Using Dart.
Create a program that will play the “cows and bulls” game with the user. The game works like this: Randomly generate a 4-digit number. Ask the user to guess a 4-digit number. For every digit the user guessed correctly in the correct place, they have a “cow”. For every digit the user guessed correctly in the wrong place is a “bull.” Every time the user makes a guess, tell them how many “cows” and “bulls” they have. Once the user guesses the correct number, the game is over. Keep track of the number of guesses the user makes throughout the game and tell the user at the end.
A square is divided into four smaller regions as shown below in (a). If you throw a dart into the square 1,000,000 times, what is the probability for a dart to fall into an odd-numbered region? Write a program to simulate the process and display the result.
A robot is initially located at position (0, 0) in a grid [−5, 5] × [−5, 5]. The robot can move randomly in any of the directions: up, down, left, right. The robot can only move one step at a time. For each move, print the direction of the move and the current position of the robot. If the robot makes a circle, which means it moves back to the original place, print “Back to the origin!” to the console and stop the program. If it reaches the boundary of the grid, print “Hit the boundary!” to the console and stop the program.
A successful run of your code may look like:
Down (0,-1)
Down (0,-2)
Up (0,-1)
Left (-1,-1)
Left (-2,-1)
Up (-2,0)
Left (-3,0)
Left (-4,0)
Left (-5,0)
Hit the boundary!
or
Left (-1,0)
Down (-1,-1)
Right (0,-1)
Up (0,0)
Back to the origin!

- In a classroom election, two presidential candidates, namely, Lisa and Teddy, both garnered the same number of total votes. As such, they decided to play a custom dice game to determine the winner of the election. In this game, a player needs to roll a pair of dice. Teddy will win the game if the sum is odd whereas Lisa will be declared winner if the sum results to even. However, prior to the start of the game, Teddy complained that the custom dice game is biased because according to him, the probability of an even result is 6/11, and for odd - only 5/11. Verify Teddy's claim and evaluate the fairness of the game. CLEAR SOLUTIONarrow_forwardAt Chef's house there are apples lying on the floor. These apples are numbered from 1 (left one right) to N (right one right). Apples are also listed in whole numbers, and the apple variety is Ti. Chef recently brought in two trained dogs. Both dogs are very clever enough to detect the smell of each apple. If the Chef gives the dog the x number, and releases it at the end of the apple line, then the dog inhales the apple one by one. When the dog has found an x-type apple, the dog picks up the apple and returns to the Chef's room immediately. If there is no x-type apple, then the dog will come back without the apples. Now Chef wants to eat two apples very quickly. Here apples should have different varieties, and the total number of varieties should be equal to K. The cook can free the dogs to any limit, that is, he can walk (both at the left end) or (both at the right end) or (one at the left end and the other on the right) and can free them at the same time. The dogs take one second to…arrow_forwardWrite a program to simulate a bank transaction. As the banker, create a single pin number for all customer that enter the bank (a constant variable). You are now ready for customer transactions. Prompt the customer for their name and pin number. If the pin number does not match your banker pin number, then they are not a valid customer. Send them away. If the customer is a valid customer, there are two bank accounts: checking and savings. First, ask for the initial balances of the bank accounts; reject negative balances. Then ask for the transactions; options are deposit, withdrawal, and transfer. Then ask for the account; options are checking and savings. Then ask for the amount; reject transactions that overdraw an account. At the end, display the balances of both accounts (using printf) to two decimal places and with a leading dollar sign.arrow_forward
- Write a program that plays the tic-tac-toe game. Two players take turns clicking an available cell in a grid with their respective tokens (either X or O). When one player has placed three tokens in a horizontal, vertical,or diagonal row on the grid, the game is over and that player has won. A draw (no winner) occurs when all the cells in the grid have been filled with tokens and neither player has achieved a win. Figure 12.17 shows the representative sample runs of the example. Assume that all the cells are initially empty, and that the first player takes the X token and the second player the O token. To mark a cell, the player points the mouse to the cell and clicks it. If the cell is empty, the token (X or O) is displayed. If the cell is already filled, the player’s action is ignored.Define a custom class named Cell that extends Label for displaying a token and for responding to the button-click event.

- Tentaizu is a classic Japanese game that consists of a 7x7 board of which 10 of those 49 slots are "stars". The objective of the game is to determine the position of these stars. To help with identifying the correct position, some slots contain hints in the form of numbers. These hints work like the number hints in minesweeper in the sense that it identifies how many stars are adjacent to the slot. The range of values are from 0 (no stars) to 8 (fully surrounded by stars). A Tentaizu puzzle contains only these number hints. Much like other puzzle games like sudoku, there is only one combination of star positions that is described by the puzzle. Your task is to create a solver function for a given Tentaizu puzzle using python. This function should be able to recursively solve the puzzle. Define a function "solve" with the input variable being a 7x7 list representing the Tentaizu puzzle. The return value should be a list of tuples containing the correct coordinates of the 10 stars.

Jill chooses a number from 0 to 100, and Jack makes repeated attempts to guess it. For each guess, Jill will respond with: hotter - if the current guess is closer to her number than the previous guess is colder - if the current guess is farther to her number than the previous guess is same - if the current guess is as far (to her number) as the previous guess is For Jack’s first guess, since there is no previous guess yet, Jill will just answer same. Describe an algorithm or a systematic approach that Jack can follow to win the games faster (fewer guesses). Example: Jill chooses number 40. Note: Jack can guess any number from 0 to 100 at any point of the game. Jack guesses 100. Jill responds same (first guess) Jack guesses 60.

- Let's begin with a lesson in roulette. Roulette is a casino game that involves spinning a ball on a wheel that is marked with numbered squares that are red, black, or green. Half of the numbers 1–36 are colored red and half are black and the numbers 0 and 00 are green. Each number occurs only once on the wheel. We can make many different types of bets, but two of the most common are to bet on a single number (1–36) or to bet on a color (either red or black). These will be the two bets we will consider in this project. After all players place their bets on the table, the wheel is spun and the ball tossed onto the wheel. The pocket in which the ball lands on the wheel determines the winning number and color. The ball can land on only one color and number at a time. We begin by placing a bet on a number between 1 and 36. This bet pays 36 to 1 in most casinos, which means we will be paid $36 for each $1 we bet on the winning number. If we lose, we simply lose whatever amount of money we…arrow_forwardLet's begin with a lesson in roulette.

The game is played with their coins and a strip of paper divided into cells. The cells are numbered from the left, starting from 1. Alpha and Beta put some coins at some random cells on the strip, each coin in a cell. They alternatively take their turn to play the game. At each step, a player must take a coin and move it to a cell to the left of it. There is at most one coin in a cell at any time of the game. Of course, a coin cannot jump over another coin. Whoever cannot move loses the game. Beta takes her turn first. Develop a python code to find out who wins the game, if Beta could win the game, show her a winning move. If there are several winning moves, show her the winning move that uses the leftmost possible coin. If there are still several moves, show her the move that moves the coin as far as possible to the left. Sample Input: 1arrow_forward
