Write a DECIMATOR function that takes a unit of character
and minimizes it (i.e. removes the last 1/10 of characters).
Always zoom in: if a bullet unit has 21 characters, 1/10 of the characters
will be 2.1 characters, so DECIMATOR removes 3 characters. DECIMATOR is not kind!
Examples
decimator ("1234567890") 12 "123456789"
# 10 characters, taken out 1.
decimator ("1234567890AB")
# 12 characters, 2 are released.
"1234567890"
decimator ("123")
"12"
# 3 characters, taken out 1.
decimator ("123456789012345678901")
# 21 characters, issued 3.

Start with a pile of n stones and successively split a pile into two smaller piles until each pile has only one Each time a split happens, multiply the number of stones in each of the two smaller piles. (For example, if a pile has 15 stones and you split it into a pile of 7 and another pile of 8 stones, multiply 7 and 8.) The goal of this problem is to show that no matter how the pile of n stones are split, the sum of the products computed at each split is equal to n(n - 1)/2.
Using strong mathematical induction, prove that no matter how the pile of n stones are split, the sum of the products computed at each split is equal to n(n - 1)/2.

- Rolling a single six-sided die produces a random number between 1 and 6 with a uniform distribution. Rolling two dice produces a number between 2 and 12 with a binomial distribution. In this lab you will simulate a number of dice rolls and graph the number of occurrences of each value. 1) Create a function called rollDie() that takes no parameters, and returns a random value between 1 and 6. Do not seed the random number generator in this function. int rollDie() 2) Create a function called initArray() that takes a data array and the size of the array as parameters and fills each element with the summed results of rolling two dice. Do not assume that the data array has been initialized. void initArray(int data[], int size) 3) Create a function called sortArray() that takes an array and the size of the array as parameters, and sorts the array using the sediment sort. void sortArray(int data[], int size) The sediment sort works as follows: start with the second element in the array if…arrow_forwardA natural number is prime if it is greater than 1 and has no divisors other than 1 and itself.

- Modify the below program that the input values representingfractions are stored with denominators that are positive integers. You cannot require the user to only enter a positive denominator value; the user should not be inconvenienced by such a restriction. For example, whilst values of 1 / -2 are acceptable inputs for a fraction, the output representation should be -1 / 2. Your solution should check the denominator input; if it is negative, swap the sign of both numerator and denominator instance variables. //Import the essential package import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Scanner; //Define the class Fraction class Fraction { private int n, d; public Fraction() { //Initialize the values this.n = this.d = 0; } public Fraction(int n, int d) { //Initialize the variables this.n = n; this.d = d; } //Define the getter function getNum() that returns the numerator public int getNum() {…arrow_forwardWrite a program that uses random function to randomly generate 6 integers between 0 and 99 with 0 and 99 included. Save them in a Bag. Ask a user to make a guess. If the user’s guess is one of the numbers in the Bag, then give user 10 points and remove the number from the Bag. Allow the user to make 10 attempts. Each time give user 10 points if the number user guess is in the Bag. If the Bag is getting emptied before the user reach 10 attempts, then give user an additional 200 points and terminate the program (Game is over!). If the Bag is not empty after the user use up all 10 attempts, then display the user’s score and terminate the program (Game is over!). **Note** I am having trouble figuring out the 10 attempts and random numbers part of the program.arrow_forwardImplement the function total_price, which takes in a list of prices of individual products and needs to find the total price. Unfortunately, any product that is priced greater than or equal to $20 has a 50 percent tax, so include that in the final price. Try to do this in one line! Cast your final answer to an integer to avoid floating point precision errors. For example, if x contains your final answer, return int(x)! def total_price(prices): Finds the total price of all products in prices including a 50% tax on products with a price greater than or equal to 20. >>> total_price ([5, 20, 30, 71) 87 total_price([8, 4, 3]) >>> total_price ([10, 100, 4]) 164 >>> 15 "*** YOUR CODE HERE ***"arrow_forward

Your program should check for the division by 0, have and use the following functions: abs - returns the absolute value of a given integer. min - returns the smallest of two positive integers. gcd - returns the greatest common divisor of two positive integers. reduce - reduces a given fraction. flip - reduces a given fraction and flips the sign if the denominator is negative. the program should run repeatedly until the user wants to quit.arrow_forwardAs the algorithm performs division of numbers with high precision, it is very common to see really big numbers after the period (for example: 1200.2300001), which is not desirable because of several reasons: may cause confusion to some users when they see such big numbers; uses more memory to store a bigger number; it just does not make sense to display currency number in this format. For this reason, you are going to implement a utility function to format any number into the appropriate currency format, using 2 decimal places.
