Program Plan Intro
Creation of main method to compute a value to find greatest puzzler
Program Plan:
- Define a method “shoot()” for simulation of a single shot.
- It simulates shooting at “targetAlive” with given “accuracy”.
- It generates a random number in between 0 and 1.
- If random number goes less than “accuracy”, target is hit also “targetAlive” is set to false.
- Define a method “startDuel()” for duel simulation.
- Declare variables used in function.
- Call “shoot()” method to simulate entire duel with this strategy.
- It loops until one contestant remains.
- It invokes shoot function with value for target as well as probability for hitting target.
- It returns a value that indicates the winner of duel.
- Define the main method.
- Declare variables required for the function.
- Call method “startDuel()” to simulation of a duel.
- It returns a value that indicates the winner of duel.
- It updates values for winners.
- Display values of percentages of win.

Kingdom of Trolls is celebrating their Kingdom Day and one of the activities that is taking place is a game
where a player rolls a magic ball down the hill on a path with spikes. As the ball rolls down, it strikes a spike
and bursts open to release a number of smaller balls (in our simulated game, the number of smaller balls is a
randomly generated integer between 2 and 6, inclusive). As the smaller balls further roll down, when one
strikes a spike, that ball and all its sibling balls burst and each generates another set of smaller balls (using the
same random number already generated for the first roll). The balls keep rolling downhill and striking spikes
and bursting into smaller balls until a golden ball is released by one of the bursts. At this time, the game is
over and the player is told how many balls were generated during the last burst (including the golden ball).
The game is played by two players at a time and the player who had the lowest number of balls generated on

Java Only Solution:
John's barn has a fence consisting of N consecutive sections numbered from left to right from 1 to N.
Each part is first painted in one of two colors: red or green, your information is given with string C.
The color of the I-th part Ci will be equal to 'R' if the color of the part is red and 'G' if it is green.
John decided to paint the whole fence green. To make the normal drawing process more fun he
decided to do it using the following process. Every minute (until the whole fence is painted green)
you will do the following steps:
Select any part of the phone that is painted red. Let's show the index of this section as X.
In each section with references X, X + 1, ..., min (N, X + K - 1), flip the color of the corresponding part
from red to green and from green to red by re-painting.
John wonders how quickly he can paint the phone. Please help her find the minimum number of
minutes needed to repaint.

Write up Java source code for compiling and execution of program below.
There is a very simple solution to keeping Tic-tac-toe fresh and interesting, though, and it has been thought up by a group of mathematicians. It’s being called Ultimate Tic-tac-toe and simply embeds a Tic-tac-toe board in each of the nine squares of the original game.
Now instead of just winning the main board, you also need to win each of the smaller boards first until you have a line of three.
New Rule: You can only place a mark on the board determined by the position of your opponent’s last placed mark. So, if they put an X or O in the top right corner of a square, your next move must occur in the top right board.
By adding that rule the game is no longer about winning a single board, it’s about tactically managing up to 9 games at once and plotting ahead. You still win by marking three squares in a row, but that now involves winning three games.
The effects of the New Rule:
1: Your opponent can force you to…

For this, they are working with 6 kinds of extracts: Singleton Extracts: berries (B), green veggies (G), dairy (D) Combination Extracts: icecream (I), salad (S), and cheese sauce (C). Like regular food, mixing two extracts of the same kind will result in an extract of the same kind (eg. mixing berries B with berries B will result in berries B). Mixing two singleton extracts will result in a combination extract, using these rules: Berries (B) + Green Veggies (G) = Salad (S) Berries (B) + Dairy (D) = Icecream (I) Green Veggies (G) + Dairy (D)= Cheese Sauce (C) Mixing two combination extracts will result in a singleton extract closest to them.

Tic-Tac-Toe is played on a three-by-three grid by two players, who alternately place the marks “O” and “X” in one of the nine spaces in the grid. The player who succeeds in placing three of their marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row is the winner. You are asked to implement a single-player version of the Tic-Tac-Toe game with easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI). One player will be the user and the second player will be artificial intelligence (AI), namely, the computer. Please implement the entire game within a single class.arrow_forward
- Write a program that plays the tic-tac-toe game. Two players take turns clicking an available cell in a grid with their respective tokens (either X or O). When one player has placed three tokens in a horizontal, vertical,or diagonal row on the grid, the game is over and that player has won. A draw (no winner) occurs when all the cells in the grid have been filled with tokens and neither player has achieved a win. Figure 12.17 shows the representative sample runs of the example. Assume that all the cells are initially empty, and that the first player takes the X token and the second player the O token. To mark a cell, the player points the mouse to the cell and clicks it. If the cell is empty, the token (X or O) is displayed. If the cell is already filled, the player’s action is ignored.Define a custom class named Cell that extends Label for displaying a token and for responding to the button-click event. The class contains a data field token with three possible values—' ', X, and…arrow_forwardHi, how do we go about solving this problem in Java programming language? Input The input begins with an integer 1 ≤ ? ≤ 10000, the number of frosh. For each frosh, a line follows containing the course numbers of five distinct courses selected by the frosh. Each course number is an integer between 100 and 499. Output The popularity of a combination is the number of frosh selecting exactly the same combination of courses. A combination of courses is considered most popular if no other combination has higher popularity.

- How can I express the following situation in Java programming? Orcs, Hobbits, and Tom Bombadil We have n-1 Orcs and n Hobbits who want to cross a river. We also have Tom Bombadil who wants to cross as well. Only Hobbits and Tom Bombadil can row the boat (don’t ask me why!) At all times, the number of Hobbits on either side of the river must be greater or equal the number of Orcs on that side (unless there are no Hobbits on that side), or the Hobbits will be killed by the Orcs! If the boat holds 2, with n=4 or more, the problem has no solution. If the boat can hold 3, then up to n=5 can be solved. If the boat can hold 4, any number (n) Hobbits can cross. So -- if n = 1,2 or 3 - use a boat of size 2. If n = 4 or 5 - use a boat of size 3. If n > 5 use a boat of size 4. If n <0 invalid input if n = 0 no output.arrow_forwardIn this lab work, you will implement a coffee shop example. In this coffee shop, everything must progress as if it does in real life. It means that the program should ask a person for body temperature in Celsius, and grant or reject access to a coffee shop. When a customer orders a coffee, they have to choose a size such as Small, Medium, and Large then, depending on the order, the price has to change. The price also has to change depending on the type of coffee. For example, for coffees that are similar to espresso, you also need to take every shot of espresso into account. The actual prices of the coffees depend on your imagination however, they should be realistic. Some hints: • Focus on dividing your program into multiple functions. • You can also return double or integer types of values from your functions, so use them if you can. • Don't just code a function every possible type of, and try to make it generic as much as possible. • Be creative.

There exists numerous fractals and some fractals rely on computation of advanced mathematics. All fractals have a recursive quality and provide an ideal platform for practicing recursive concepts.
