Program Plan Intro

Creation of main method to compute a value to find greatest puzzler

Program Plan:

  • Define a method “shoot()” for simulation of a single shot.
    • It simulates shooting at “targetAlive” with given “accuracy”.
    • It generates a random number in between 0 and 1.
    • If random number goes less than “accuracy”, target is hit also “targetAlive” is set to false.
  • Define a method “startDuel()” for duel simulation.
    • Declare variables used in function.
    • Call “shoot()” method to simulate entire duel with this strategy.
    • It loops until one contestant remains.
    • It invokes shoot function with value for target as well as probability for hitting target.
    • It returns a value that indicates the winner of duel.
  • Define the main method.
    • Declare variables required for the function.
    • Call method “startDuel()” to simulation of a duel.
    • It returns a value that indicates the winner of duel.
    • It updates values for winners.
    • Display values of percentages of win.

I need help in construct a matlab code to find the voltage, the currents, and the watts based on that circuit.
Objective Implement Bottom-Up Iterative MergeSort and analyze its efficiency compared to recursive MergeSort. Unlike the recursive approach, which involves multiple function calls and stack overhead, the bottom-up version sorts iteratively by merging small subarrays first, reducing recursion depth and improving performance. Task 1. Implement Bottom-Up Iterative MergeSort о Start with single-element subarrays and iteratively merge them into larger sorted sections. Use a loop-based merging process instead of recursion. ○ Implement an efficient in-place merging strategy if possible. 2. Performance Analysis Compare execution time with recursive MergeSort on random, nearly sorted, and reversed datasets. ○ Measure and plot time complexity vs. input size. O Submission Explain why the iterative version reduces function call overhead and when it performs better. • Code implementation with comments. • A short report (1-2 pages) comparing performance. • Graph of execution time vs. input size for…
