Sentinel:
Sentinel is used to hold special values to indicate that no additional values can be entered by the user. It means when a sentinel value is entered by the user, the program or loop control will be terminated. It is a value to indicate the user that the last grade of values has been entered.

ASSIGNMENT BRIEF
Introduction
Roulette is a popular casino game named after the French word for 'little wheel'. In the game, players
may choose to place bets on single numbers or various groupings which will determine their payout.
To determine the winning number a ball is spun in the opposite direction of a spinning wheel. As the
ball loses momentum it comes to rest in one of the slots of the wheel.
Winnings are then paid to anyone who places a successful bet.

Numbers can be classified in several ways:
1. Red or Black
2. Odd or Even
3. High or Low - if a number is in the first half of the table it is considered low (1-18).
If a number is in the second half of the table, it is considered high (19-36).
4. Dozens - a number can be in the first dozen(1-12), second dozen (13-24) or third dozen (25-36)
5. Columns - A number may be in any of the three columns of the table
6. Zero - the number '0'…
check_game_over(): as the name suggests, this function should check to see if the game is over (if one side has no stones left in all of its pockets). It takes as an argument the game board and should return True if the game is over and False otherwise.

For example, starting with n = 5, we get the sequence 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1. If n is 6, we get the sequence 6, 3, 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1. If n is 7, we get 7, 22, 11, 34, 17, 52, 26, 13, 40, 20, 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1. If n is 8, we get the sequence 8, 4, 2, 1. As far as anyone can tell, this process will eventually reach 1 for any starting value, although mathematicians have been unable to formally prove this property as of yet. a.

Each score's name is based on the actual strokes taken compared to par: "Eagle": number of strokes is two less than par "Birdie": number of strokes is one less than par "Par": number of strokes equals par "Bogey": number of strokes is one more than par Given two integers that represent par and the number of strokes used, write a program that prints the appropriate score name.

The value for n which should be set in the program using a constant should be 50,000. Each process will test its share of the cases. Each process should not print out any primes that it finds, but it should keep a running total. Before the process finishes, it should print out its ID number and its count of primes that it found. The master process should end with printing a total for the count of the number of primes and the total amount of time taken to find all the primes. Take a screenshot of the output for running this with 5 processes. Before submission, make sure you clean up the directories so that no miscellaneous files are kept around in the submission.
