Although it is kind of silly, state legislatures have been known to pass laws that “change” the value of pi. Suppose you live in a state where, by law, the value of pi is exactly 3.14. How must you change the

You're interested in looking at trending Twitter hashtags, but you notice that people aren't very consistent with how they use them. Specifically, the capitalisation and punctuation in hashtags is inconsistent. You decide to write a program to read in tweets, normalise any hashtags present, and print out a tally of frequencies.
Hashtags should only include words starting with #. All punctuation should be removed from the end of a hashtag, and the letters should be converted to lowercase. For instance, #Python! should be normalised to #python, and #Today_I_Learned... should be #today_i_learned.
Your program should work like this. The tally of hashtags can be printed out in any order.
Tweet: #Python is #AWESOME!Tweet: This is #So_much_fun #awesomeTweet: #python 1#awesome 2#so_much_fun 1

Create a Blackjack (21) game. Your version of the game will imagine only a SINGLE suit of cards, so 13 unique cards, {2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K,A}. Upon starting, you will be given two cards from the set, non-repeating. Your program MUST then tell you the odds of receiving a beneficial card (that would put your value at 21 or less), and the odds of receiving a detrimental card (that would put your value over 21). Recall that the J, Q, and K cards are worth ‘10’ points, the A card can be worth either ‘1’ or ‘11’ points, and the other cards are worth their numerical values.
FOR YOUR ASSIGNMENT: Provide two screenshots, one in which the game suggests it’s a good idea to get an extra card and the result, and one in which the game suggests it’s a bad idea to get an extra card, and the result of taking that extra card.
1. In the game of Monopoly, a pair of dice are rolled to move a player's piece around the board. If a double is
rolled (the dice show the same number), the player receives another roll of the dice. If a double is rolled a
second time, a third roll of the dice is received. If a double is rolled on the third occasion, the player forfeits
their turn (and goes to Jail). Write a program which simulates two players having 50 turns each (a turn
however many dice rolls a player has in a row before it's the other player's turn) and determines:
a) the total number of spaces moved by each player; and
b) how many times a player rolls a double which results in movement of a piece.
Use the randi function.
For fun, incorporate the rule that a player cannot leave Jail (cannot move) unless they either roll a double or
three turns have passed without rolling a double.

- Your math teacher has asked you to write a program that grades the multiple-choice questions in a Math exam. The exam has 10 multiple-choice questions. Here are the correct answers: 1. A 6. B 2.D 3. B 4.B 5.C 7.A 8. B 9.C 10.D Your program should store the correct answers shown above in a list. It should ask the student to enter her answers for each of the 10 questions, and the answers should be stored in another list. After the student's answers have been entered, the program should display a message indicating whether the student passed or failed the exam. (A student must correctly at least answer 7 of the 10 questions to pass the exam.) It should then display the total number of correctly answered questions, the total number of incorrectly answered questions. Your program must have at least the following functions: 1. getInput(inputList) 2. checkAnswers(userlist, correctAnswerList, rightQuestions, wrongQuestions) *. The getInput function accepts a list and asks the user to input…arrow_forwardplease code in python You are probably familiar with the famous Fibonacci sequence of numbers, which begins like this: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21... We'll index from 0, so the 0th and 1st numbers are both 1. The 2nd Fibonacci number is found by summing the 0th and 1st: 1 + 1 = 2. The 3rd is found by summing the 1st and 2nd: 1 + 2 = 3. After this point, each Fibonacci number is found by summing the previous two numbers. You are to write a recursive function to compute the nth Fibonacci number. This means that your function will call itself and will NOT include explicit loops. Hint: Your function should include a line that looks a lot like the mathematical definition of the nth Fibonacci number. Another Hint: It's possible for a recursive function to call itself more than once. Example: print(Fibonacci(1)) 1arrow_forwardUse Python & Don't use any python Library. You can use Random.randint() only. 3. Suppose you have been hired to develop a musical chair game. In this game there will be 7 participants and all of them will be moving clockwise around a set of 7 chairs organized in a circular manner while music will be played in the background. You will control the music using random numbers between 0-3.lf the generated random number is 1, you will stop the music and if the number of participants who are still in the game is n, the participants at position (n/2) will be eliminated. Each time a participant is eliminated, a chair will be removed and you have to print the player names who are still in the game. The game will end when there will be only one participant left. At the end of the game, display the name of the winner. [Hint: You will need to invoke a built-in method to generate a random number between 0 (inclusive) to 3 (inclusive)]arrow_forward

Step 2: Divide your roll number with the generated number in step 1 and take the mod of the result with 25. Step 3: If the result in step 2 is less than 10, add 15 to it to get the board size. Step 4: Create an n x n board and initialize it with empty squares and randomly place items on some squares. Step 5: Create a thread for each player and pass the player's ID and starting position to the thread. Step 6: Each player thread should handle the player's movement and item collection. Step 7: When a player moves onto a square that contains an item, the player thread should send a message to the main thread indicating that the player has collected an item and the item's value.

The salespeople receive $200 per week plus 9% of their gross sales for that week. For example, a salesperson who sells $5,000 worth of merchandise in a week receives $200 plus 9% of $5,000, or a total of $650. You’ve been supplied with a list of the items sold by each salesperson. The values of these items are shown below. Develop a Java application that inputs one salesperson’s items sold for last week and calculates and displays that salesperson’s earnings.

- Language is C++ The purpose of this project is to test your ability to use files, strings (Strings?), and libraries effectively in program design. A popular past-time is the word search puzzle (if you don't believe me, look in your daily paper and in the news stand in the check-out line at the grocery store). In such a puzzle, a grid of letters is presented which presumably contains words. However, the words are cleverly hidden among the other letters. Their camouflage is aided by them being aligned in many different orientations: horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and sometimes even backwards! The person's goal is to find the words and circle each one. Most often the person is also given a list of the words which should be found: apple hananabs pear mpearoap banana npsgrape grape uleapnbm orange aenuraol agrafnel epanqust bananais located backwards across the top row. appledrops down from the last ain banana. pearis forwards from the first pin apple. grapeis on the line below this.…arrow_forwardIf you add up all the digits in 468, you get 4 + 6 + 8 = 18. The square and cube of 468 are 219024 and 102503232, respectively. Interestingly, if you add up the digits of the square or cube, you get 18 again. Are there other integers that share this property?

- Write a Java program that inputs three integer variables (called a, b, and c) that represent the length of the sides of a triangle. Your program should store the type of the triangle in an enumeration variable (called type), and display the value of the variable type. Here are the steps to follow: 1- Defines an enumeration to represent the different triangle types: EQUILATERAL, ISOSCELES, SCALENE, and ERROR. The type ERROR is added in case that the value of any triangle sides is less than or equal to zero. 2- Declare then input the three integer variables a, b, and c using a scanner object called keyboard. 3- Declare the enumeration variable type. 4- Determine the type of the rectangle (i.e. Assign a value to the variable type) 5- Print the value of the variable type. NOTE: If all sides are equal, the rectangle is EQUILATERAL. If only two sides are equal, the rectangle is ISOSCELES, otherwise the rectangle is SCALENE.
