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…
Lucky Pairs
Richie and Raechal are participating in a game called "Lucky pairs" at the Annual Game Fair in their Company. As per the rules of the contest, two members form a team and Richie initially has the number A and Raechal has the number B.There are a total of N turns in the game, and Richie and Raechal alternatively take turns. In each turn, the player's number is multiplied by 2. Richie has the first turn. Suppose after the entire N turns, Richie’s number has become C, and Raechal’s number has become D, the final score of the team will be the sum of the scores (C+D) of both the players after N turns. Write a program to facilitate the quiz organizers to find the final scores of the team. Input and Output Format:The only line of input contains 3 integers A, B, and N.Output a single line that contains the integer that gives the final score of the team which will be the sum of the scores of both the players after N turns.Refer sample input and output for formatting specifications.…

=======================
One variation on the game of nim is described in Luger. The game begins with a single pile of stones. 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.(6.1) Draw the complete game tree for this version of Nim if the start state consists of six stones.(6.2) Perform a minimax evaluation for this game. Let 1 denote a win and 0 a loss.

It is simply a type of substitution cipher, i.e., each letter of a given text is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet. For example, with a shift of 1, A would be replaced by B, B would become C, and so on. The method is apparently named after Julius Caesar, who apparently used it to communicate with his officials. Thus, to cipher a given text we need an integer value, known as a shift which indicates the number of positions each letter of the text has been moved down. The encryption can be represented using modular arithmetic by first transforming the letters into numbers, according to the scheme, A = 0, B = 1 ,…, Z = 25. Encryption of a letter by a shift n can be described mathematically as. En(x) = (x+n) mod 26 (Encryption Phase with shift n) Write an algorithm and implement a program in C to read the data from a file (called…arrow_forward
- Union-Find: Maze Write a program that generates mazes of arbitrary size using the union-find algorithm. A simple algorithm to generate the maze is to start by creating an N x M grid of cells separated by walls on all sides, except for entrance and exit. Then continually choose a wall randomly, and knock it down if the cells are not already connected to each other. If we repeat the process until the starting and ending cells are connected, we have a maze. It is better to continue knocking down the walls until every cell is reachable from every cell as this would generate more false leads in the maze. Test you algorithm by creating a 15 x 15 grid, and print all the walls that have been knocked down. Darrow_forward1. Astronomy Board Game In an astronomy board game, N planets in an imaginary universe do not follow the normal law of gravitation. All the planets are positioned in a row. The planetary system can be in a stable state only if the sum of the mass of all planets at even positions is equal to the sum of the mass of planets at the odd positions. Initially, the system is not stable, but a player can destroy one planet to make it stable. Find the planet that should be destroyed to make the system stable. If no such planet exists, then return -1. If there are multiple such planets, then destroy the planet with the smallest index and return the index of the destroyed planet. Example Let N=5 and planets = [2,4,6,3,4]. Destroying the fourth planet of mass 3 will result in planets= [2,4,6,4], and here, the sum of odd positioned planets is (2+6)=8, and the sum of even positioned planets is (4+4)=8, and both are equal now. Hence, we destroy the fourth planet.

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
- 1) BFS refresher: Suppose you have an n × n chessboard and a knight placed in one of the squares. Youwould like to find out the fewest number of moves needed to reach a given target square. Design an algorithmfor this task stated formally below: Input: An n × n chess board, a starting square S, and a target square T.Output: The fewest number of moves a knight takes to move from S to T. Write in Pseudocode, please.arrow_forwardTiling: The precondition to the problem is that you are given threeintegers n, i, j, where i and j are in the range 1 to 2n. You have a 2n by 2n squareboard of squares. You have a sufficient number of tiles each with the shape . Your goalis to place nonoverlapping tiles on the board to cover each of the 2n × 2n tiles except forthe single square at location i, j. Give a recursive algorithm for this problem in whichyou place one tile yourself and then have four friends help you.

Give a polynomial time algorithm to pick a maxi- mum value subset S of the balls so that no three consecutive balls are in S. For example, say the ball values are 2 2 3 2 2 then, the maximum value subset has the first, second, fourth and the fifth ball, and their total value is 2+2+ 2+2 = 8. For this problem, you also need to write a proof of correctness of the recurrence.arrow_forward
- Problem D: Different Dice Game Consider the following game for two players: The first player rolls a pair of dice of fair six-sided dice. If the two dice show different numbers, the player's score is the larger of the two numbers. Otherwise, the player's score is the sum of the two numbers. At this point, the player is asked if they want to remove their lower die and re-roll one die. If they say no, the player keeps her score and their turn is over. If they say yes, then they roll one more die and the number showing on this die replaces the lower of the original two rolls. Then these two dice rolls are scored accordingly. (For example, if the initial roll was a 2 and 5, if the player doesn't roll again, she gets 5 points. If she does roll again and obtains a 4, her score is still 5. If she rolled again and obtained a 6, her score would be a 6. If she rollwed again and obtained a 5, her score would be a 10.) The second player goes after the first, doing the exact same steps as the first…arrow_forwardBad News Bearers Introduction There is some bad news to be delivered, and X has taken on the dangerous mission. Nobody really wants to be the one to take the news; the way goes through enemy territory and, even if the messenger gets through, the classic fate of the bearer of bad news may be waiting. (Let's just say, this is how the phrase "Don't shoot the messenger" became relevant.) To determine which messenger will be sent, X sits all of his messengers down in a circle, selects a number, and starts to count off. Messengers are allowed to leave the circle one by one, and the last messenger left is the one who will deliver the bad news. The counting off procedure is slightly unusual, however, because it is actually the messenger after the last one counted who gets to leave the circle. Consider the following example with 5 messengers, in which the number selected for counting off is 7. We'll start at the "head" of the list and move forward. Since it is circular, the "head"…arrow_forwardObjectives Java refresher (including file I/O) Use recursion Description For this project, you get to write a maze solver. A maze is a two dimensional array of chars. Walls are represented as '#'s and ' ' are empty squares. The maze entrance is always in the first row, second column (and will always be an empty square). There will be zero or more exits along the outside perimeter. To be considered an exit, it must be reachable from the entrance. The entrance is not an exit.Here are some example mazes:mazeA 7 9 # # ##### # # # # # # # ### # # # # ##### # # # ######### mazeB 7 12 # ########## # # # # # # # #### # # # # # # ##### ## # # # # ############ mazeC 3 5 # # # ## ## Requirements Write a MazeSolver class in Java.
