Task 07: The concept of Tower of Hanoi discusses a mathematical puzzle where we have
three rods and n disks. The objective of the puzzle is to move the entire stack to another rod,
obeying the following simple rules:
1. Only one disk can be moved at a time.
2. Each move consists of taking the upper disk from one of the stacks and placing
it on top of another stack i.e. a disk can only be moved if it is the uppermost disk
on a stack.
3. No disk may be placed on top of a smaller disk.
Write a program that takes number of disks as input and prints a sequence of steps to solve
Tower of Hanoi problem.
hint: If number of disks are 3, the program prints following sequence:
Move disk I from rod A to rod C
Move disk 2 from rod A to rod B
Move disk I from rod C to rod B
Move disk 3 from rod A to rod C
Move disk 1 from rod B to rod A
Move disk 2 from rod B to rod C
Move disk I from rod A to rod C

- 36. write general plan for analyzing non-recursive algorithms.arrow_forwardTowers of Hanoi. There is a story about Buddhist monks who are playing this puzzle with 64 stone disks. The story claims that when the monks finish moving the disks from one post to a second via the third post, time will end. Eschatology (concerns about the end of time) and theology will be left to those better qualified; our interest is limited to the recur- sive solution to the problem. A stack of n disks of decreasing size is placed on one of three posts. The task is to move the disks one at a time from the first post to the second. To do this, any disk can be moved from any post to any other post, subject to the rule that you can never place a larger disk over a smaller disk. The (spare) third post is provided to make the solution possible. Your task is using c++ write a recursive function that describes instructions for a solution to this problem. We don’t have graphics available, so you should output a sequence of instructions that will solve the problem.

- One-friend recursion vs iteration. 1. Your objective is to receive the tuple a1, a2,..., a and return the tuple an, an1,..., a1 that has been inverted. You will only take an element off of one end or put an element back on one end because you are being lazy. But you have friends in recursion who can assist you.Please provide the recursive code as well as a paragraph with the friend's description of the algorithm.2. Now imagine that you lack friends but have a stack. Quickly design an iterative programme to address this issue. Include loop invariants and other crucial stages that are necessary to describe an iterative method.3. Trace both of these scripts separately. On a computer, step by step compare and contrast their calculations.arrow_forwardSelect which of the following statements about searching for items in a list is incorrect. Group of answer choices 1. In an unsorted list, if the item is not present in the list, we will need to check every single item. In a sorted list, if we start the search at the smallest item, at most we would only need to check all items smaller than the target. If we get to an item larger than the target we can end our search early. This would make searching faster in the sorted list. 2. Sorting a list only makes sense for primitive types (ints, doubles) and Strings but not objects. For this reason we cannot sort a list of objects, and will always have to check each object in a list when we search for a target object. 3. In an unsorted list you need to check each item, to see if it is the item you want. If the list is sorted you can look at the middle item and then you can direct your search to the relevant portion of the list (higher or lower). This is called binary search. This will…arrow_forwardPlease show your complete solution and write readable thanks. A piece of construction paper is about 0.03 inches thick.

- Discuss about how to best use a recursive program. When do you use stacks? What is the benefit of using stacks? Can you describe the fundamental difference between queues and stacks so that even non-major students might understand it?arrow_forwardQuick Sort We choose an element from the list, called the pivot. We'll use it to divide the list into two sub-lists. We reorder all the elements around the pivot The ones with smaller value are placed before it All the elements greater than the pivot after it. After this step, the pivot is in its final position. This is the important partition step. We apply the above steps recursively to both sub-lists on the left and right of the pivot. Quick Sort (Example) Consider the following array Arr[] = {5, 9, 4, 6, 5, 3} Let's suppose we pick 5 as the pivot for simplicity We'll first put all elements less than 5 in the first position of the array: {3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 9} We'll then repeat it for the left sub-array {3,4}, taking 3 as the pivot There are no elements less than 3 We apply quicksort on the sub-array in the right of the pivot, i.e. {4} This sub-array consists of only one sorted element We continue with the right part of the original array, {6, 5, 9} until we get the final ordered…arrow_forwardRecursive algorithm question.arrow_forward
