Question
1) BFS refresher: Suppose you have an n × n chessboard and a knight placed in one of the squares. You
would like to find out the fewest number of moves needed to reach a given target square. Design an algorithm
for this task stated formally below:
Input: An n × n chess board, a starting square S, and a target square T.
Output: The fewest number of moves a knight takes to move from S to T.
Write in Pseudocode, please.

- python please thank youarrow_forwardpython3 problemarrow_forwardCan you help me with this code because i am struggling and I don't know what to do with this part: he Eight Puzzle consists of a 3 x 3 board of sliding tiles with a single empty space. For each configuration, the only possible moves are to swap the empty tile with one of its neighboring tiles. The goal state for the puzzle consists of tiles 1-3 in the top row, tiles 4-6 in the middle row, and tiles 7 and 8 in the bottom row, with the empty space in the lower-right corner. In this section, you will develop two solvers for a generalized version of the Eight Puzzle, in which the board can have any number of rows and columns. We have suggested an approach similar to the one used to create a Lights Out solver in Homework 2, and indeed, you may find that this pattern can be abstracted to cover a wide range of puzzles. If you wish to use the provided GUI for testing, described in more detail at the end of the section, then your implementation must adhere to the recommended interface. However,…arrow_forward

To prove this, let's create a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors. For those not familiar with this game, the basic premise is that each player says "Rock-Paper- Scissors!" and then makes their hand into the shape of one of the three objects. Winners are determined based on the following rules: Rock beats Scissors Scissors beats Paper Paper beats Rock At the start of the program, it will ask the player how many rounds of Rock-Paper- Scissors they want to play. After this, the game will loop for that many number of times. Each loop, it will ask the player what item they want to use – Rock, Paper, or Scissors. The computer will randomly generate its own item, and a winner will be determined. The game will then save the result as an element of an array, and the next round will begin. Once all the rounds have been played, the program will say "Game Over" and display a list of who…arrow_forward

The difficulty is coming up with the conditions that cover all possible cases of this problem exactly right, including all of the potentially tricksy edge and corner cases, without being off-by-one. Given three integers start, end and n so that start <= end, count how many integers between start and end, inclusive, are divisible by n. Sure, you could solve this problem with the list comprehension one-linerreturn len([x for x in range(start, end+1) if x % n == 0]) but of course the automated tester is designed so that anybody trying to solve this problem in such a blunt fashion will only find themselves running out of both time and space! Your code should have no loops at all, but use only integer arithmetic and…arrow_forwardAssume you are playing a card game using a standard 52-card deck.
