Little Frank loves mathematics. Every day, he solves some mathematical problems to improve his skill. A few days ago, he found a popular problem about turtles. The problem is as follows. Little Frank is given R rectangles, numbered 1 through R. The width and height of the i-th rectangle are Ni and M¡ unit respectively. There is a turtle located on the top-left corner of each rectangle. For each rectangle, count the number of ways the turtle can reach the bottom-right corner, if each turtle can only move right or down 1 unit at any time. The turtle is not allowed to move outside the rectangle, but, of course, the turtle can move on the boundary of the rectangle. In less than one second, this problem was solved for all rectangles. He felt that the problem was too easy. This morning, Little Frank wanted more challenges. Thus, for each rectangle į, he cut and removed a rectangle of A¡ x Bị unit from the top-right corner. See the following figure for detail. Bị Mi He could not solve this…
Java Assignment: Mathematics is the very interesting subject and for the India it is also a point of pride because Mr. Brahmagupta gives the 0 to world. So, in this series want to be great mathematician like Brahmagupta. He is keep practicing for her goal achievement. Once He knew about the Vector dot Product So He asked his friend Sammer the problem. He gave her two vectors A and B length N. He asked him to reduce the dot output of these two vectors. Sammer has the option to change the order of the objects of these two carriers i.e., in any two objects I and j at any vector can change the shape of these objects. Since Sammer is new to the program, he has asked you to resolve the issue using C++ Programming language. Input: 1 4 142-5 3 -8 5 2 Output: -50
In mathematics, a prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two smaller natural numbers, i.e. is it has only two factors 1 and itself. A natural number greater than 1 that is not prime is called a composite number. For example, 5 is prime because the only ways of writing it as a product, 1 × 5 or 5 x 1, involve 5 itself. Note that the prime number series is: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, .. a. Write a Java method named isPrime that takes a natural number as a parameter and returns the if the given number is prime or not using the following header: Public static boolean isPrime (int num) b. Write a Java class called PrimeNumbers that: Reads from the user a natural value n (should be less than or equal 200). Prints a list of the prime numbers from 2 to n and their number and values. The program has to work EXACTLY as given in the following sample run. Hints: You should create a single dimension array to store the prime…
Q3: Interplanetary Spaceflight Milan Tusk is the richest person in the universe. After devoting decades of his life to further our space exploration technologies, he’s finally ready to retire. Being a space enthusiast, the first thing he wants to do is visit n planets p1, p2, …, pn, in this order. He’s currently on planet p0. Milan knows that the distance between planets pi and pi + 1 (for 0 ≤ i < n) is d[i]light years. His spaceship uses 1 tonne of fossil fuels per light year. He starts with a full tank and can fill up his tank at any of the n planets (but he must not run out in between two planets). There’s a huge cost to set up the spaceship for refuelling. Due to financial constraints (he’s not THAT rich), he can fill up his tank at most ktimes. In order to save money and make his spaceship lighter, Milan is looking for the smallest possible fuel tank that enables him to complete his space travel and reach planet pn. What is the smallest tank capacity that enables him to do so?…

IN JAVA Alice and Bob are playing a board game with a deck of nine cards. For each digit between 1 to 9, there is one card with that digit on it. Alice and Bob each draw two cards after shuffling the cards, and see the digits on their own cards without revealing the digits to each other. Then Alice gives her two cards to Bob. Bob sees the digits on Alice’s cards and lays all the four cards on the table in increasing order by the digits. Cards are laid facing down. Bob tells Alice the positions of her two cards. The goal of Alice is to guess the digits on Bob’s two cards. Can Alice uniquely determine these two digits and guess them correctly? Input The input has two integers p,q (1≤p<q≤9) on the first line, giving the digits on Alice’s cards. The next line has a string containing two ‘A’s and two ‘B’s, giving the positions of Alice’s and Bob’s cards on the table. It is guaranteed that Bob correctly sorts the cards and gives the correct positions of Alice’s cards. Output If Alice can…
