Lottery Statistics
To play the PowerBall lottery, you buy a ticket that has five numbers in the range of 1-69, and a “PowerBall” number in the range of 1–35. (You can pick the numbers yourself, or you can let the ticket machine randomly pick them for you.) Then, on a specified date, a winning set of numbers are randomly selected by a machine. If your first five numbers match the first five winning numbers in any order, and your PowerBall number matches the winning PowerBall number, then you win the jackpot, which is a very large amount of money. If your numbers match only some of the winning numbers, you win a lesser amount, depending on how many of the winning numbers you have matched.
In the student sample programs for this book, you will find a file named pbnumbers.txt, containing the winning PowerBall numbers that were selected between February 3, 2010 and May 11, 2016 (the file contains 654 sets of winning numbers). Here is an example of the first few lines of the file’s contents:
17 22 36 37 52 24
14 22 52 54 59 04
05 08 29 37 38 34
10 14 30 40 51 01
07 08 19 26 36 15
and so on …
Each line in the file contains the set of six numbers that were selected on a given date. The numbers are separated by a space, and the last number in each line is the PowerBall number for that day. For example, the first line in the file shows the numbers for February 3, 2010, which are 17, 22, 36, 37, 52, and the PowerBall number 24.
Write one or more programs that work with this file to perform the following:
- Display the 10 most common numbers, ordered by frequency
- Display the 10 least common numbers, ordered by frequency
- Display the 10 most overdue numbers (numbers that haven’t been drawn in a long time), ordered from most overdue to least overdue
- Display the frequency of each number 1–69, and the frequency of each Powerball number 1–26

The following code works as this: The objective of the player is to escape from this labyrinth. The player starts at the bottom left corner of the labyrinth. He has to get to the top right corner of the labyrinth as fast he can, avoiding a meeting with the evil dragon. The player can move only in four directions: left, right, up or down. There are several escape paths in all labyrinths. The player’s character should be able to moved with the well known WASD keyboard buttons. If the dragon gets to a neighboring field of the player, then the player dies. Because it is dark in the labyrinth, the player can see only the neighboring fields at a distance of 3 units.

- In this assignment, you will implement a multi-threaded program (using C/C++) that will check for Prime Numbers and Palindrome Numbers in a range of numbers. Palindrome numbers are numbers that their decimal representation can be read from left to right and from right to left (e.g. 12321, 5995, 1234321). The program will create T worker threads to check for prime and palindrome numbers in the given range (T will be passed to the program with the Linux command line). Each of the threads works on a part of the numbers within the range. Your program should have some global shared variables: • numOfPrimes: which will track the total number of prime numbers found by all threads. numOfPalindroms: which will track the total number of palindrome numbers found by all threads. numOfPalindromic Primes: which will count the numbers that are BOTH prime and palindrome found by all threads. TotalNums: which will count all the processed numbers in the range. In addition, you need to have arrays…arrow_forwardHow do you distinguish between hardware and a software problem?
