Chapter 8, Problem 8.20PE
Program Plan Intro

Game: connect four

Program Plan:

  • Define the class named “Exercise08_20”.
    • Define the “Scanner” object “obj” for input.
    • Define main method.
      • Declare the two dimensional array “brd” in type of character.
      • Call the “print_board()” method to print default board.
      • Using “while” loop,
        • Call the “Disk_drop()” method which passes “R” and “brd” as parameter.
        • Print the board.
        • Using “if…else” condition, call the methods and print appropriate statement on screen.
        • Call the “Disk_drop()” method which passes “Y” and “brd” as parameter.
        • Print the board.
        • Using “if…else” condition, call the methods and print appropriate statement on screen.
    • Define the method “Disk_drop()” which passes “player” and “brd[][]” as parameters.
      • Declare the Boolean variable “done” and assign “false” into it.
      • Using “do…while” loop,
        • Prompt and get the input for “column” from user.
        • Call the method “Disk_place()” which passes board “brd”, column “column”, and player “player” as parameter in “if” condition.
          • Assign “true” to variable “done”.
        • Else print appropriate statement on screen.
    • Define the method “Disk_place()” which passes board “brd”, column “col”, and player “player” as parameter.
      • Using “for” loop, assign value of “player” into “brd[][]”.
      • Return appropriate Boolean value.
    • Define the method “print_board()” which passes board “brd[][]” as parameter.
      • Using “for” loops, print the board on screen.
    • Define the method “isWon()” which passes board “brd[][]” as parameter.
      • Call the method “isConsecutiveFour()” method which passes “brd” as parameter and return the resultant value.
    • Define the method “isDraw()” which passes board “brd[][]” as parameter.
      • Using “for” loops, check the board value and pass the resultant value.
    • Define the method “isConsecutiveFour()” which passes “values[][]” as parameter.
      • Declare and initialize the variables “numberOfRows” and “numberOfColumns” in type of integer.
      • Using “for” loops check rows, columns, major diagonal for lower part, major diagonal for upper part, sub diagonal for left part, sub diagonal for right part, major diagonal for upper part.
        • Return the appropriate value to calling function.
    • Define the method “isConsecutiveFour()” which passes “val[]” as parameter.
      • Using “for” loops check the values of board and return the resultant value.

This does not appear to be the answer to this question; Cheese's position is randomly generated in a 5x5 grid. The initial positions are x,y. The position of Cheese is not specified as (3, 4)
Correct answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Computer science.    After painting the white cells of the board, you want to place the maximum number of dominoes on it, according to the following rules:   each domino covers two adjacent cells; each cell is covered by at most one domino; if a domino is placed horizontally (it covers two adjacent cells in one of the rows), it should cover only red cells; if a domino is placed vertically (it covers two adjacent cells in one of the columns), it should cover only blue cells. Let the value of the board be the maximum number of dominoes you can place. Calculate the sum of values of the board over all 2w possible ways to paint it. Since it can be huge, print it modulo 998244353.   Input The first line contains two integers n and m (1≤n,m≤3⋅105; nm≤3⋅105) — the number of rows and columns, respectively.   Then n lines follow, each line contains a string of m characters. The j-th character in the i-th string is * if the j-th cell in the i-th row…
PLEASE CODE IN PYTHON The Penny Pitch game is popular in amusement parks. Pennies are tossed onto a board that has certain areas marked with different prizes. For example: The prizes available on this board are puzzle, game, ball, poster, and doll. At the end of the game, if all of the squares that say BALL are covered by a penny, the player gets the ball. This is also true for the other prizes. The board is made up of 25 squares (5 x 5). Each prize appears on three randomly chosen squares so that 15 squares contain prizes.In Python, create a PennyPitch application that displays a Penny Pitch board (use [ and ] to indicate squares) with prizes randomly placed and then simulates ten pennies being randomly pitched onto the board. After the pennies have been pitched, the application should display a message indicating which prizes have been won, if any.
