Chapter 22.9, Problem 22.9.2CP
Program Plan Intro
Eight Queen Problem:
- The eight queen problem is to place “8” Queens in “8X8” chessboard such that no queen would attack other one.
- There are possibly “92” solutions. But some of these are reflections or rotations of other.
- There are possibly “12” distinct solutions without any refection or rotation similarities.

You are given a stack of unknown number of cards each of which contains one number. Propose an algorithm for finding the average of the numbers on the cards.
You may only look at one card at a time.
How is this problem different from the previous one?
The puzzle called the Towers of Hanoi consists of three pegs, one of which contains several rings stacked in order of descending diameter from bottom to top.
The problem is to move the stack of rings to another peg. You are allowed to move only one ring at a time, and at no time is a ring to be placed on top of a smaller one. Observe that if the puzzle involved only one ring, it would be extremely easy.
Moreover, when faced with the problem of moving several rings, if you could move all but the largest ring to another peg, the largest ring could then be placed on the third peg, and then the problem would be to move the remaining rings on top of it.
Using this observation, develop a recursive algorithm for solving the Towers of Hanoi puzzle for an arbitrary number of rings.
A wrestling tournament has 256 players. Each match includes 2 players. The winner each match will play another winner in the next round. The tournament is single elimination, so no one will wrestle after they lose. The 2 players that are undefeated play in the final game, and the winner of this match wins the entire tournament. How would you determine the winner?
Here is one algorithm to answer this question. Compute 256/2 = 128 to get the number of pairs (matches) in the first round, which results in 128 winners to go on to the second round. Compute 128/2 = 64, which results in 64 matches in the second round and 64 winners, to go on to the third round. For the third round compute 64/2 = 32, so the third round has 64 matches, and so on. The total number of matches is 128 + 64 + 32+ .... Finish this process to find the total number of matches.

- Trying to solve the 8Qeens problem WITHOUT recursion. Right now I have the following code, for the placing of queens. //search for places to place the queensbool add8Queens(int board[8][8], int column) { while(column<8) { for (int i=0; i<8;i++) { if(isValid( board, i, column)) //checks if no other in row, / or, \ { board[i][column] = 1; column=column+1; i=0; } else board[i][column] = 0; } return true; } } I can get it to correctly print 5 queens in 5 rows as it should but when it comes to the last 3 their is no safe squares so it does not place them. How can I backtrack without the recursion? I have tried a few ways but without sucesss.arrow_forwardSolve using JAVA only Given a square chess board of size N, solve the N queens problem. Print out the number of solutions for a given N. You do not need to print out or produce the actual solutions, only the number of correct solutions. Solve for N between 2 and 8. Try your program with 9 and 10, produce those results if it returns in a reasonable amount of time. The N queens problem is to find every configuration of N queens distributed on an NxN square chess board such that all queens are safe from attack by each other.arrow_forwardBasics of Nested Lists in Python Problem Description Consider an 8 × 8 table for a board game.

Following is the problem statement: There are n people standing in a circle waiting to be executed. The counting out begins at some point (rear) in the circle and proceeds around the circle in a fixed direction. In each step, a certain number (k) of people are skipped and the next person is executed. The elimination proceeds around the circle (which is becoming smaller and smaller as the executed people are removed), until only the last person remains, who is given freedom. Given the total number of persons n and a number k which indicates that k-1 persons are skipped and kth person is killed in circle. The task is to choose the place in the initial circle so that you are the last one remaining and so survive. For example, if n = 5 and k = 2, then the safe position is 3. Firstly, the person at position 2 is killed, then person at position 4 is killed, then person at position 1…arrow_forward
