[In C language] The concept of a "drunkard's walk" involves an individual who starts walking aimlessly from a lamp post. With each step they take, they move randomly either north, south, east, or west, each with a 25% probability. As the individual takes more steps, they tend to forget where they started and continue taking random steps. The objective is to determine how far the individual will be from the starting point (0,0) after taking N number of steps. To simulate this random walking motion for N steps, we can create a computer program. This program should ask the user to input an integer representing the number of steps to be taken. It should work for any positive value of steps, even for a large number. However, if the user enters an invalid number (such as a negative value), the program should display an error message. After each step, the program should show the current location of the random walker with respect to the origin (lamp post). Finally, when the random…
Let Ax = {a,b,...,z,—}, |Ax| = 27, denote alpahabet of letters in English text where - represents the space character between words. Let Px = {P₁, P2,..., P27} denote the probability of letters. 1) Estimate pi, by parsing the text "All Systems Red' by Martha Wells. To do this you have to parse the letters in the book and form a character vector x = = [1, 2,..., TN] where N is the number of letters in the book. (Turn all uppercase letters into lowercases and ignore the characters that are not in Ax). You may use Matlab or Python. Then you can estimate p; by its frequency in the text #(x₁ = ai) N where #(i = a;) denotes the number of times ï¿ = a¿ in x. Pi = (1)

The seats at the table are numbered from 1 to 4n. Two children can't sit on a similar seat. It is realized that two children who sit on seats with numbers an and b (a≠b) will enjoy if: gcd(a,b)=1 or, a partitions b or b separates a. gcd(a,b) — the greatest number x with the end goal that an is distinct by x and b is detachable by x. For instance, if n=3 and the children sit on seats with numbers 2, 3, 4, then, at that point, they will enjoy since 4 is isolated by 2 and gcd(2,3)=1. On the off chance that children sit on seats with numbers 4, 6, 10, they won't enjoy. The educator truly doesn't need the wreck at the table, so she needs to situate the children so there are no 2 of the child that can enjoy. All the more officially, she needs no pair of seats an and b that the children…
Imagine there are N teams competing in a tournament, and that each team plays each of the other teams once. If a tournament were to take place, it should be demonstrated (using an example) that every team would lose to at least one other team in the tournament.
This problem is taken from the delightful book "Problems for Mathematicians, Young and Old" by Paul R. Halmos. Suppose that 931 tennis players want to play an elimination tournament. That means: they pair up, at random, for each round; if the number of players before the round begins is odd, one of them, chosen at random, sits out that round. The winners of each round, and the odd one who sat it out (if there was an odd one), play in the next round, till, finally, there is only one winner, the champion. What is the total number of matches to be played altogether, in all the rounds of the tournament? Your answer: Hint: This is much simpler than you think. When you see the answer you will say "of course".

We process the number of sets of distinctively shaded strings that cross rather than the number of convergence focuses, so one convergence point might be counted on numerous occasions if various sets of strings meet at a similar point. In case c is a legitimate shading, let f(c) mean the base number of such convergences out of all conceivable matchings. circle above is portrayed by the shading bwbbbwww. In the wake of coordinating with the spools as displayed, there is one convergence between contrastingly shaded strings. It tends to be demonstrated that it is the base conceivable, so f(bwbbbwww)=1. You are given a string s addressing an incomplete shading, with dark, white, and uncolored spools. A shading c is called s-reachable if you can accomplish it by allocating tones to the uncolored…
业 In the 8 queens problem, you are to place 8 queens on the chessboard in such a way that no two queens attack each other. That is, there are no two queens on the same row, column, or diagonal. The picture above shows a near solution--the top left and bottom right queens attack each other. We want to solve this problem using the techniques of symbolic Al. First, we need states. What would the best choice be for states? Each queen and its position x Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, etc. How many queens we have placed so far A board with the positions of all the queens that have been placed so far 00 What would the start state be? A single queen's position Crouched, with fingers on the starting line Placing the first queen x An empty board What would the goal state be? CA board with 8 queens placed Ball in the back of the net The positions of all 8 queens A board with 8 queens placed, none attacking each otherv What would the best choice for "edges" or "moves" be? Tiktok Moving a queen from…

You need to place a portion of these things into the knapsack so that their all out weight C is half of its size, however (clearly) doesn't surpass it. Officially, C ought to fulfill: ⌈W2⌉≤C≤W. Output the rundown of things you will place into the knapsack or establish that satisfying the conditions is unimaginable. In case there are a few potential arrangements of things fulfilling the conditions, you can output any. Note that you don't need to expand the amount of loads of things in the knapsack. Input Each test contains various experiments. The principal line contains the number of experiments t (1≤t≤104). Depiction of the experiments follows. The main line of each experiment contains integers n and W (1≤n≤200000, 1≤W≤1018). The second line of each experiment…
There are n students who studied at a late-night study for final exam. The time has come to order pizzas. Each student has his own list of required toppings (e.g. mushroom, pepperoni, onions, garlic, sausage, etc). Everyone wants to eat at least half a pizza, and the topping of that pizza must be in his reqired list. A pizza may have only one topping. How to compute the minimum number of pizzas to order to make everyone happy?
There are 2016 passengers about to board a plane, numbered 1 through 2016 in that order. Each passenger is assigned to a seat equal to his or her own number. However, the first passenger disregards instructions and instead of sitting in seat number 1, chooses and sits down in a randomly chosen seat. Each subsequent passenger acts according to the following scheme: if their assigned seat is available, they will sit there; otherwise, they will pick at random from the remaining available seats and sit there. What is the probability that the 1512th passenger ends up sitting in their assigned seat? A. 1/2016 B. 1/2 C. 5/8 D. 3/4 E. None of the above
