Assume you are playing a card game using a standard 52-card deck. You are dealt a hand of cards that are all the same suit, hearts. You are dealt first a 5, then a 3, then 8, and finally 4. You first grab the 8. Next you grab the 5 and place it in front of the 8. Then you take the 4 and place it in front of the 5. Finally, you take the 3 and place it in front of the 4. Which sorting algorithm is most similar to how you sorted your hand?Group of answer choices

A video player plays a game in which the character competes in a hurdle race. Hurdles are of varying heights, and the characters have a maximum height they can jump. There is a magic potion they can take that will increase their maximum jump height by unit for each dose. How many doses of the potion must the character take to be able to jump all of the hurdles. If the character can already clear all of the hurdles, return .
Example
The character can jump unit high initially and must take doses of potion to be able to jump all of the hurdles.
Function Description

This challenge is based on the classic videogame "Snake".
Assume the game screen is an n * n square, and the snake starts the game
with length 1 (i.e. just the head) positioned on the top left corner.
For example, if n = 7 the game looks something like this:
BEGINNING
In this version of the game, the length of the snake doubles each time it eats
food (e.g. if the length is 4, after eating it becomes 8).
Create a function that takes the siden of the game screen and returns the
number of times the snake can eat before it runs out of space in the game
screen.

- Python tic tac toe. Tic tac toe is a very popular game. Only two players can play at a time. Game Rules Traditionally the first player plays with "X". So you can decide who wants to go with "X" and who wants to go with "O". Only one player can play at a time. If any of the players have filled a square then the other player and the same player cannot override that square. There are only two conditions that may match will be a draw or may win. The player that succeeds in placing three respective marks (X or O) in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row wins the game. Winning condition Whoever places three respective marks (X or O) horizontally, vertically, or diagonally will be the winner. Submit your code and screenshots of your code in action. Hints : Have a function that draws the board Have a function that checks position if empty or not Have a function that checks player or won or not expected output:arrow_forwardBob is playing a game. He and his team have come up with a plan to throw a ball so that it can hit the target object. The target is at a distance of X meters from Bob. He is at a height of Y meters from the ground and the target is at a height of Z meters from the ground. Bob can throw the ball with a certain speed Task Determine the speed that he should throw the ball. Notes He is aiming at an angle parallel to the ground. Assume acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s² Example Assumptions • X = 2 • Y=5 • Z=2 Approach It can be calculated that he needs to fire at speeds 2.58m/s at an angle parallel to the ground respectively. The answers are taken up to 2 decimal places only. Hence, the answer is 2.58 m/s. Function description Complete the solve function provided in the editor. This function takes the following 3 parameters and returns the minimum speed required: • X Represents an integer denoting the distance of the target from Bob • Y Represents an integer denoting the height of Bob…arrow_forwardA fish-finder is a device used by anglers to find fish in a lake. If the fish-finder finds a fish, it will sound an alarm. It uses depth readings to determine whether to sound an alarm. For our purposes, the fish-finder will decide that a fish is swimming past if:there are four consecutive depth readings which form a strictly increasing sequence (such as 3 4 7 9) (which we will call "Fish Rising"), orthere are four consecutive depth readings which form a strictly decreasing sequence (such as 9 6 5 2) (which we will call "Fish Diving"), orthere are four consecutive depth readings which are identical (which we will call "Constant Depth").All other readings will be considered random noise or debris, which we will call "No Fish."Create a Python program called "fishfinder_firstname_lastname" that takes 1 input of string of 4 numbers separated with comma. Your program must display "Fish Rising", "Fish Diving.", "Fish At Constant Depth" or "No Fish".Example:30,10,20,20 Must display No…arrow_forward

Computer science. You have w white dominoes (2×1 tiles, the two cells are hued in white) and b dark dominoes (2×1 tiles, the two cells are shaded in dark). You can put a white domino on the board in case both board's cells are white and not involved by some other domino. Similarly, you can put a dark domino if the two cells are dark and not involved by some other domino. Would you be able to put all w+b dominoes on the board if you can put dominoes both on a level plane and in an upward direction?

Each step, you may only walk into one of the four neighbouring squares (up, down, left, right) and you cannot walk into obstacles or walk into a square more than once. When you finish, you can get a number by writing down the digits you encounter in the same order as you meet them. For example, you can get numbers 9784, 4832145, etc. The biggest number you can get is 791452384, shown in the picture above. Your task is to find the biggest mumber you can get. Input There will be at most 25 test cases. Each test begins with two integers R and C (2 < R,C < 15, R+C < 30), the number of rows and columns of the maze. The next R rows represent the maze.

Each player’s goal is to get 100 points rolled on a normal six-sided die first. Each turn consists of rolling the die repeatedly until you decide to stop or until you roll a 1. For each roll: • If you roll a 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 –you will add the amount rolled to your score.• If you roll a 1 – your turn ends and you receive zero points for that entire turn (You will keep whatever points you had before your turn started)• If you decide to stop rolling at any point in your turn, your points for that turn are then added to the overall score. The overall score is then safe from future rolls.Use functions to break apart the code into logical portionsarrow_forward
- plz solve it asap ????????: Write a program for a game that consists of two players. The rule of the game is that player 1 inputs a random number from 1-100. Player 2 will input 5 numbers. If the summation of those numbers is equal to the number OR less than or greater than the number by 3 (+3 or -3), then player 2 wins. Otherwise, player 1 wins. Test Case 1 Input Player 1, enter a number: 50 Player 2, enter a number: 10 Player 2, enter a number: 10 Player 2, enter a number: 20 Player 2, enter a number: 5 Player 2, enter a number: 7 Output Player 2 wins Explanation: The summation of 10,10,20,5 and 7 is 52 which is greater than 50 by 2. According to the rule, player 2 wins. Test Case 2 Input Player 1, enter a number: 50 Player 2, enter a number: 10 Player 2, enter a number: 10 Player 2, enter a number: 20 Player 2, enter a number: 5 Player 2, enter a number: 1 Output Player 1 wins Explanation: The summation of 10,10,20,5 and 1 is 46 which is less than 50 and also doesn’t…arrow_forwardIn cpp Room contains nx n cubes (in rows and in columns). Each cube is white or black. You can get out of a white cube by going in one of the four directions horizontally or vertically (but you can't go outside the room). You can enter a black cube, but you can't exit it. There is a mouse and a piece of cheese in the room. The mouse is in a cube (0,0) - white, and the cheese in a cube (n-1, n-1) - black. The mouse can move from cube to cube according to the rules described above. Write a program that finds all the ways in which the mouse can move to the cheese, and if any, display it with ‘*’.arrow_forward"You have been asked to create a guessing game with four players. The players will be asked to guess which word will be selected next and earn points for each correct guess." The game works as follows: First: At the start of the game: Each of the four players is asked to enter their name and the amount of money they wish to bet on the game (only positive values less than $100 are allowed). The total of all four bets is the price money for the game. •The players will be asked to select which set of words they wish to use for the game. The options are: Fruit Colors Animals Each set of words must have at least seven options (You may choose your own words for each set). Once the players select a set of words the computer will display the full list of options. For example: You have selected the Fruit word set. The possible words are: Apple, Orange, Banana, Kiwi, Strawberry, Grape, Cherry Second: Each game will consist of seven rounds. Each round goes as follows: Each player is…arrow_forward
