Program Plan Intro

Components of computer:

Computer has four major components, they are:

  • Central processing unit (CPU)
  • Memory unit
  • Input devices
  • Output devices

Central Processing Unit (CPU):

  • CPU plays the key role in a computer by carrying out instructions of a computer program.
  • It performs all the basic logic, arithmetic, controlling and input/output operations that are specified by the instructions.
  • The CPU comprises of two units, Arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and control unit (CU).

Memory unit:

  • Once computer program instructions set are transformed into machine code by CPU, the machine code is stored in memory.
  • Then the CPU fetches the required data and instructions from memory, perform the required operations and then sends the result and next set of instructions back to memory.

Input devices:

  • The devices used by the user to feed information to computer, such as a hard drive, keyboard, or a networking card.
  • These devices get the data from outside world into computer in the way that human eyes and ears bring the data to brain.

Output devices:

  • Output devices are used by computer to deliver the information to the user, such as a monitor, printer, and speaker.
  • The CPU takes the machine code present in memory and converts it into a format that is required by monitor’s hardware.
  • Then the monitor’s hardware alters that information into different light intensities such that words or pictures are seen.

2. Consider the following pseudocode for partition: function partition (A,L,R) pivotkey = A [R] t = L for i L to R-1 inclusive: if A[i] A[i] t = t + 1 end if end for A [t] A[R] return t end function Suppose we call partition (A,0,5) on A=[10,1,9,2,8,5]. Show the state of the list at the indicated instances. Initial A After i=0 ends After 1 ends After i 2 ends After i = 3 ends After i = 4 ends After final swap 10 19 285 [12 pts]
.NET Interactive Solving Sudoku using Grover's Algorithm We will now solve a simple problem using Grover's algorithm, for which we do not necessarily know the solution beforehand. Our problem is a 2x2 binary sudoku, which in our case has two simple rules: •No column may contain the same value twice •No row may contain the same value twice If we assign each square in our sudoku to a variable like so: 1 V V₁ V3 V2 we want our circuit to output a solution to this sudoku. Note that, while this approach of using Grover's algorithm to solve this problem is not practical (you can probably find the solution in your head!), the purpose of this example is to demonstrate the conversion of classical decision problems into oracles for Grover's algorithm. Turning the Problem into a Circuit We want to create an oracle that will help us solve this problem, and we will start by creating a circuit that identifies a correct solution, we simply need to create a classical function on a quantum circuit that…
