We examine a problem in which we are handed a collection of coins and are tasked with forming a sum of money n out of the coins. The currency numbers are coins = c1, c2,..., ck, and each coin can be used as many times as we want. What is the bare amount of money required? If the coins are the euro coins (in euros) 1,2,5,10,20,50,100,200 and n = 520, we need at least four coins. The best option is to choose coins with sums of 200+200+100+20.

You and your friends decided to hold a “Secret Santa” gift exchange, where each person buys a gift for someone else. To see how this whole thing works, let’s consider the following example. Suppose there are 7 people A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. We denote x → y to mean “x gives a gift to y.” If the gift exchange starts with person A, then they give a gift to E. Then E gives a gift to B. And it is entirely possible that B gives a gift to A; in such a case we have completed a “cycle.” In case a cycle occurs, the gift exchange resumes with another person that hasn’t given their gift yet. If the gift exchange resumes with person D, then they give a gift to G. Then G gives a gift to F. Then F gives a gift to C. Then finally C gives a gift to D, which completes another cycle. Since all of the people have given their gifts, the giftexchange is done, otherwise the gift exchange resumes again with another person. All in all, there are two cycles that occurred during the gift exchange: A → E → B → A…
Consider the problem of making change for n cents using the fewest number of coins. Assume that we live in a country where coins come in k dierent denominations c1, c2, . . . , ck, such that the coin values are positive integers, k ≥ 1, and c1 = 1, i.e., there are pennies, so there is a solution for every value of n. For example, in case of the US coins, k = 4, c1 = 1, c2 = 5, c3 = 10, c4 = 25, i.e., there are pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. To give optimal change in the US for n cents, it is sufficient to pick as many quarters as possible, then as many dimes as possible, then as many nickels as possible, and nally give the rest in pennies. Design a bottom-up (non-recursive) O(nk)-time algorithm that makes change for any set of k different coin denominations. Write down the pseudocode and analyze its running time. Argue why your choice of the array and the order in which you fill in the values is the correct one. Notice how it is a lot easier to analyze the running time of…

we consider a problem where we are given a set of coins andour task is to form a sum of money n using the coins. The values of the coins arecoins = {c1, c2,..., ck}, and each coin can be used as many times we want. Whatis the minimum number of coins needed?For example, if the coins are the euro coins (in cents){1,2,5,10,20,50,100,200}and n = 520, we need at least four coins. The optimal solution is to select coins200+200+100+20 whose sum is 520.

This problem exercises the basic concepts of game playing, using tic-tac-toe (noughtsand crosses) as an example. We define Xn as the number of rows, columns, or diagonals with exactly n X’s and no O’s. Similarly, On is the number of rows, columns, or diagonals with just n O’s. The utility function assigns +1 to any position with X3 = 1 and −1 to any position with O3 = 1. All other terminal positions have utility 0. For nonterminal positions, we use a linear evaluation function defined as Eval (s) = 3X2(s)+X1(s)−(3O2(s)+O1(s))."Mark on your tree the evaluations of all the positions at depth 2."
We now consider two sound waves with different frequencies which have to the same amplitude. The wave functions of these waves are as follows: y1 (t) = A sin (2πf1t) y2 (t) = A sin (2πf2t) 1) Using any computer program, construct the wave dependency graph resultant y (t) from time t in the case when the frequencies of the two sound waves are many next to each other if the values are given: A = 1 m, f1 = 1000 Hz and f2 = 1050 Hz. Doing the corresponding numerical simulations show what happens with the increase of the difference between the frequencies of the two waves and vice versa.

To cut an 'n' centimeter-long gold bar into 2 pieces costs $n. When a gold bar is cut into many pieces, the order in which the cuts occur can affect the total amount of costs. For example, to cut a 20 centimeter gold bar at length marks 2, 8, and 10 (numbering the length marks in ascending order from the left-hand end, starting from 1). If the cuts to occur in left-to-right order, then the first cut costs $20, the second cut costs $18 (cutting the remaining 18 centimeter bar at originally length mark 8), and the third cut costs $12, totaling $50. If the cuts to occur in right-to-left order, however, then the first cut costs $20 time, the second cut costs $10, and the third cut costs $8, totaling $38. In yet another order, the first cut is at 8 (costing $20), then the 2nd cut is at 2 (costing $8), and finally the third cut is at 10 (costing $12), for a total cost of $40. Given an 'n' centimeter-long gold bar G and an array C[1..m] containing the cutting points in ascending order): a.…
In order to beat AlphaZero, Grandmaster Hikaru is improving her chess calculation skills.Today, Hikaru took a big chessboard with N rows (numbered 1 through N) and N columns (numbered 1 through N). Let's denote the square in row r and column c of the chessboard by (r,c). Hikaru wants to place some rooks on the chessboard in such a way that the following conditions are satisfied:• Each square of the board contains at most one rook.• There are no four rooks forming a rectangle. Formally, there should not be any four valid integers r1, c1, r2, c2 (≠r2,c1≠c2) such that there are rooks on squares (r1,c1), (r1,c2 (r2,c1)and (r2,c2).• The number of rooks is at least 8N.Help Hikaru find a possible distribution of rooks. If there are multiple solutions, you may find any one. It is guaranteed that under the given constraints, a solution always exists.InputThe first line of the input contains a single integer T denoting the number of test cases.
