Question
Implementing the game of Chomp in Java where the computer wins if it makes the first move involves creating a program that allows the computer to play optimally to force the opponent (in this case, the human player) into a losing position. You can implement this using a recursive approach or dynamic

- The rectangular board is given. The coordinates of the left upper corner is (x, y) = (1, 1). The chess knight is located in the cell (10, 6). You must relocate it to the cell (2, 16). The knight can move only either two cells up and one right, or one cell up and two cells right. Find the number of knight paths from (10, 6) to (2, 16). Please write in javaarrow_forwardA chess knight, on one turn, moves either two squares vertically and one horizontally, or two horizontally and one vertically. If we consider a knight starting at the point ⟨x, y⟩ in Z × Z, it has eight possible moves, to ⟨x+1,y+2⟩,⟨x+1,y−2⟩,⟨x−1,y+2⟩,⟨x−1,y−2⟩,⟨x+ 2, y + 1⟩, ⟨x + 2, y − 1⟩, ⟨x − 2, y + 1⟩, or⟨x − 2, y − 1⟩. (a) Prove that given any two points ⟨x, y⟩ and ⟨x′, y′⟩ in Z × Z, there is a sequence of knight moves from the first point to the second. (b) Let a and b be different positive naturals. An (a, b)-knight also has eight possible moves, from ⟨x,y⟩ to ⟨x±a,y±b⟩ or ⟨x±b,y±a⟩. What conditions on a and b allow the (a, b)-knight to go from any point in Z × Z to any other? Prove your answer. (c) If a and b do not meet the conditions of part (b), exactly which points can the (a,b)- knight reach from ⟨x, y⟩arrow_forwardWrite a Java program (Hangman.java) to play the classic word game Hangman. In the game, a word is randomly selected from an array of possible words. Then, the user is prompted to guess letters in the word one at a time. When the user makes a correct guess, all instances of that letter in the word are shown. When all letters in the word have been guessed, the game ends and the score (number of missed guesses) is displayed. A user can play the game multiple times if they choose. Here is a sample run of a correct program (user input indicated by orange text):Enter a letter in word ******** > cEnter a letter in word c******* > rEnter a letter in word c******r > s s is not in the wordEnter a letter in word c******r > tEnter a letter in word c****t*r > mEnter a letter in word c*m**t*r > t t is already in the wordEnter a letter in word c*m**t*r > pEnter a letter in word c*mp*t*r > oEnter a letter in word comp*t*r > eEnter a letter in word comp*ter >…arrow_forward
- In Python, Solve the locker riddle which reads as follows:Imagine 100 lockers numbered 1 to 100 with 100 students lined up in front of those 100lockers:The first student opens every locker.The second student closes every 2nd locker.The 3rd student changes every 3rd locker; if it’s closed, she opens it; if it’s open, she closes it.The 4th student changes every fourth locker (e.g., 4th, 8th, etc.).The 5th student changes every 5th locker (e.g., 5th, 10th, etc.).That same pattern continues for all 100 students. Which lockers are left open after all 100 students have walked the rowof lockers?arrow_forwardWrite a program to build a calculator. Instead of a typical calculator which reads in-order expressions and evaluates them, build a calculator that takes in numbers and assigns the operations to yield the highest value expression. The current operations on the calculator only handle pairs of parentheses, and the operators for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The calculator can rearrange the numbers if it helps find the optimal value. For example, the list:4.0 5.0 3.0 2.0 1.0using the calculator should find the optimal expression yielding the maximum value to be:4.0 * 5.0 * 3.0 * (2.0 + 1.0) = 180Input from the keyboard a list of up to 10 floating-point values from-100000.0to100000.0. Output to the screen a single floating-point value rounded to two decimal places representing the highest value expression that the calculator could create by inserting the symbols( ) + - * /into the given expression. Assume at least one number in the list and only the operators listed…arrow_forwardWrite a Java procedural program that helps organise travellers with a specific travel company arriving at an airport, telling them which queue to join based on their hotel. The program asks each traveller what their hotel is (the choices are the Seaview for which they need to join Queue 1, the Majestic for which they need to join Queue 4 and the Grand for which they need to join Queue 7) and tells them the right queue. There are 1330 travellers with the tour company and each will use the program as they arrive. After all have indicated their hotel, the program then prints the percentage in each hotel. * See image for an example run of the program. Percentages should be printed truncated to two decimal places. Do this using a method you write yourself that multiplies by 100, converts to an integer then divides by 100. * must make use of a counter-controlled for loop, be in procedural programming style (not OOP)arrow_forward
- JAVA Phone numbers and PIN codes can be easier to remember when you find words that spell out thenumber on a standard phone pad. For example, instead of remembering the combination 5282,you can just think of JAVA.Write a recursive method that, given a number, yields all possible spellings (which may or maynot be real words).arrow_forwardWrite a Non tail recursion and a tail recursion method in Java with a test class that does the following: The factorial of a positive integer n —which we denote as n!—is the product of n and the factorial of n 1. The factorial of 0 is 1. Write two different recursive methods in Java that each return the factorial of n.

The program should work as follows. When the program begins, a random number is ranged of 1 through 3 is generated. If the number is 1, then the computer has chosen rock. If the number is 2, then the computer has chosen paper, If the number is 3, then the computer has chosen scissors. (Don’t display the computer’s choice yet.) The user enters his or her choice of “rock”, “paper”, or “scissors” at the key-board. (You can use a menu if you prefer.) The computer’s choice is displayed. A winner is selected according to the following rules: If one player chooses rock and the other player chooses scissors, then rock wins. (The rock smashes the scissors.) If one player chooses scissors and the other player chooses paper, then scissors wins. (Scissors cuts paper.) If one player chooses paper and the other player chooses rock, then paper wins.…arrow_forward
- Write a FULL Java procedural program for one human player to play a “Higher or Lower” card game. In this game, each card has a value from 1..10 inclusive. There are 4 of each value in the deck, i.e., 40 cards in total. Cards are not replaced in the deck once drawn, i.e., no more than 4 of each value will be drawn. The program starts by asking the player for a target score. The game proceeds in a series of rounds with the program repeatedly drawing and showing a card from the deck to the player one at a time. Each time, it asks the player to enter "h" (higher) or "l" (lower) to guess whether the next card drawn will be higher or lower in value. The player gains a point if they guess correctly. The game continues until the player guesses incorrectly or the target score is reached. When the game ends, it prints either a "You win!" or a "Nice try, you scored …” message as illustrated below. The image provided shows two examples of the required program behaviour: (bold is keyboard input…arrow_forwardThe birthday paradox says that the probability that two people in a room will have the same birthday is more than half, provided n, the number of people in the room, is more than 23. This property is not really a paradox, but many people find it surprising. Design a Java program that can test this paradox by a series of experiments on randomly generated birthdays, which test this paradox for n = 5, 10, 15, 20, ..., 100.arrow_forwardPlease help me solve this with java .... just the HangMan HangMan instruction class : • HangMan is a game in which a player tries to guess a word based on a given hint. For example, if the given hint is “movie”, then the player must guess a movie name. If the given hint is a “country”, then the player must guess a country name, and so on.• The game starts by showing a message on the screen that shows the hint and all letters in the word but obscured as dashes (-). Then, the game will allow the player to guess 5 letters. If the player gives a letter that actually exists in the word, then this letter will be revealed. Afterwards, the game will ask the player to give the answer. If the given answer is correct, then the game will show a message that the player has won 5 points. Otherwise, the game will show a message that the player has lost. Below is one possible game scenario, in which the word is “iron man”, and the hint is “movie”.
