Chapter 7, Problem 7.24E

(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. i.e., no two queens are in the same row, the same column. or along the same diagonal? Use the thinking the developed in Exercise 7.22 to formulate a heuristic for solving the Eight Queens problem. Run program. [Hint: It's possible to assign a value to each square of the chessboard indicating how many squares of an empty chessboard are "eliminated" if a queen is placed in that square. Each of the corners would be assigned the value 22, as in Fig. 7.26. Once these “elimination number” are placed in all 64 squares, an appropriate heuristic might be: Place the next queen in the square with smallest elimination number. Why is this strategy intuitively appealing?]

[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). You are required…
(Data Structures and Algo C++ Weiss 4th ed -  ch7.40): The following divide-and-conquer algorithm is proposed for finding the simultaneous maximum and minimum: If there is one item, it is the maximum and minimum, and if there are two items, then compare them, and in one comparison you can find the maximum and minimum. Otherwise, split the input into two halves, divided as evenly as possibly (if N is odd, one of the two halves will have one more element than the other). Recursively find the maximum and minimum of each half, and then in two additional comparisons produce the maximum and minimum for the entire problem. In C++, find a function which will take in a vector and solve the problem, producing a vector of two elements, the min and max.
(In java) Lab6C: Cha-Ching For this lab, use a do-while loop.A sentinel loop is a loop (a special while loop or a do-while loop) that continues to process data until itreaches a specific value(s) that signals that it should stop looping; this special value(s) is usuallyindicated as the condition of the while or do-while loop. A good example of a sentinel loop is the whileloop that you had to write to verify user input in Lab6B, the special values were anything in the range of1 to 1000. Another very common application for this is allowing a user to rerun a program.Please write a very simple program that mimics a bank account. The program should start the user outwith $1000. The program should print out a welcome menu once with the options present for the user.The program should allow the user to make a deposit, withdrawal, and see their current balance.Every time the user deposits or withdraws, the program should show the user their new balance; itshould also ask the user if they want…
