Chapter 4, Problem 11PP
You are a contestant on a game show and have won a shot at the grand prize. Before you are three doors. $1,000,000 in cash has randomly been placed behind one door. Behind the other two doors are the consolation prizes of dishwasher detergent. The game show host asks you to select a door, and you randomly pick one. However, before revealing the prize behind your door, the game show host reveals one of the other doors that contains a consolation prize. At this point, the game show host asks if you would like to stick with your original choice or to switch to the remaining door.
Write a function to simulate the game show problem. Your function should randomly select locations for the prizes, select a door at random chosen by the contestant, and then determine whether the contestant would win or lose by sticking with the original choice or switching to the remaining door. You may wish to create additional functions invoked by this function.

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.…

- Who Wants to Be a Millonalre? You are a contestant on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" You already have answered the $250,000 question correctly and now must decide if you would like to answer the $500,000 question. You can choose to walk away at this point with $250,000 in winnings or you may decide to answer the S500,000 question. If you answer the $500,000 question correctly, you can then choose to walk away with $500,000 in winnings or go on and try to answer the $1,000,000 question. If you answer the $1,000,000 question correctly, the game is over and you win $1,000,000. If you answer either the $500,000 or the $1,000,000 question incorrectly, the game is over immediately and you take home "only" $32,000. A feature of the game "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" is that you have three "lifelines"-namely "50-50," "ask the audience," and "phone a friend."

Computer science. After painting the white cells of the board, you want to place the maximum number of dominoes on it, according to the following rules: each domino covers two adjacent cells; each cell is covered by at most one domino; if a domino is placed horizontally (it covers two adjacent cells in one of the rows), it should cover only red cells; if a domino is placed vertically (it covers two adjacent cells in one of the columns), it should cover only blue cells. Let the value of the board be the maximum number of dominoes you can place. Calculate the sum of values of the board over all 2w possible ways to paint it. Since it can be huge, print it modulo 998244353. Input The first line contains two integers n and m (1≤n,m≤3⋅105; nm≤3⋅105) — the number of rows and columns, respectively.

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).

- Control Loops: 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.

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.

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
- Rock Paper Scissors Game Instructions In the game Rock Paper Scissors, two players simultaneously choose one of three options: rock, paper, or scissors. If both chose the same option, then the result is a tie. However, if they choose differently, the winner is determined as follows: • Rock beats scissors, because a rock can break a pair of scissors. • Scissors beat paper, because scissors can cut the paper. • Paper beats rock, because a piece of paper can cover a rock. Create a game in which the computer randomly chooses rock, paper, or scissors. Assign the number 1, 2, or 3 to represent one of the three choices. Let the user enter a number. Then determine the winner by comparing the user input and the randomly generated choice of the computer. Additional instructions: • The Program should validate all user input. • Game should ask the user to play again and continue if yes and stop if no. • Once the user stops playing, program should print the total number of wins.arrow_forwardRock Paper Scissors Game Instructions In the game Rock Paper Scissors, two players simultaneously choose one of three options: rock, paper, or scissors.

The object of this game is for the user to guess the number of hard-boiled eggs prior to playing the game. The computer then simulates cracking all 12 eggs, using a random number 0 or 1 to simulate raw or hard boiled. The number 0 should represent raw eggs and the number 1 should represent hard boiled. The computer must keep track of the number of hard-boiled eggs. At the conclusion of cracking all 12 eggs, the actual number of hard boiled is compared to the user’s guess, and whether the user won or lost is given as output. The goal of this milestone is to use Coral to program one of the loops you will need for your finalized program in Project Two. This will help you define the logic, flow, and sequence of the game. For this work, you will write code in Coral for your selected programming game by accessing the activity in the zyBook. Note that links for each are…arrow_forward
