You are given N sticks, where the length of each rod is a positive number. The cutting work is done on the sticks so that they are all reduced to the length of the smallest rod. Suppose we have six sticks of the following length: 544228 Then, in a single cutting operation we cut 2 lengths from each of the six sticks. In the following cut-off operation, there are four sticks (not the length of an egg), the length of which is as follows: 3226 The above step is repeated until there are no sticks left. If you are given the length of the N sticks, print the number of sticks left before each subsequent cutting operation using C++ code only. Input 6 544228 Output 6 4 2 1

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 ll in the values is the correct one.

Prove that the coin changing problem exhibits optimal substructure. Design a recursive backtracking (brute-force) algorithm that returns the minimum number of coins needed to make change for n cents for any set of k different coin denominations. Write down the pseudocode and prove that your algorithm is correct.
Imagine there are N teams competing in a tournament, and that each team plays each of the other teams once. If a tournament were to take place, it should be demonstrated (using an example) that every team would lose to at least one other team in the tournament.
Given a real number x and a positive integer k, determinethe number of multiplications used to find x^(2^k)startingwith x and successively squaring (to find x^2, x^4, and soon). Is this a more efficient way to find x^(2^k)than by multiplying x by itself the appropriate number of times?
Imagine you have 331 sheep, and you are going to use primitive counting to write a tally stick for the King. Suppose you carry out the procedure as usual, filling the pens with sheep, and liberating the sheep from pen 2 (and any extra sheep); then doing it again, doing it again, etc., until you get down to one sheep.How many sheep will you have in the first pen After one round? After two rounds? After three rounds?
To have random-access lookup, a grid should have a scheme for numbering the tiles.For example, a square grid has rows and columns, which give a natural numberingfor the tiles. Devise schemes for triangular and hexagonal grids. Use the numberingscheme to define a rule for determining the neighbourhood (i.e. adjacent tiles) of agiven tile in the grid. For example, if we have a four-connected square grid, wherethe indices are i for rows and j for columns, the neighbourhood of tile i, j can bedefined asneighbourhood(i, j) = {i ± 1, j,i, j ± 1}
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.
Imagine a collection of nuts and bolts that are all together in one pile on a table. Describe, in pseudocode, how you would find all matching pairs of nuts and bolts. You need to find one solution for each of the problem-solving approaches given below. For each of your solution, determine how many comparisons of pairs of nuts and bolts you might have to make in the best- and worst- case scenario. You can assume that there are complete pairs, no single nuts or bolts, and that for each bolt, there is exactly one nut that fits. Describe a solution to the nuts and bolts problem (in pseudocode) using a Divide and Conquer Approach.
Use a computer programming language of your choice to implement the dynamic programming that allows the change of edge weights and compute the shortest path from 1 to 14, and also shows the shortest route. For example, what is the shortest path and its route from node 1 to node 14 if the distance from node 4 to node 7 is 9?
Start with a pile of n stones and successively split a pile into two smaller piles until each pile has only one Each time a split happens, multiply the number of stones in each of the two smaller piles. (For example, if a pile has 15 stones and you split it into a pile of 7 and another pile of 8 stones, multiply 7 and 8.) The goal of this problem is to show that no matter how the pile of n stones are split, the sum of the products computed at each split is equal to n(n - 1)/2. Using strong mathematical induction, prove that no matter how the pile of n stones are split, the sum of the products computed at each split is equal to n(n - 1)/2.

You are given a collection of n bolts of different widths and n correspondingnuts. You are allowed to try a nut and bolt together, from which you can determine whether the nut is larger than the bolt, smaller than the bolt, or matches the bolt exactly. However, there is no way to compare two nuts together or two bolts together. The problem is to match each bolt to its nut. Design an algorithm for this problem with an average-case efficiency ofΘ(n log n).
