(Bin packing with smallest object first) The bin packing problem is to pack the objects of various weights into containers. Assume each container can hold a maximum of 10 pounds. The
Enter the number of objects: 6
Enter the weights of the objects: 7 5 2 3 5 8
Container 1 contains objects with weight 2 3 5
Container 2 contains objects with weight 5
Container 3 contains objects with weight 7
Container 4 contains objects with weight 8
Does this program produce an optimal solution, that is, finding the minimum number of containers to pack the objects?

- Problem Description: In the Whimsical Library, each book is enchanted with a magical code to ensure the protection of knowledge. The validation process for these magical codes involves a combination of mathematical spells. The validation process is described as follows: Take the sum of the digits at odd positions from left to right. Take the sum of the squared digits at even positions from left to right. If the absolute difference between the results from step 1 and step 2 is a prime number, the book code is considered valid; otherwise, it is invalid. Example 1: Consider the magical book code 86420137. Step 1. Take the sum of the digits at odd positions from left to right. 8+4+0+3=15 Step 2. Take the sum of the squared digits at even positions from left to right. 6^2+2^2+1^2+7^2=36+4+1+49 = 90 Step 3. If the absolute difference between the results from step 1 and step 2 is a prime number. 115-901 75 (not a prime number) Book code 86420137 is invalid.

Valid test score entries are between 0 and 100 inclusive. The program should display a welcome message and run everything through the "main" function. have the ability to enter several test scores (try a loop) and print out the total score, as well as, the average score. continuously ask for test scores until the number 99.9 has been entered. test for valid entries and the value 99.9. If a test score is valid, the program should add the current score to the total score and update the number of test scores by one (+1), otherwise it displays an error message. Note : This assignment involves the use of a while loop and if-else decision making controls. You CANNOT use the reserved keywords break and continue for any portion of this program or any program for that matter throughout this course.arrow_forward
- Background: Game Rules The rules to the (dice) game of Pig: You will need 2 dice. To Play: a. The players each take turns rolling two die. b. A player scores the sum of the two dice thrown (unless the roll contains a 1): If a single number 1 is thrown on either die, the score for that whole turn is lost (referred to as “Pigged Out”). A 1 on both dice is scored as 25. c. During a single turn, a player may roll the dice as many times as they desire. The score for a single turn is the sum of the individual scores for each dice roll. d. The first player to reach the goal score wins unless a player scores higher subsequently in the same round. Therefore, everyone in the game must have the same number of turns.

As part of her evaluation, she asks members for the number of fat grams and carbohydrate grams that they consumed in a day. Then, she calculates the number of calories that result from the fat, using the following formula: calories from fat = fat grams x 9. Next, she calculates the number of calories that result from the carbohydrates, using the following formula: calories from carbs = carb grams x 4. Write a program that will make these calculations. Your program should use two separate functions to calculate fat and carb calories. Write a 3rd function that is called from main to capture user input and call the others.arrow_forward
- Speed Detector (Toy Problem) Write a program that takes as input the speed of a car e.g 80. If the speed is less than 70, it should print “Ok”. Otherwise, for every 5 km/s above the speed limit (70), it should give the driver one demerit point and print the total number of demerit points. For example, if the speed is 80, it should print: “Points: 2”. If the driver gets more than 12 points, the function should print: “License suspended”.arrow_forwardC# (Guess the Number Game) Write a program that plays “guess the number” as follows: Your program chooses the number to be guessed by selecting an int at random in the range 1–1000. The program then displays the following text in a label: A TextBox should be used to input the guess. As each guess is input, the background color should change to red or blue. Red indicates that the user is getting “warmer,” blue that the user is getting “colder.” A Label should display either “Too High” or “Too Low,” to help the user zero in on the correct answer. When the user guesses the correct answer, display “Correct!” in a message box, change the Form’s background color to green and disable the TextBox. Recall that a TextBox (like other controls) can be disabled by setting the control’s Enabled property to false. Provide a Button that allows the user to play the game again. When the Button is clicked, generate a new random number, change the background to the default color and enable the TextBox.arrow_forwardOptimal Cost of a cylindrical container Suppose that you work for a beverage company. The company wants to know the optimal cost for a cylindrical container that holds a specified volume. Write a program that asks the user to enter the volume and radius of the cylinder. Compute and display the height and cost of the cylindrical container. Use the following formulas, where V is the volume, R is the radius, H is the height, and C is the cost of the cylindrical container. H =V / (PI * R2) C = 2*PI*R*(R + H) Note: PI=3.14159 Sample Run: Enter the volume and the radius of the cylinder: 16.5 3.2 The Height of the cylinder is: 0.51290 The cost of the cylindrical container is: 74.65226arrow_forward
