Chapter 6, Problem 6.26E
(Eight Queens) Another puzzler for chess buffs is the Eight Queens problem. Simply stated: Is it possible to place eight queens on an empty chessboard so that no queen is “attacking” any other—that is, so that no two queens are in the same row, the same column, or along the same diagonal? Use the kind of thinking developed in Exercise 6.24 to formulate a heuristic for solving the Eight Queens problem. Run your
Once these “elimination numbers” are placed in all 64 squares, an appropriate heuristic might be: Place the next queen in the square with the smallest elimination number. Why is this strategy intuitively appealing?

(YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE ARRAYLIST IN THIS PROJECT)Write a Java program to simulate a blackjack game of cards. The computer will play the role of the dealer. The program will randomly generate the cards dealt to the player and dealer during the game. Cards in this game will be represented by numbers 1 to 13 with Ace being represented by a 1. Remember, that face cards (i.e. Jack, Queen, and King) are worth 10 points to a hand while an Ace can be worth 1 or 11 points depending on the user’s choice. The numbered cards are worth their number value to the hand.

question:
Develop a solver for the n-queens problem: n queens are to be placed on an n x n chessboard so that no pair of queens can attack each other. Recall that in chess, a queen can attack any piece that lies in the same row, column, or diagonal as itself.
A brief treatment of this problem for the case where n = 8 is given below (from the 3rd edition of AIMA).
N-queens is a useful test problem for search, with two main kinds of formulation. An incremental formulation involves operators that augment the state description, starting with an empty state; for the 8-queens problem, this means that each action adds a queen to the state. A complete-state formulation starts with all 8 queens on the board and moves them around. (In either case, the path cost is of no interest because only the final state counts.) The first incremental formulation one might try is…

- [Fish Tank] You play with a clown fish that has an initial size so. The fish can eat other fish in a tank organized in m columns and n rows. The fish at column i and row j has a positive size si,j. When your fish eats another fish, it grows by that amount. For example, if your clown fish has a size of 10 and eats a fish of size 5, it becomes of size 15. You cannot eat a fish that is bigger than your size. The game starts by eating any fish in the first (left-most) column that is not bigger than yours. After that, you advance one column at a time by moving right. You have only three allowed moves. You either stay at the same row, move one row higher or one row lower. You will always move to the right. Thus, you will make exactly m moves to advance from left to right. Your goal is to exit the fish tank from the right with the biggest possible size. The figure below shows an example with the best answer highlighted. In this case, the final fish size is 71 (10+8+7+24+22).

The move by a player consists of dividing a pile into two piles that contain an unequal number of stones. For example, if one pile contains six stones, it could be subdivided into piles of five and one, or four and two, but not three and three. The first player who cannot make a move loses the game.

- Correct answer will be upvoted else Multiple Downvoted. Don't submit random answer. Computer science. anglers have recently gotten back from a fishing excursion. The I-th angler has gotten a fish of weight man-made intelligence. Anglers will flaunt the fish they got to one another. To do as such, they initially pick a request where they show their fish (every angler shows his fish precisely once, in this way, officially, the request for showing fish is a stage of integers from 1 to n). Then, at that point, they show the fish they discovered by the picked request. At the point when an angler shows his fish, he may either become glad, become dismal, or stay content. Assume an angler shows a fish of weight x, and the most extreme load of a formerly shown fish is y (y=0 if that angler is quick to show his fish). Then, at that point: in the event that x≥2y, the angler becomes cheerful; in the event that 2x≤y, the angler becomes miserable; in the event that none of these two…arrow_forward2, Towers of Hanoi Problem. (10 points) The Towers of Hanoi is a famous problem for studying recursion in computer science and searching in artificial intelligence. We start with N discs of varying sizes on a peg (stacked in order according to size), and two empty pegs. We are allowed to move a disc from one peg to another, but we are never allowed to move a larger disc on top of a smaller disc. The goal is to move all the discs to the rightmost peg (see figure). To solve the problem by using search methods, we need first formulate the problem. Supposing there are K pegs and N disk. Answer the following questions. (1) Determine a state representation for this problem. (4points) (2) What is the size of the state space? (3 points) (3) Supposing K=3, N=4, what is the start state by using your proposed state representation method and what is the goal state? (3 points)arrow_forwardCan you please show b and c.

In trick taking games such as whist or bridge, four players each play one card from their hand to the trick, committing to their play in clockwise order starting from the player who plays first into the trick. The winner of the trick is determined by the following rules:1. If one or more cards of the trump suit have been played to the trick, the trick is won by the highest ranking trump card, regardless of the other cards played.2. If no trump cards have been played to the trick, the trick is won by the highest card of the suit of the first card played to the trick. Cards of any other suits, regardless of their rank, are powerless to win that trick.3. Ace is the highest card in each suit.Note that the order in which the cards are played to the trick greatly affects the outcome of that trick, since the first card played in the trick…arrow_forward
- 6. You are going to play WAR against the computer. This can be super basic. You can have the user "draw" (pick 2-10, J, Q, K, A) a card, or have both cards randomly generated. You should tell who won, user or computer. Example If I play a 7 and the computer plays a Queen, the computer wins. If I place an Ace and the computer plays a 5, I win. If both the computer andI play a 3, we are at "WAR" - do whatever you want with this. Tie? No one wins?

She recently started reading an AI generated series called “Harry Trotter”. Sloan is collecting books from the series at her nearest bookstore. Since the series is AI generated, the publishers have produced an infinite collection of the books where each book is identified by a unique integer. The bookstore has exactly one copy of each book. Sloan wants to buy the books in the range [l,r], where l ≤ r. As an example, the range [−3,3] means that Sloan wants to buy the books − 3, − 2, − 1, 0, 1, 2, and 3. Pam also loves the series (or maybe annoying Sloan– who knows, really), and he manages to sneak into the bookstore very early to buy all of the books in the range [d,u], where d ≤ u. When Sloan later visits, sadly she will not find those books there anymore. For example, if Sloan tries to buy books [−2,3] and Pam has bought books [0,2], Sloan would only receive…arrow_forward
