Program Plan Intro
Starvation:
When more than one process executes in overlapped time period and one of the processes do not get time for its execution to complete, then that particular processes suffers from starvation.
Deadlock:
In a computer system a process utilize resources to execute its instructions. In the condition when the resource required by one process is acquired by the other process and the resource required by the other process is acquired by the first process.

In "Computing Machines and Intelligence," the English mathematician Alan Turing (1912-1954) wrote,
"If each man had a definite set of rules of conduct by which he regulated his life, he would be a machine, but there are no such rules, so men cannot be machines."
Using what you now know about Logic, determine whether this statement make sense and explain. Construct a truth table for Turing's statement and determine if this statement is a tautology.
On an island, a group of people are living until a visitor arrives with an odd directive: everyone with blue eyes must leave the island as quickly as possible. Every evening, a flight will depart at 8:00. Everyone can see the colour of everyone else's eyes, but they are blind to their own (nor is anyone allowed to tell them). They also do not know the number of persons who have blue eyes, but they do know that at least one person has them. How long will it take the folks with blue eyes to leave?
The problem states that there are five philosophers sitting around a circular table. The philosophers must alternatively think and eat.
Each philosopher has a bowl of food in front of them, and they require a fork in each hand to eat. However, there are only five forks available. You need to design a solution where each philosopher can eat their food without causing a deadlock.

- Formal Methods are based on logic reasoning. Conceptually the two most common logics are propositional logic and Predicate Logic. An undergraduate student who took a course of discrete mathematics is inquiring as to how propositional and predicate logics can be used in software testing. You are asked to guide this student in this quest. One pointer may consist in presenting the characteristics and limitations of both logic as well as their use as a mean for software testing. Which Logic is most adequate for formal verification of software and how this should be implemented?arrow_forwardBuild a turing machine with three tracks that add two binary numbers.

Computer science. one maneuver, the robot should move one cell to the left or right, given that it doesn't move beyond the field of play. As such, if the robot was in the cell I, it should move to either the cell i−1 or the cell i+1, as long as it lies among 1 and n (endpoints comprehensive). The cells, in the request they are visited (counting the cell the robot is set), together make a decent way. Every cell I has a worth computer based intelligence related with it. Let c0,c1,… ,ck be the succession of cells in a decent way in the request they are visited (c0 is the cell robot is at first positioned, c1 is the cell where the robot is after its first move, etc; all the more officially, ci is the cell that the robot is at after I moves). Then, at that point, the worth of the way is determined as ac0+ac1+⋯+ack. Your errand is to work out the amount of qualities over all conceivable great ways. Since this number can be…arrow_forward
- On a chess board of r rows and c columns there is a lone white rook surrounded by a group of opponent's black knights. Each knight attacks 8 squares as in a typical chess game, which are shown in the figure - the knight on the red square attacks the 8 squares with a red dot. The rook can move horizontally and vertically by any number of squares. The rook can safely pass through an empty square that is attacked by a knight, but it must move to a square that is not attacked by any knight. The rook cannot jump over a knight while moving. If the rook moves to a square that contains a knight, it may capture it and remove it from the board. The black knights. never move. Can the rook eventually safely move to the designated target square? The figure illustrates how the white rook can move to the blue target square at the top-right corner in the first sample case. The rook captures one black knight at the bottom-right of the board on its way.

At each turn the mouse can move any number of squares in one of the directions up, down, left or right, but it is not allowed to enter (or jump over) any walls (i.e., the black squares). Thus, the mouse moves just like a rook in chess. To eat a fruit, the mouse has to stop at that square. Assume that the maze has 4 fruits, and the size of b xh squares. 1. Give a suitable representatión of the states in this searching problem. 2. How many possible actions can the mouse perform at each move?

Between each pair of philosophers is a single chopstick. A philosopher is in one of the three states: thinking, hungry or eating. At various times, a thinking philosopher gets hungry. A hungry philosopher attempts to pick one of the adjacent chopsticks, then the other (not both at the same time). If the philosopher is able to obtain the pair of chopsticks (they are not already in use), then the philosopher eats for a period of time. After eating, the philosopher puts the chopsticks down and returns to thinking. Write a monitor for the dining philosopher’s problem.arrow_forward

- The Church-Turing thesis tells us that Choose one: a.A mechanical device can be intelligent. b.A mechanical device can process mathematical deduction. c.A computer cannot have a soul.arrow_forwardCorrect answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Computer science. in case there are two planes and a molecule is shot with rot age 3 (towards the right), the cycle is as per the following: (here, D(x) alludes to a solitary molecule with rot age x) the primary plane delivers a D(2) to the left and lets D(3) progress forward to the right; the subsequent plane delivers a D(2) to the left and lets D(3) progress forward to the right; the primary plane lets D(2) forge ahead to the left and creates a D(1) to the right; the subsequent plane lets D(1) progress forward to one side (D(1) can't create any duplicates). Altogether, the last multiset S of particles is {D(3),D(2),D(2),D(1)}. (See notes for visual clarification of this experiment.) Gaurang can't adapt up to the intricacy of the present circumstance when the number of planes is excessively huge. Help Gaurang find the size of the multiset S, given n and k.

Even the complete works of William Shakespeare. Some quotes are truly amazing. Consider the famous quote, "BREVITY IS THE SOUL OF WIT" That's 26 amazing characters. Suppose a monkey is seated in front of a KEYBOARD WITH 28 CHARACTERS (one for each of the 26 letters in the alphabet, plus the space bar, and a comma). Suppose the monkey types only 26 characters completely at random. If X is the number of different 26 character strings it could have typed, then the chances that it typed the quote is one divided by X. What is X?arrow_forward
