Consider the following state for the 8-queens problem with heuristic h = number of pairs of queens that are attacking each other. What is the value of 'h' for the state obtained by moving the queen in the left-most column (circled) to the location marked X?

Does placing a Queen in the first cell (cell marked with Q in the image) yield a solution to N-Queen’s problem? Provide a statement to support your answer
In a game of tic-tac-toe, two players take turnsmarking an available cell in a 3 x 3 grid with their respective tokens (either Xor O). When one player has placed three tokens in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonalrow on the grid, the game is over and that player has won. A draw (no winner)occurs when all the cells on the grid have been filled with tokens and neitherplayer has achieved a win. Create a program for playing a tic-tac-toe game.The program prompts two players to alternately enter an X token and O token.Whenever a token is entered, the program redisplays the board on the console anddetermines the status of the game (win, draw, or continue). Here is a sample run:
| Consider the elliptic curve group based on the equation y? = x' + ax + b mod p where a = 4, b = 1, and p = 7. This curve contains the point P = (0, 1). The order of this elliptic curve group is the prime number 5, and therefore we can be sure that P is a primitive element. Another element in this group is Q = (0,6). The index of Q with respect to P is the least positive integer d such that Q = dP. What is d, the index of Q?
There are m towns in a straight line, with a road joining each pair of consecutive towns. Legends say that an ordinary person in one of these towns will become a hero by completing a sequence of n quests. The first quest will be completed in their home town, but after each quest they may complete their next quest either in the same town or after moving to a neighbouring town.For example, if n = 5 and m = 4, a resident of town 2 may become a hero as follows:• begin in town 2 for quest 1,• then move to town 3 for quest 2,• stay in town 3 for quest 3,• return to town 2 for quest 4, and• move to town 1 for quest 5.Design an algorithm which runs in O(nm) time and finds the total number of waysto complete n quests.
The method is based on a population consisting of n vectors6 x0(k), . . . , xn(k), kis the generation/iteration of a method. In this section then notation x(i) is the ithelement of vector x.The basic method depends on Which parameters
In a school, students of 5th Grade are going for a picnic. For a particular game between 10 players, they needs to be organized in the ascending order of their height. Teacher selects a one random student out of 10. That student acts as a mediator, all students having height less than mediator goes on left and rest on his right. The same process repeats again between the left and right group. The process continues and will stop when all the players are in ascending order of their height. Signify which sorting algorithm can be helpful to design this model and how. What additional functionality can you add to this. Implement the given model. Write a C program for that and this program take user input like his/her name, height etc.
Correct answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Today we will play a red and white shading game (no, this isn't the Russian Civil War; these are only the shades of the Canadian banner). You are given a n×m matrix of "R", "W", and "." characters. "R" is red, "W" is white and "." is clear. The neighbors of a cell are those that share an edge with it (those that main offer a corner don't count). Your responsibility is to shading the clear cells red or white so every red cell just has white neighbors (and no red ones) and each white cell just has red neighbors (and no white ones). You are not permitted to recolour currently hued cells. Input The primary line contains t (1≤t≤100), the number of experiments. In each experiment, the principal line will contain n (1≤n≤50) and m (1≤m≤50), the tallness and width of the network separately. The following n lines will contain the matrix. Each character of the matrix is either 'R', 'W', or '.'. Output For each experiment,…
Consider a game in which two players take turns removing any positive number of matches they want from one of two piles of matches. The player who removes the last match wins the game. Show that if the two piles contain the same number of matches initially, the second player can always guarantee a win.
You are given a N*N maze with a rat placed at maze[0][0]. Find whether any path exist that rat can follow to reach its destination i.e. maze[N-1][N-1]. Rat can move in any direction ( left, right, up and down).Value of every cell in the maze can either be 0 or 1. Cells with value 0 are blocked means rat cannot enter into those cells and those with value 1 are open.Input FormatLine 1: Integer NNext N Lines: Each line will contain ith row elements (separated by space)Output Format :The output line contains true if any path exists for the rat to reach its destination otherwise print false.Sample Input 1 :31 0 11 0 11 1 1Sample Output 1 :trueSample Input 2 :31 0 11 0 10 1 1Sample Output 2 : false Solution: //// public class Solution { public static boolean ratInAMaze(int maze[][]){ int n = maze.length; int path[][] = new int[n][n]; return solveMaze(maze, 0, 0, path); } public static boolean solveMaze(int[][] maze, int i, int j, int[][] path) {//…
