Introduction
Palindrome:
A word, phrase, statistic, or string of characters that reads the same backward as it does forwards is called a palindrome. In other words, it's a string that is true whether it is read left or right. Palindromes can be applied with numbers or any string of characters and are not just restricted to words or phrases. Palindromic words include some well-known instances such as "level," "deified," "racecar," and "rotor." Palindromes have long piqued people's interest and have been included in writing, poetry, and brain teasers. They act as a benchmark for measuring performance and algorithm optimization in computer science.

- Q1. In this class we use Python and Jupyter notebook. Find the running time equation for the follwing function. Please include notes that will help me learn.arrow_forwardComputer Science You must count the number of strings of length 6 over the alphabet A = {x, y, z}. Any string of length 6 can be considered as a 6-tuple. For example, the string xyzy can be represented by the tuple (x,y,z,y). So the number of strings of length 6 over A equals the number of 6-tuples over A, which by product rule is N. Find N. (Use the following product rule for any finite set A and any natural number n : |A^n|=|A|^n)arrow_forwardThe following recursive method get Number Equal searches the array x of 'n integers for occurrences of the integer val. It returns the number of integers in x that are equal to val. For example, if x contains the 9 integers 1, 2, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, then getNumberEqual(x, 9, 4) returns the value 2 because 4 occurs twice in x. public static int getNumberEqual(int x[], int n, int val) { if (n< 0) ( return 0; } else { if (x[n-1) == val) { return getNumberEqual(x, n-1, val) +1; } else { return getNumber Equal(x, n-1, val); } // end if ) // end if } // end get Number Equal Demonstrate that this method is recursive by listing the criteria of a recursive solution and stating how the method meets each criterion.arrow_forward
- this should be done in C Our method will involve analyzing a string and picking the 5 most common letters in that string. We will then compute how far each of these is from the letter ‘e’. We will then produce 5 possible decryptions of the string by: Decryption 1 will be from comparing how far the most popular letter is from the letter “e” Decryption 2 will be from comparing how far the second most popular letter is from the letter “e” Decryption 3 will be from comparing how far the third most popular letter is from the letter “e” Decryption 4 will be from comparing how far the fourth most popular letter is from the letter “e” Decryption 5 will be from comparing how far the fifth most popular letter is from the letter “e”arrow_forwardPythonarrow_forwardThe factorial of a positive integer n —which we denote as n!—is the product of n and the factorial of n 1. The factorial of 0 is 1. Write two different recursive methods in Java that each return the factorial of n. Analyze your algorithm in Big-Oh notation and provide the appropriate analysis, ensuring that your program has a test class.arrow_forward

One player (your program) becomes the codemaker, the other the codebreaker. The codemaker (your program) creates a 4 digit secret code which is randomly generated by the supplied code below and the codebreaker tries to guess the 4 digit pattern. import randomsecretCode =[]for i in range (0,4): n = random.randint(1,9) secretCode.append(str(n)) print (secretCode) # take this out when you are playing the game for real because it is a secret The secret code pattern generated above will consist of any of the digits 1-9 and can contain multiples of the same digit. Your program should then tells the codebreaker which digits should be in their guess by displaying a sorted list of the digit characters contained in the secret code python list .
