Question

Transcribed Image Text:Consider a local variable x bound to a reference type value, in the following assignment
statement:
y = f(x)
Is it possible for the value x references to change as a result of evaluating this assignment
statement?
O No, because there will be a separate, distinct copy of x's value in the corresponding
parameter of f 's frame
O No, only y 's value may change as it is the left-hand side of the assignment operator
O No, but for reasons not specified above
O Yes, because f could reassign a new value to be bound to x
O Yes, because f receives a parameter referencing the same value as x
O Yes, but for reasons not specified above

Mines are placed on the ground which can be considered as a gird of size N*M. Each block (i, j) has a mine in it if and only if the summation of the block coordinates is divisible by 2. Your task is to move from the first row to the last row. The mines will not blow if the given rules are followed: • If you are on even row you can move to any cell that is in the neighborhood • If you are on odd row, you can only go the odd row that has mine on that and same with the unmined row. You have to develop a python program to calculate the number of ways to reach row number N starting from row number 1.

- Using a lambda expression, complete the mul_by_num function. This function should take an argument num and return a one argument function that multiplies any value passed to it by num. Its body must be one line long: def mul_by_nunum): Returns a function that takes one argument and returns num times that argument. >>> x = mul_by_num(5) >> y = mul_by_num(2) >>> X (3) 15 >>> y(-4) -8 IIIII "*** YOUR CODE HERE ***"arrow_forwardFor the following, compute the weakest precondition for the following assignment statement given the postcondition. y = 2y – 1 { y > 1}arrow_forwardFor each of the following expressions, write functions f1, f2, f3, and f4 such that the evaluation of each expression succeeds, without causing an error. Be sure to use lambdas in your function definition instead of nested def statements. Each function should have a one line solution. f1 takes in nothing and returns 3. f2 takes in nothing and returns a function that takes in nothing and returns 3. f3 takes in nothing and returns a function that takes in 1 value and returns that same value. f4 takes in nothing and returns a function. This function takes in nothing and returns another function. This next function takes in a value and returns yet another function. This final function takes in nothing and returns the value passed into the previous function (if this explanation is confusing, have a look at the doctest, and it might be more clear). def f1(): >>> f1() 3 |||||| "*** YOUR CODE HERE ***" def f2(): |||||| >>> f2() () 3 |||||| "*** YOUR CODE HERE ***" def f3(): |||||| >>> f3() (3)…arrow_forward
