Chapter 1, Problem 8PP
Consider a robot that has been placed in a maze. The right-hand rule tells you how to escape from a maze: Always have the right hand next to a wall, and eventually you will find an exit. The robot can:
- Move forward by one unit.
- Turn left or right.
- Sense what is in front of it: a wall, an exit, or neither.

A number maze is a k ×k grid of positive integers. A token starts in the upper left corner and your goal is to move the token to the lower-right corner. On each turn, you are allowed to move the token up, down, left, or right; the distance you may move the token is determined by the number on its current square. For example, if the token is on a square labeled 3, then you may move the token exactly three steps up, three steps down, three steps left, or three steps right. However, you are never allowed to move the token off the edge of the board. Design and analyze an algorithm that in O(k2) time determines if there is a way to move the token in the given number maze or not.
It has been said that a monkey pushing keys a random on a typewriter could produce the works of Shakespeare, given enough time. you can simulate this by having a program select and display letters at random. count the number of letters typed until the program produces one of these two-letter words: at, is, he, we, up, or on. When one of these words is produced, stop the program and display the total number of letters typed. (hint: Choose a letter by selecting a random integer number between 1 and 26.)
A robot starts on a point marked “A” on a rectangular grid of points. The starting point is always the top left point on the grid. The robot can move left, right, up or down, moving from one point to the next. By moving in steps going left, right, up or down, the robot would like to reach a point marked “B”, which is always the bottom right point in the grid.
Sometimes, points are marked as “x”, and the robot is not allowed to visit them at all. A robot is never allowed to visit a point more than once.
In how many ways can the robot move from A to B and visit all points along the way?
For example, in the following grid, represented in text as
A . .
. . B
there is only one path from A to B:
In the following grid, represented in text as
A . .
x x B
there is still only one path (we're lucky because of the two x's):
However, in the grid
A . .
. x B
there are no ways for the robot to move from A to B and visit all points that are not marked with “x”.

- The two friend Alpha and Beta have invented a new game called Coins&Papers. The game is played with their coins and a strip of paper divided into cells. The cells are numbered from the left, starting from 1. Alpha and Beta put some coins at some random cells on the strip, each coin in a cell. They alternatively take their turn to play the game. At each step, a player must take a coin and move it to a cell to the left of it. There is at most one coin in a cell at any time of the game. Of course, a coin cannot jump over another coin. Whoever cannot move loses the game. Beta takes her turn first. Develop a python code to find out who wins the game, if Beta could win the game, show her a winning move. If there are several winning moves, show her the winning move that uses the leftmost possible coin. If there are still several moves, show her the move that moves the coin as far as possible to the left. Sample Input: 1arrow_forwardThe 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).

Utilization of the balance in each instance You may place any number of the 12 balls on the left pan and the same number on the right pan, and then press a button to begin weighing; there are three potential outcomes: the weights are equal, the balls on the left are heavier, or the balls on the left are lighter. Create a technique for determining which ball is the odd one out and whether it is heavier or lighter than the others using the balance in the fewest feasible instances. Solve the issue of weighing 39 balls, one of which is known to be odd.arrow_forward

If the fish-finder finds a fish, it will sound an alarm. It uses depth readings to determine whether to sound an alarm. For our purposes, the fish-finder will decide that a fish is swimming past if:there are four consecutive depth readings which form a strictly increasing sequence (such as 3 4 7 9) (which we will call "Fish Rising"), orthere are four consecutive depth readings which form a strictly decreasing sequence (such as 9 6 5 2) (which we will call "Fish Diving"), orthere are four consecutive depth readings which are identical (which we will call "Constant Depth").All other readings will be considered random noise or debris, which we will call "No Fish."Create a Python program called "fishfinder_firstname_lastname" that takes 1 input of string of 4 numbers separated with comma.

- Coupon collector is a classic statistic problem with many practical applications. The problem is to pick objects from a set of objects repeatedly and determine how many picks are needed for all the objects to be picked at least once. A variation of the problem is to pick cards from a shuffled deck of 52 cards repeatedly and find out how many picks are needed before you see one of each suit. Assume a picked card is placed back in the deck before picking another. Write a program to simulate the number of picks needed to get four cards from each suit and display the four cards picked (it is possible that a card may be picked twice).arrow_forwardChildren often play a memory game in which a deck of cards containing matching pairs is used. The cardsare shuffled and placed face down on a table. The players then take turns and select two cards at a time.If both cards match, they are left face up; otherwise, the cards are placed face down at the same positions.Once the players see the selected pair of cards and if the cards do not match, then they can memorize thecards and use their memory to select the next pair of cards. The game continues until all the cards areface up. Write a program to play the memory game. Use a two-dimensional array of 4 rows and 4 columnsfor a deck of 16 cards with 8 matching pairs. You can use numbers 1 to 8 to mark the cards. (If you use a6 by 6 array, then you will need 18 matching pairs, and so on.) Use random number generators torandomly store the pairs in the array. Use appropriate functions in your program, and the main programshould be merely a call to functions.

Assume the game screen is an n * n square, and the snake starts the game with length 1 (i.e. just the head) positioned on the top left corner. For example, if n = 7 the game looks something like this: BEGINNING In this version of the game, the length of the snake doubles each time it eats food (e.g. if the length is 4, after eating it becomes 8). Create a function that takes the siden of the game screen and returns the number of times the snake can eat before it runs out of space in the game screen.

- You are given an instance of a problem where you have an n x n grid of squares. Each square can be unpainted or can have a hole, so you cannot go on the square with a hole. The objective is to paint all the squares that do not have a hole. You start in the square (0,0) which is unpainted. The actions you can do are: (1) paint the square you are on if it is not painted; (2) move, either vertically or horizontally, to an adjacent square inside the grid that is not painted and does not have a hole. a. Describe a state-space representation for the problem, specifying the state representation, the initial state, the goal condition, and the actions. b. Is the state space finite? Is it a tree or a graph? c. Propose a heuristic for the problem. Is your heuristics admissible or not? Explain briefly your answerarrow_forwardYou have N magical bags of candies in front of you. The ith bag has A; candies in it. It takes you one minute to finish a bag of candies, no matter how many candies are in it. Every time you finish a bag with X candies in it, the bag is magically replenished with X/2 (rounded down to the nearest integer) more candies. Write an algorithm that determines the maximum number of candies you can eat in K minutes. Also determine the time complexity of your algorithm in the worst case situation. The input is a sequence of integers. The first integer N is the number of bags. The next integer K is the number of minutes you have. The next N integers is the number of candies in the bags. The output of your program is a single integer which represents the maximum number of candies you can eat. If the input is 5 3 2 1 7 4 2. the output would be 14.arrow_forwardIn cpp Room contains nx n cubes (in rows and in columns). Each cube is white or black. You can get out of a white cube by going in one of the four directions horizontally or vertically (but you can't go outside the room). You can enter a black cube, but you can't exit it. There is a mouse and a piece of cheese in the room. The mouse is in a cube (0,0) - white, and the cheese in a cube (n-1, n-1) - black. The mouse can move from cube to cube according to the rules described above. Write a program that finds all the ways in which the mouse can move to the cheese, and if any, display it with ‘*’.arrow_forward