A popular word game involves finding words from a grid of randomly generatedletters. Words must be at least three letters long and formed from adjoining letters.Letters may not be reused and it is valid to move across diagonals. As an example,consider the following 4 * 4 grid of letters: A B C DE F G HI J K LM N O P The word “FAB” is valid (letters in the upper left corner) and the word “KNIFE”is valid. The word “BABE” is not valid because the “B” may not be reused. Theword “MINE” is not valid because the “E” is not adjacent to the “N”. Write a program that uses a 4 * 4 two-dimensional array to represent the gameboard. The program should randomly select letters for the board. You may wishto select vowels with a higher probability than consonants. You may also wish toalways place a “U” next to a “Q” or to treat “QU” as a single letter. The programshould read the words from the text file words.txt (included on the website withthis book) and then use a recursive algorithm to…
Rahul is a maths genius so he came up with a game and as raj is Rahul's best friend so Rahul decided to play the game with raj. Rahul gives raj two numbers LL and RR and asks raj to find the count of numbers in the range from LL to RR (LL and RR inclusive) which are a digit palindromic. A number is a digit palindromic if its first digit is the same as its last digit. As raj is not very good at maths so your task is to help Raj find out how many numbers are a digit palindromic in the range LL to RR. For example if LL = 88 and RR = 2525 .The following numbers are a digit palindromic in the range of LL to RR: 8, 9, 11, and 22. If LL = 12511251 and RR = 12661266. The digit palindromic numbers are 1251 and 1261. Input format The first line contains an integer denoting the number of test cases. Each test case is described by a single line that contains two integers LL and RR. Output format For each test case output, an integer denoting how many a digit palindromic numbers are there in the…

CCC '13 J1 - Next in line Canadian Computing Competition: 2013 Stage 1, Junior #1 You know a family with three children. Their ages form an arithmetic sequence: the difference in ages between the middle child and youngest child is the same as the difference in ages between the oldest child and the middle child. For example, their ages could be 5, 10 and 15, since both adjacent pairs have a difference of 5 years. Given the ages of the youngest and middle children, what is the age of the oldest child? Input Specification The input consists of two integers, each on a separate line. The first line is the age Y of the youngest child (0
Idiot’s Delight is a fairly simple game of solitaire, yet it is difficult to win. The goal is to draw all of the cards from the deck, and end up with no cards left in your hand. You will run through the deck of cards one time. Start by dealing 4 cards to your hand. You will always look at the last 4 cards in your hand. If the ranks of the “outer” pair (1st and 4th) are the same, discard all four cards. Otherwise, if the suits of the “inner” pair (2nd and 3rd) are the same, discard those 2 cards only. If you have less than 4 cards, draw enough to have 4 cards in your hand. If the deck is empty, the game is over. Your score will be the number of cards that remain in your hand. Like in golf, the lower the score the better. Create a new Python module in a file named “idiots_delight.py”. Add a function called deal_hand that creates a standard deck of cards, deals out a single hand of 4 cards and returns both the hand and the deck. Remember that for the last assignment, you created several…
A robot is initially located at position (0, 0) in a grid [−5, 5] × [−5, 5]. The robot can move randomly in any of the directions: up, down, left, right. The robot can only move one step at a time. For each move, print the direction of the move and the current position of the robot. If the robot makes a circle, which means it moves back to the original place, print “Back to the origin!” to the console and stop the program. If it reaches the boundary of the grid, print “Hit the boundary!” to the console and stop the program. A successful run of your code may look like: Down (0,-1) Down (0,-2) Up (0,-1) Left (-1,-1) Left (-2,-1) Up (-2,0) Left (-3,0) Left (-4,0) Left (-5,0) Hit the boundary! or Left (-1,0) Down (-1,-1) Right (0,-1) Up (0,0) Back to the origin! Instructions: This program is to give you practice using the control flow, the random number generator, and output formatting. You may not use stdafx.h. Include header comments.
