Chapter 2.3, Problem 2.32PP
Practice Problem 2.32 (solution page 153)
You are assigned the task of writing code for a function tsub_ok, with arguments x and y, that will return 1 if computing x-y does not cause overflow. Having just written the code for Problem 2.30, you write the following:
/* Determine whether arguments can be subtracted without overflow */
/* WARNING: This code is buggy. */
int tsub_ok(int x, int y) {
return tadd_ok(x, -y)
}
For what values of x and y will this function give incorrect results? Writing a
correct version of this function.is left as an exercise (Problem 2.74).

(Perkovic, Problem 6.31b) Write a function testCraps that accepts a positive integer n as an
input, simulates n games and craps, and returns the fraction of games the player won.
⚫ the testCraps function should not make dice rolls directly, instead...
testCraps function should call the craps function repeatedly and keep track of the results
• if you your craps and testCraps function simulate the game correctly without any extra
rolls, you should be able to hit the results below exactly

Problem 3 (Taking User Input)
Write a function called user_input() that takes an integer n as a parameter. This
function should display the integer n to the user and prompt them to enter its equivalent
binary value (the user just has to make a guess here). Your function should return the
user input.
Sample output:
Do you know the binary equivalent of 12345?
> 101111
12345 is the input argument (n) to your function. And your function should return 101111
(user input).

The player selects one of the options listed in a console prompt, then the computer randomly selects an option as well. The winner of the game is determined as follows: Rock beats Scissors - Scissors beats Paper - Paper beats Rock The same selection results in a tie. Your program must do the following: Prompt the player to enter a selection in the console. Provide instructions to user on what is a valid input. For example, you can have the integers 1, 2, and 3 represent the selection, or use the words rock, paper, scissors, etc. Check that the user entered valid input. If the entry is invalid, the program needs to inform the user of the invalid input and can end, or re-prompt the user for their entry. Generate a random selection for the computer's choice.

(Numerical) a. Euclid’s method for finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two positive integers consists of the following steps:Step 1: Divide the larger number by the smaller and retain the remainder.Step 2: Divide the smaller number by the remainder, again retaining the remainder.Step 3: Continue dividing the previous remainder by the current remainder until the remainder is zero, at which point the last non-zero remainder is the GCD. For example, if the two positive integers are 84 and 49, you have the following: Step 1: 84/49 yields a remainder of 35.Step 2: 49/35 yields a remainder of 14.Step 3: 35/14 yields a remainder of 7.Step 3: 14/7 yields a remainder of 0. Therefore, the last non-zero remainder, which is 7, is the GCD of 84 and 49.Using Euclid’s algorithm, replace the stub function written for Exercise 14 with an actual function that determines and returns the GCD of its two integer arguments. thank you…arrow_forwardProblem 4 (Searching a list of Student objects)Write a function called find_by_ID(students, id) that takes a list of student objects(students) and an int (id) as parameters, and returns the student object in the list withthe given id.
