Chapter 7, Problem 7.24PE
(Simulation: coupon collector’s problem) Coupon collector is a classic statistics problem with many practical applications. The problem is to repeatedly pick objects from a set of objects and find out how many picks are needed for all the objects to be picked at least once. A variation of the problem is to pick cards from a shuffled deck of 52 cards repeatedly, and find out how many picks are needed before you see one of each suit. Assume a picked card is placed back in the deck before picking another. Write a

Sloan’s Book Collection
Sloan loves reading books. 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…
[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…

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.

The knight is placed on the empty board and, moving according to the rules of chess, must visit each square exactly once. There are several billion solutions to the problem, of which about 122,000,000 have the knight finishing on the same square on which it begins. When this occurs the tour is said to be closed. Your assignment is to write a program that gives a solution to the Knight's Tour problem recursively. You must hand in a solution in C++ AND Java. The name of the C++ file should be "main.cc" and the name of the Java file should be "Main.java".

- 3. Suppose you have been hired to develop a musical chair game. In this game there will be 7 participants and all of them will be moving clockwise around a set of 7 chairs organized in a circular manner while music will be played in the background. You will control the music using random numbers between 0-3.lf the generated random number is 1, you will stop the music and if the number of participants who are still in the game is n, the participants at position (n/2) will be eliminated. Each time a participant is eliminated, a chair will be removed and you have to print the player names who are still in the game. The game will end when there will be only one participant left. At the end of the game, display the name of the winner. [Hint: You will need to invoke a built-in method to generate a random number between 0 (inclusive) to 3 (inclusive)] Use Python languagearrow_forwardplease code in python You place a pawn at the top left corner of an n-by-n chess board, labeled (0,0). For each move, you have a choice: move the pawn down a single space, or move the pawn down one space and right one space. That is, if the pawn is at position (i,j), you can move the pawn to (i+1,j) or (i+1, j+1). Ask the user for the size of a chessboard, n (integer). Find the number of different paths starting from (0,0) that the pawn could take to reach each position on the chess board. For example, there are two different paths the pawn can take to reach (2,1). Look at the diagrams below to convince yourself of this. You can see the four paths that you can take by move 2. Start -> Move 1 -> Move 2 (0,0) -> (1,0) -> (2,1) (0,0) -> (1,0) -> (2,0) (0,0) -> (1,1) -> (2,1) (0,0) -> (1,1) -> (2,2) Print the board with the number of ways to reach each square labeled as shown below. For example: Enter a board size: 4 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 2 1 0 1 3 3 1arrow_forwardSuppose that you are given an n × n checkerboard and a checker. You must move the checker from the bottom edge of the board to the top edge of the board according to the following rule. At each step you may move the checker to one of three squares: 1. the square immediately above 2. the square that is one up and one to the left (but only if the checker if not already in the leftmost column) 3. the square that is one up and one to the right (but only if the checker is not already in the rightmost column). 1 Each time you move from square x to square y, you receive p(x, y) dollars. You are given p(x, y) for all pairs (x, y) for which a move from x to y is legal. Do not assume that p(x, y) is positive. design a recursive backtracking algorithm that determines the maximum amount of money you can recieve, when moving a checker frmo somewhere on the bottom row to somewhere on the top row. your algorithm is free to pick any squrre along the bottom row as a starting point and any square along…arrow_forward

Create a program to determine which lights are on and which will not be lit when k (1 < k < 100) nights have elapsed, and to find which night the most lights were lit and which the least.
