CS211 Non-recursive solution for Towers of Hanoi Using the algorithm discussed in class, write an iterative program to solve the Towers of Hanoi problem. The problem: You are given three towers a, b, and c. We start with n rings on tower a and we need to transfer them to tower b subject to the following restrictions: 1. We can only move one ring at a time, and 2. We may never put a larger numbered ring on top of a smaller numbered one. There are always 3 towers. Your program will prompt the user for the number of rings. Here is the algorithm. Definition: A ring is "available" if it is on the top of one of the towers. Definition: The "candidate" is the smallest available ring that has not been moved on the most recent move. The first candidate is ring 1. The Algorithm: 1. Find the candidate. 2. Move the candidate (right or left, depending if the number of rings is odd or even) to the closest tower on which it can be placed. Move "around the circle" if necessary. 3. If not done, go back to step 1. The output should be a set of "commands" of the following form: "Move ring x from tower y to tower z" for each move. In addition, your program should take 2"-1 moves for any n.

Q4. Recursion Find how many possible combinations that a number can be decomposed into the multiple of integers (smaller than the number itself) by a recursion function.Suppose we have a positive number Y as input, and it need to be decomposed into the multiple of several integers, Yi, where each Yi, is smaller than Y(e.g., Y=Y1∗Y2∗ Y3∗...∗Yn). In addition, these decomposed integers can only be arranged in an ascending order (Y1
Iteration versus one-friend recursion. 1. Your job is to accept the tuple a1, a2,..., a and return the tuple an, an1,..., a1 that has been reversed. You will only take an element off of one end or put an element back on one end because you are being indolent. But you have allies in recursion who can assist you.Please include the recursive code as well as a paragraph with the friend's description of the algorithm. 2. Now imagine that you lack pals but have a stack. (Refer to Chapter 3. Quickly design an incremental programme to address this issue. Include loop invariants and other crucial stages that are necessary to describe an iterative algorithm. 3. Trace both of these scripts separately. Compare and contrast their computerised calculations step by step.
PYTHON RECURSIVE FUNCTION Write a python program that lists all ways people can line up for a photo (all permutations of a list of strings). The program will read a list of one word names, then use a recursive method to create and output all possible orderings of those names, one ordering per line. When the input is: Julia Lucas Mia then the output is (must match the below ordering): Julia Lucas Mia Julia Mia Lucas Lucas Julia Mia Lucas Mia Julia Mia Julia Lucas Mia Lucas Julia
Pascal's triangle is a useful recursive definition that tells us the coefficients in the expansion of the polynomial (x + a)^n. Each element in the triangle has a coordinate, given by the row it is on and its position in the row (which you could call a column). Every number in Pascals triangle is defined as the sum of the item above it and the item above it and to the left. If there is a position that does not have an entry, we treat it as if we had a 0 there. *picture of the pascals triangle* Given the following recursive function signature, write the recursive function that takes a row and a column and finds the value at that position in the triangle. Assume that the triangle starts at row 0 and column 0. Examples: pascal(2, 1) -> 2, pascal(1, 2) -> 0 public int pascal(int row, int column) { }
One-friend recursion vs iteration. 1. Your objective is to receive the tuple a1, a2,..., a and return the tuple an, an1,..., a1 that has been inverted. You will only take an element off of one end or put an element back on one end because you are being lazy. But you have friends in recursion who can assist you.Please provide the recursive code as well as a paragraph with the friend's description of the algorithm.2. Now imagine that you lack friends but have a stack. Quickly design an iterative programme to address this issue.

Artificial Intelligence (Part - 2) ==================== The Towers of Hanoi is a famous problem for studying recursion incomputer science and searching in artificial intelligence. We start with N discs of varying sizes on a peg (stacked in order according to size), and two empty pegs. We are allowed to move a disc from one peg to another, but we are never allowed to move a larger disc on top of a smaller disc. The goal is to move all the discs to the rightmost peg (see figure). To solve the problem by using search methods, we need first formulate the problem. Supposing there are K pegs and N disk. (2) What is the size of the state space?
Recursive Copy Function Given a string str and number n, write a program that recursively appends a copy of string str n times and returns the resulting string. For example: RecuriveCopy("a", 10)//-> "aaaaaaaaaaa"RecursiveCopy("blah",5)//-> "blahblahblahblahblahblah" Please complete the following function. n is the number of copies to add to str: function RecursiveCopy(str, n) {// your code here} The problem must satisfy the following: You must use recursion. You should end up with n+1 copies of the str total in the output because you are appending additional str copies. Use string literal formatting for the output.
Write recursive methods for the following operations: • removeDup(String s): takes string s and returns another string r constructed from s after removing all duplicates. For example, when s = "pineapples", r will be "pineals". • intersection(String s1, String s2): takes two duplicate-free strings and returns the string consisting of all letters that appear in both s1 and s2. • union(String s1, String s2): takes two duplicate-free strings and returns the string consisting of all letters that appear in either s1 or s2. • difference(String s1, String s2): takes two duplicate-free strings and returns the string consisting of all letters that appear only in s1. For example, when s1 = "aples" and s2 = "pears", intersection(s1, s2) will return "apes", union(s1, s2) will "aplesr", and difference(s1, s2) "l". Calling method removeDup() is not allowed in intersection(s1, s2) , union(s1, s2) or difference(s1, s2) method. Your program should check strings are duplicate free before they are…

For function decToBinary, write the missing parts of the recursion case. This function should return a string that stores the binary equivalent for int variable num. Example: The binary equivalent of 13 may be found by repeatedly dividing 13 by 2. So, 13 in base 2 is represented by the string "1101". Examples: decToBinary(13) -> "1101" public String decToBinary (int num) { if (num < 2) return Integer.toString(num); else return <<Missing recursive call>> + <<Missing calculation>>;}

The 4th problem mimics the situation where eagles flying in the sky can be spotted and counted.FindEagles: a recursive function that examines and counts the number of objects (eagles) in aphotograph. The data is in a two-dimensional grid of cells, each of which may be empty (value 0) orfilled (value 1 to 9). Maximum grid size is 50 x 50. The filled cells that are connected form an object(eagle). Two cells are connected if they are vertically, horizontally, or diagonally adjacent. Thefollowing figure shows 3 x 4 grids with 3 eagles. 0 0 1 21 0 0 01 0 3 1 FindEagle function takes as parameters the 2-D array and the x-y coordinates of a cell that is a part ofan eagle (non-zero value) and erases (change to 0) the image of an eagle. The function FindEagleshould return an integer value that counts how many cells has been counted as part of an eagle and havebeen erased. The following sample data has two pictures, the first one is 3 x 4, and the second one is 5 x 5 grids. Notethat your program…
