Program Plan Intro

Towers of Hanoi

Program plan:

  • Include required header file.
  • Declare the function for tower of Hanoi.
  • Define main function.
    • Declare variable for “n”.
    • Initializes three post names in “char” data type.
    • Create prompt statement for disks.
    • Read the number of disks from user.
    • Call the function “towersOfHanoi” with four parameters “n”, “post1”, “post2” and “post3”.
  • Define “towersOfHanoi” function
    • If the total count is equal to “1”, then display the movement of disk from given source post to destination post.
    • Otherwise, recursively call the function “towersOfHanoi” with corresponding arguments.

Towers of Hanoi. There is a story about Buddhist monks who are playing this puzzle with 64 stone disks. The story claims that when the monks finish moving the disks from one post to a second via the third post, time will end. Eschatology (concerns about the end of time) and theology will be left to those better qualified; our interest is limited to the recur- sive solution to the problem.   A stack of n disks of decreasing size is placed on one of three posts. The task is to move the disks one at a time from the first post to the second. To do this, any disk can be moved from any post to any other post, subject to the rule that you can never place a larger disk over a smaller disk. The (spare) third post is provided to make the solution possible. Your task is using c++ write a recursive function that describes instructions for a solution to this problem. We don’t have graphics available, so you should output a sequence of instructions that will solve the problem.   Hint: If you could…
Python Please. An interesting puzzler for chess buffs is the Knight’s Tour problem, originally proposed by the mathematician Euler. Can the knight piece move around an empty chessboard and touch each of the 64 squares once and only once? We study this intriguing problem in depth here. The knight makes only L-shaped moves (two spaces in one direction and one space in a perpendicular direction). Thus, as shown in the figure below, from a square near the middle of an empty chessboard, the knight (labeled K) can make eight different moves (numbered 0 through 7). A: Draw an eight-by-eight chessboard on a sheet of paper, and attempt a Knight’s Tour by hand. Put a 1 in the starting square, a 2 in the second square, a 3 in the third, and so on. Before starting the tour, estimate how far you think you’ll get, remembering that a full tour consists of 64 moves. How far did you get? Was this close to your estimate? B: Now let’s develop a script that will move the knight around a chessboard…
Use a stack to reverse the words of a sentence. Keep reading words until you have a word that ends in a period, adding them onto a stack. When you have a word with a period, pop the words off and print them. Stop when there are no more words in the input. For example, you should turn the inputMary had a little lamb. Its fleece was white as snow.intoLamb little a had mary. Snow as white was fleece its.Pay attention to capitalization and the placement of the period. This is what I have so far: import java.util.Scanner;import java.util.Stack; /**   Class for reversing the order of a sentence.*/public class SentenceReverser{   /**      Reverses the given sentence.      @param sentence Sentence to be reversed.      @return Reversed sentence.   */   public static String reverse(String sentence)   {      String reversed = "";      Scanner scanner = new Scanner(sentence);      Stack<String> stack = new Stack<String>();       // put your work below      // ...            return…
