strictly increasing sequence (such as 3 4 7 9) (which we will call "Fish Rising"), orthere are four consecutive depth readings which form a strictly decreasing sequence (such as 9 6 5 2) (which we will call "Fish Diving"), orthere are four consecutive depth readings which are identical (which we will call "Constant Depth").All other readings will be considered random noise or debris, which we will call "No Fish."Create a Python program called "fishfinder_firstname_lastname" that takes 1 input of string of 4 numbers separated with comma. Your program must display "Fish Rising", "Fish Diving.", "Fish At Constant Depth" or "No Fish".Example:30,10,20,20 Must display No…arrow_forwardA Rajesh teaches a cooking class. The course is attended by NN students, numbered 11 to NN. The cook must participate in the presence before each class, i.e. call out the names of the students one by one and indicate which students are present. Each student has a first and last name. To save time, Rajesh only wants to call up students' first names. However, if there are multiple students with the same first name, the Rajesh must call out the full names (first and last names) of all those students. For any student who does not share a first name with any other student, the cook can still only call that student's first name. Help the Rajesh decide for each student whether to call that student's full name or just their first name. Note: Please Answer in java language only. Input 1 1 hasan jaddouh Output hasanarrow_forward
- There are three boxes. One is labeled "APPLES" another is labeled "ORANGES". The last one is labeled "APPLES AND ORANGES". You know that each is labeled incorrectly. You may ask me to pick one fruit from one box which you choose. How can you label the boxes correctly? Select one: Pick from the one labeled "Oranges" b. Pick from the one labeled "Apples" Pick from the one labeled "Apples & Oranges" a. C.arrow_forwardSuppose that you are given an n × n checkerboard and a checker. You must move the checker from the bottom edge of the board to the top edge of the board according to the following rule. At each step you may move the checker to one of three squares: 1. the square immediately above 2. the square that is one up and one to the left (but only if the checker if not already in the leftmost column) 3. the square that is one up and one to the right (but only if the checker is not already in the rightmost column). 1 Each time you move from square x to square y, you receive p(x, y) dollars. You are given p(x, y) for all pairs (x, y) for which a move from x to y is legal. Do not assume that p(x, y) is positive. design a recursive backtracking algorithm that determines the maximum amount of money you can recieve, when moving a checker frmo somewhere on the bottom row to somewhere on the top row. your algorithm is free to pick any squrre along the bottom row as a starting point and any square along…arrow_forwardInstallation 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.

- You have a maze with obstacles and non-zero digits in it: 9+ 7 8 + 4 1 2 3 4 5 You can start from any square, walk in the maze, and finally stop at some square. Each step, you may only walk into one of the four neighbouring squares (up, down, left, right) and you cannot walk into obstacles or walk into a square more than once. When you finish, you can get a number by writing down the digits you encounter in the same order as you meet them. For example, you can get numbers 9784, 4832145, etc. The biggest number you can get is 791452384, shown in the picture above. Your task is to find the biggest mumber you can get. Input There will be at most 25 test cases. Each test begins with two integers R and C (2 < R,C < 15, R+C < 30), the number of rows and columns of the maze. The next R rows represent the maze. Each line contains exactly C characters (without leading or trailing spaces), each of them will be either # or one of the nine non-zero digits. There will be at least one non-obstacle…arrow_forwardIn cpp Room contains nx n cubes (in rows and in columns). Each cube is white or black. You can get out of a white cube by going in one of the four directions horizontally or vertically (but you can't go outside the room). You can enter a black cube, but you can't exit it. There is a mouse and a piece of cheese in the room. The mouse is in a cube (0,0) - white, and the cheese in a cube (n-1, n-1) - black. The mouse can move from cube to cube according to the rules described above. Write a program that finds all the ways in which the mouse can move to the cheese, and if any, display it with ‘*’.arrow_forwardIn a Chess match "a + b", each player has a clock which shows a minutes at the start and whenever a player makes a move, b seconds are added to this player's clock. Time on a player's clock decreases during that player's turns and remains unchanged during the other player's turns. If the time on some player's clock hits zero (but not only in this case), this player loses the game. N+1 There's a 3 + 2 blitz chess match. After N turns (i.e. moves made by 2 N white and moves made by black), the game ends and the clocks of the two 2 players stop; they show that the players (white and black) have A and B seconds left respectively. Note that after the N-th turn, b = 2 seconds are still added to the clock of the player that made the last move and then the game ends. Find the total duration of the game, i.e. the number of seconds that have elapsed from the start of the game until the end.arrow_forward
