Q2: Ginormous Campus
The campus is pretty big. There are n buildings scattered around it, numbered from 0 to n-1. These buildings are so far away from each other that the only way to get from one to another is to take a campus bus.
There are m campus bus routes. The i-th one (0 <= i < m) takes you from building u_i to building v_i (but not the other way around). These buses run very frequently.
Professor Zingaro is deciding where to hold his CS lectures. He believes a building x is accessible from a building y if you can get from y to x taking at most two buses. For his students’ convenience, he wants to hold his lectures in the most accessible building. Help him out by telling him how many buildings the most accessible building is accessible from. In addition, list all buildings that are the most accessible.
Input
The first line of the input contains two space-separated integers n and m, denoting the number of buildings and bus routes, respectively.
m lines follow. The i-th one…
One way to put a list of people into teams is by counting off. For example, if the list of people is:
['paul', 'francois', 'andrew', 'sue', 'steve',
'arnold', 'tom', 'danny', 'nick', 'anna', 'dan',
'diane', 'michelle', 'jeremy', 'karen']
and the number of teams desired is four, then you assign the people to teams 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. like this:
[['paul', 'steve', 'nick', 'michelle'],
['francois', 'arnold', 'anna', 'jeremy'],
['andrew', 'tom', 'dan', 'karen'],
['sue', 'danny', 'diane']]
Write the code for the following function. Do not assume that the list of people will divide evenly into the desired
number of teams. If the list of people does not divide evenly into the desired number of teams, the teams will simply
have unequal sizes. Do not assume that the number of people is at least as large as the number of teams. If there
aren't enough people to cover the teams, some (or even all) teams will simply be empty. Hint: The range function
will be very helpful.

- Imagine a ballroom with two kinds of dancers: leaders and followers. Dancers of both kinds wait in two separate queues before entering the dance floor. When a leader arrives, it checks to see if there is a follower waiting. If so, they can both proceed. Otherwise it waits. Similarly, when a follower arrives, it checks for a leader and either proceeds or waits, accordingly. Make sure that the next pair of leader/follower may dance only after the previous pair is done.Write the pseudocode for leaders and followers that enforces these constraints.arrow_forwardAbstract: the main purpose of this experiment is build real time system using PPI 8255 to control devices connected to.

- A common memory matching game played by young children is to start with a deck of cards that contain identical pairs. For example, given six cards in the deck, two might be labeled 1, two labeled 2, and two labeled 3. The cards are shuffled and placed face down on the table. A player then selects two cards that are face down, turns them face up, and if the cards match, they are left face up. If the two cards do not match, they are returned to their original face down position. The game continues until all cards are face up. Write a program that plays the memory matching game. Use 16 cards that are laid out in a 4 4 square and are labeled with pairs of numbers from 1 to 8. Your program should allow the player to specify the cards that he or she would like to select through a coordinate system. For example, in the following layout: 1 2 3 4 1 8 * * * 2 * * * * 3 * 8 * * 4 * * * * all of the face down cards are indicated by *.

For each digit between 1 to 9, there is one card with that digit on it. Alice and Bob each draw two cards after shuffling the cards, and see the digits on their own cards without revealing the digits to each other. Then Alice gives her two cards to Bob. Bob sees the digits on Alice’s cards and lays all the four cards on the table in increasing order by the digits. Cards are laid facing down. Bob tells Alice the positions of her two cards. The goal of Alice is to guess the digits on Bob’s two cards. Can Alice uniquely determine these two digits and guess them correctly? Input The input has two integers p,q (1≤p<q≤9) on the first line, giving the digits on Alice’s cards. The next line has a string containing two ‘A’s and two ‘B’s, giving the positions of Alice’s and Bob’s cards on the table. It is guaranteed that Bob correctly sorts the cards and gives the correct positions of Alice’s cards.

It is simply a type of substitution cipher, i.e., each letter of a given text is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet. For example, with a shift of 1, A would be replaced by B, B would become C, and so on. The method is apparently named after Julius Caesar, who apparently used it to communicate with his officials. Thus, to cipher a given text we need an integer value, known as a shift which indicates the number of positions each letter of the text has been moved down. The encryption can be represented using modular arithmetic by first transforming the letters into numbers, according to the scheme, A = 0, B = 1 ,…, Z = 25. Encryption of a letter by a shift n can be described mathematically as. En(x) = (x+n) mod 26 (Encryption Phase with shift n) Write an algorithm and implement a program in C to read the data from a file (called…arrow_forward
- 3. Suppose you have been hired to develop a musical chair game. In this game there will be 7 participants and all of them will be moving clockwise around a set of 7 chairs organized in a circular manner while music will be played in the background. You will control the music using random numbers between 0-3.lf the generated random number is 1, you will stop the music and if the number of participants who are still in the game is n, the participants at position (n/2) will be eliminated. Each time a participant is eliminated, a chair will be removed and you have to print the player names who are still in the game. The game will end when there will be only one participant left. At the end of the game, display the name of the winner. [Hint: You will need to invoke a built-in method to generate a random number between 0 (inclusive) to 3 (inclusive)] Use Python languagearrow_forwardIn programming, we use the mask concept to indicate information that can be shown to the user and information that must be “masked”, that is, hidden. In an implementation of a hangman game, we use a mask to indicate which secret word positions the player has already guessed right (whose the contents must therefore be shown to the player), and which positions must remain hidden. Each time that the player hits a letter of the hidden word, the mask is updated so that it has little dashes in the places of letters that the player has not hit yet and show it, in their proper place, the letters that he already hit it. For example, if the word is "cards", the current mask is: - a - - s and the player guesses the letter "d", the mask should be updated to: - a - ds.Write a function called update_mask that takes as input a string containing the word secret (in the example above, this word would be “cards”), a list whose elements are the characters of the current mask (in the example above…arrow_forwardGiven a nested list named table, use nested loops to print each element in the nested list.
