CS211 Non-recursive solution for Towers of Hanoi Using the algorithm discussed in class, write an iterative program to solve the Towers of Hanoi problem. The problem: You are given three towers a, b, and c. We start with n rings on tower a and we need to transfer them to tower b subject to the following restrictions: 1. We can only move one ring at a time, and 2. We may never put a larger numbered ring on top of a smaller numbered one. There are always 3 towers. Your program will prompt the user for the number of rings. Here is the algorithm. Definition: A ring is "available" if it is on the top of one of the towers. Definition: The "candidate" is the smallest available ring that has not been moved on the most recent move. The first candidate is ring 1. The Algorithm: 1. Find the candidate. 2. Move the candidate (right or left, depending if the number of rings is odd or even) to the closest tower on which it can be placed. Move "around the circle" if necessary. 3. If not done, go back…

Crossover    and    Mutation    The    two    main    operations    in    evolutionary    computing    are    crossover    and    mutation.    Crossover    works    like    this:    Randomly    choose    two    parents    from    the    population.    Let’s    say    these:    Parent    1:        T        F        T        F        T        T        F    Parent    2:        T        T        T        F        F        T        T    Those    two    parents    will    create    a    child    whose    DNA    is    related    to    the    parents’.    It    works    like    this:    for    each    of    the    seven    genes    in    the    chromosome,    we    will    randomly    pick    a    number    between    1    and    10    and    use    it    to    choose    which    parents’    value    the    child    will    get.    If    the    random    number    is    1    through    5,    we    will    use    Parent    1’s    included    value    for    the    child;    if    it    is    6…
