Chapter 4, Problem 15E
Suppose that we want to compute the geometric mean of a list of positive values. To compute the geometric mean of k values, multiply them all together and then compute the kth root of the value. For example, the geometric mean of 2, 5, and 7 is

Develop a solution that will calculate the average temperature, given a set of temperatures. The number of temperatures may differ from time to time. (Use a trip values to stop the processing of the loop.) Test the solution with the following 10 temperatures.

Using one of the loop construct draw:- Twenty vertical lines- Each line of length 150 units(or pixels)- All lines aligned at the same top horizontal margin - Lines 10 units apart each other
Note- The first line and all lines in odd positions(e.g. 1, 3, 5, etc.)should besolid lines- The second line and all lines in even positions(e.g. 2, 4, 6, etc.)should be dashed lines - - Set the length of solid segment to 10 units - - Set the length of the non-visible segment to 5 units
Assumption- Use of Turtle library

•The aim of Part 2 is to set up the puzzle for the player to solve in Part 3.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We are not going to start with 2 empty bottles, but rather with 8 empty slots spread over the 5 bottles as explained in the intro video.
Start with 5 empty bottles. Use a random number generator to fill bottles one slot at a time with the colours while keeping 8 slots empty – there is a total of 5*4 = 20 slots – so if we will 12 slots, 8 are free.
•Advantage: Easy to create a puzzle with a good mix
•Disadvantage: With more colours and bottles and only 2 open bottles for more advanced versions of the game, the result might not be solvable.
Start with three sorted bottles. In the strategy the idea is to load three bottles with uniform colour and then move ink around for a number of moves until the bottles are mixed up.
•Advantage: Result is always solvable since the bottles are created in a reversed-game strategy.
•Disadvantage: It is hard to develop an algorithm which…

Above are the first four pentagonal numbers and their pentagons. The pentagonal number PN has sides made of N dots. When you count the dots for a pentagonal number, include the dots for the inner pentagons. So to figure out how many dots PN has, find out how many P(N-1) has and add the dots for the new sides of size N. P1 = 1, P2 = 5, P3 = 12, P4 = 22 Figure out a recursive formula for PN and then write a function that implements it. That is, implement pentagonal() using recursion. pentagonal(1) -> 1 pentagonal(2) -> 5 pentagonal(3) -> 12arrow_forward
