Modify the guessing-game program of Section 3.5 so that the user thinks of a number that the computer must guess. The computer must make no more than the minimum number of guesses, and it must prevent the user from cheating by entering misleading hints. (Hint: Use the math.log function to compute the minimum number of guesses needed after the lower and upper bounds are entered.)

Scenario As you surely know, due to some astronomical reasons, years may be leap or common. The former are 366 days long, while the latter are 365 days long. Since the introduction of the Gregorian calendar (in 1582), the following rule is used to determine the kind of year: if the year number isn't divisible by four, it's a common year, otherwise, if the year number isn't divisible by 100, it's a leap year. otherwise, if the year number isn't divisible by 400, it's a common year. otherwise, it's a leap year. none of the above year int(input("enter the year")) if (year%4 1-0) and (year%400 -0) or (year % 1000): print (year is common year") else: print(year, is leap year") year= int(input ("enter the year")) if (years !-0) or (year480 1-0) and (year % 1001-0): print(year is common year") else: print(year, "is leap year") D year= int(input("enter the year"))
odify the guessing-game program so that the user thinks of a number that the computer must guess. The computer must make no more than the minimum number of guesses, and it must prevent the user from cheating by entering misleading hints. Use I'm out of guesses, and you cheated and Hooray, I've got it in X tries as your final output. (Hint: Use the math.log function to compute the minimum number of guesses needed after the lower and upper bounds are entered.) this is what I got so far: ============================================ import random import math smaller = int(input("Enter the smaller number: ")) larger = int(input("Enter the larger number: ")) maxattempt = math.ceil(math.log(larger - smaller)) count = 0 while count != maxattempt: count += 1 guess = int((smaller + larger) / 2) print(smaller, larger) print("Your number is: ", guess) hlp = input("Enter =, <, or >: ") if hlp == '>': smaller = guess + 1 elif hlp == '<':…

Description FRIDAY THE 13TH When will Friday the 13th occur in 1990? Write a program that will find all months in 1990 in which the 13th falls on a Friday. You need to know the following. 1. January 1, 1990 was on a Monday. 2. September, April, June, and November have thirty days, all the rest have 31 except for February which has 28 except in leap years when it has 29. 3. 1990 is not a leap year. Note: To make it fair for everyone, you may not use any built-in date functions from your computer language. Sample Output if Applicable Sample Run In 1990, Friday the 13th occurs in the months: APRIL
[Fish Tank] You play with a clown fish that has an initial size so. The fish can eat other fish in a tank organized in m columns and n rows. The fish at column i and row j has a positive size si,j. When your fish eats another fish, it grows by that amount. For example, if your clown fish has a size of 10 and eats a fish of size 5, it becomes of size 15. You cannot eat a fish that is bigger than your size. The game starts by eating any fish in the first (left-most) column that is not bigger than yours. After that, you advance one column at a time by moving right. You have only three allowed moves. You either stay at the same row, move one row higher or one row lower. You will always move to the right. Thus, you will make exactly m moves to advance from left to right. Your goal is to exit the fish tank from the right with the biggest possible size. The figure below shows an example with the best answer highlighted. In this case, the final fish size is 71 (10+8+7+24+22). You are required…
Implement using python progeam 1) The Variables used here are as followes B : True if there is a Baseball Game on TV, False if not G: True if George watches TV, False if not C: True if George is out of Cat Food, False if not F: True if George feeds his cat, False if not. Let us say you are given some Training Data which represents what happens over a period of time (For example: This file contains what happens every evening over one specific year). Your Task is to learn the conditonal probabilty tables for the bayesian network from the training data. The training data will be formatted as follows: The first number is 0 if there is no baseball game on TV (B is false), and 1 if there is a baseball game on TV (B is true). The second number is 0 if George does not watch TV (G is false), and 1 if George watches TV (G is true). The third number is 0 if George is not out of cat food (C is false), and 1 if George is out of cat food (C is true). The fourth number is 0 if George does not feed…
Three numbersa. Write a program that reads three numbers and prints “all the same” if they are allthe same, “all different” if they are all different, and “neither” otherwise.b. Write a program that reads three numbers and prints “increasing” if they are inincreasing order, “decreasing” if they are in decreasing order, and “neither”otherwise. Here, “increasing” means “strictly increasing”, with each value largerthan its predecessor. The sequence 3 4 4 would not be considered increasing.c. Repeat part b. but before reading the numbers, ask the user whetherincreasing/decreasing should be “strict” or “lenient”. In lenient mode, thesequence 3 4 4 is increasing and the sequence 4 4 4 is both increasing anddecreasing
PYTHON QUESTION : The Syracuse sequence of an integer N is the sequence of integers starting with the term N, where each following term is half of the preceding term if it is even, and one plus three times the preceding term if it is odd. The sequence ends when it reaches the integer 1. The maximum of the Syracuse sequence of an integer N is the highest number reached by this sequence. This maximum can sometimes be very high compared to the starting integer N. What is the maximum of the Syracuse sequence of 3428767? To answer this question it is useful to modify the code given in demonstration which calculates the Syracuse sequence. The code given in the demo : n = 27 print(n) while n != 1: if n%2 == 0: n = n // 2 # where n //= 2 or n >>= 1 else: n = 1 + 3*n print(n)
a) In the Hi-Lo game, the player begins with a score of 1000. The player is prompted for the number of points to risk and a second prompt asks the player to choose either High or Low. The player’s choice of either High or Low is compared to a random number between 1 and 13, inclusive. If the number is between 1 and 6 inclusive, then it is considered “low”. A number between 8 and 13 inclusive is “high”. The number 7 is neither high nor low, and the player loses the points at risk. If the player had guessed correctly, the points at risk are doubled and added to the total points. For a wrong choice, the player loses the points at risk. Create a HiLo application based on this specification. Application output should look similar to b) Modify the application to allow the player to continue until there are 0 points left. At the end of the game, display the number of guesses the user took before running out of points.
How many times does a for loop run? A. A for loop runs a random number of times. B. The value of the for loop variable defines the number of times a for loop may run. C. A for loop runs once. D. A for loop runs once for each item in the sequence included in the for statement. How do the lines of code in the body of a function get executed? A. As soon as the function is defined the code is executed B. The function must be called within the program C. The name of the function is passed in the exec command D. Based on the function's condition What happens when a function is called? A. The function is defined. B. The function is deleted. C. Program execution jumps to the function definition and executes the code in the function body. D. All of the above.

*Using Python The scientist has 500 cages in which to hold her rabbits. Each cage holds one pair of rabbits. Assuming that no rabbits ever die, when will she run out of cages? Your program must do the following: Print a table that contains the following information for each month. The number of months that have passed. The number adult rabbit pairs (those over 1 month old). The number of baby rabbits pairs produced this month. The total number of rabbit pairs in the lab. Calculate how many months it will take until the number of rabbits exceeds the number of available cages. Stop printing when you run out of cages. Print a message giving how many months it will take to run out of cages Output file should look like the following. Comments in the file begin with '#', and must appear as shown too: Code must contain def main(): #main function need in all programs for automated testing """ Program starts here """ #end of main program if __name__ == '__main__': main() #excucte main…
