Tasks: 1. Write a python program that implements the estimation of Pi through a Monte Calo simulation.
Describe how Pi is being estimated in this simulation.
How many iterations do you need to run? In your own words, make a case for when it is a good approximation of Pi.
d. Suggest a method that would accelerate the approximation of Pi. You may either suggest a method that would accelerate the approximation of Pi than the method you described in b, or you may describe two methods and explain which one can accelerate the approximation of Pi than the other one.
Write a C# program that plays a guessing game with the user. Your program should select a random number between 1 and 50 and then let the user try to guess it. The program should continue asking the user for a number until he guesses correctly. (See below for some tips on random numbers). CHALLENGE #1: Modify your program so that it only allows the user 10 guesses, and then declares them to be an inadequate guesser if they haven’t gotten it correct. Your program should output the random number chosen. CHALLENGE #2: Modify your program so that after they guess a number (or get declared inadequate, if you do Challenge #1) that it asks them if they want to play again, and responds accordingly.
Bob is playing a game. He and his team have come up with a plan to throw a ball so that it can hit the target object. The target is at a distance of X meters from Bob. He is at a height of Y meters from the ground and the target is at a height of Z meters from the ground. Bob can throw the ball with a certain speed
Task
Determine the speed that he should throw the ball.
Notes
He is aiming at an angle parallel to the ground.
Assume acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s²
Example
Assumptions
• X = 2
• Y=5
• Z=2
Approach
It can be calculated that he needs to fire at speeds 2.58m/s at an angle parallel to the ground respectively. The answers are taken up to 2 decimal places only. Hence, the answer is 2.58 m/s.
Function description
Complete the solve function provided in the editor. This function takes the following 3 parameters and returns the minimum speed required:
• X Represents an integer denoting the distance of the target from Bob
• Y Represents an integer denoting the height of Bob…

The mean is simply the average of the numbers. The standard deviation is a statistic that tells you how tightly all the various data are clustered around the mean in a set of data. For example, what is the average age of the students in a class? How close are the ages? If all the students are the same age, the deviation is 0. Write a program that prompts the user to enter any number of values into a double array, and then calculates and displays the mean and standard deviations of these numbers using the following formulas: mean)? 2i +x2 + .. + xn i=1 i=1 mean = deviation = п - 1arrow_forward

Scenario: You are creating a text-based adventure game that will give the player a scenario and will allow them to pick a variety of actions that they can perform, which will then lead to another scene with another set of actions. The theme or story of the text-based adventure game will be up to you to decide. You can either base it on an existing story or come up with an original story of your own. If you are basing your story on an existing story, please tweak it or add some unique changes of your own to distinguish your story. Your text-based adventure game should have a minimum of 5 "levels" or "steps" in the story. In other words, the text-based adventure game should allow the player to make 5 actions in a row minimum that will not result in a game over for the player. This means that you can have "game over" states that end after the 1st or 2nd action, but at least one string of actions must have 5 actions…arrow_forwardA junior magician has picked a secret number. He has hidden it in a variable named secret_number. He wants everyone who run his program to play the Guess the secret number game, and guess what number he has picked for them. Those who don't guess the number will be stuck in an endless loop forever! Unfortunately, he does not know how to complete the code. Your task is to help the magician complete the code in the editor in such a way so that the code: will ask the user to enter an integer number; will use a while loop; will check whether the number entered by the user is the same as the number picked by the magician. If the number chosen by the user is different than the magician's secret number, the user should see the message "Ha ha! You're stuck in my loop!" and be prompted to enter a number again. If the number entered by the user matches the number picked by the magician, the number should be printed to the screen, and the magician should say the following words: "Well done,…arrow_forward

Preferred Programming language: JAVA.arrow_forwardA python program that lets the user play the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors against the computer. The program should work as follows: When the program begins, a random number in the range 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 keyboard. 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. (Rock smashes 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. (Paper wraps rock.) If both players make the same choice, the game must be played…arrow_forwardIn this homework assignment, you are going to code a java program which uses random numbers to create a guessing game. This will give you practice with random numbers and loops while allowing you to explore and understand a little more Java code. You will also need to test out this program to ensure the correctness of the algorithm and code. You will need to develop test data that will represent all possible kinds of data that the user may enter. You are going to write a program that allows the user to play a simple guessing game in which your program thinks up an integer between 1 and 100 and allows the user to make guesses until the user gets it right. (The program also counts how many tries it took to get the correct number). For each incorrect guess you will tell the user whether the right answer is higher or lower. Your program is required to exactly reproduce the format and behavior of the log of execution. Program should output: (Sample user output written in bold) This program…arrow_forward

When teaching, I would explain things and if someone in the class didn't understand, I would go over this subject with them again. If everyone understands it I would move onto the next topic. Your goal is to write a class simulator. Follow the steps: 1. Generate a random number between 1 - 3 to represent the number of topics I need to cover that day. 2. Loop through each of these "subjects" 3. Print out the word "Teaching" followed by subject number (numbers 1, 2 or 3) 4. Generate a random number between 1-5 to represent the chance that everyone understands. 5. Print out the word "Understanding" followed by the chance everyone understands. 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until Understanding is at a 5. 7. Repeat steps 2 - 6 until all topics are complete 8. Print "All Done" at the end of the program. This part does not repeat.arrow_forward
