Chapter 14, Problem 7PP
Program Plan Intro
Chocolate Bars and Coupons
Program plan:
- Include required header file.
- Declare the function for compute chocolate bars
- Define main function.
- Declare variable for “nDollars” and “result”.
- Create prompt statement for ask the number of dollars.
- Read the number of dollars from the user.
- Call the function “calculateChocolateBars” with “nDollars” and “coupons” and then store the result in a variable “result”.
- Finally display the result.
- Define “calculateChocolateBars” function with argument “nDollars” and “coupons”.
- If the value of “nDollars” is equal to “0” and the value of “coupons” is less than “7”, then returns nothing.
- Otherwise, first assigns the value of dollars to a variable “res”. Then compute the value of coupons.
- Finally returns the number of chocolate bars by recursively call the function “calculateChocolateBars” with dividing and moduling the coupons with “7” and then add with “res”.

Suppose a person can buy a chocolate bar from the vending machine for $1 each. Inside every chocolate bar is a coupon. A person can redeem 3 coupons for one chocolate bar from the machine. This means that once a person has started buying chocolate bars from the machine, he/she always has some coupons. A person would like to know how many chocolate bars can be bought, if a person starts with N dollars and always redeem coupons, if he/she has enough for an additional chocolate bar.
For example:
With 3 dollars a person could buy 4 chocolate bars after purchasing 3 bars giving him/her 3 coupons and then redeeming the 3 coupons for one bar. This would leave him/her with one extra coupon. Thus, will have 4 chocolate bars and still have one coupon leftover.
For 11 dollars, a person can have 16 chocolate bars and still have one coupon leftover.
For 12 dollars, a person can have 17 chocolate bars and have two coupons leftover.

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…

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…arrow_forwardIn practical life, the employees get salaries and pay taxes honestly. Sometimes, the process of drawing salariesand payment of taxes may lead to some interesting situation. Suppose, a person draws salary of Rs. 10,000 permonth. A certain percentage of tax is charged on that amount, which is deducted every month. But if the salaryof the person is more than Rs. 10,000 per month, then the tax rate is different. Similarly if a person is getting Rs.20,000 per month, he/she would be charged more under a different tax rate slab. The interesting situationdevelops if there is an anomaly in the tax rates i.e. a person who is getting higher salary takes home lesser moneyas compared to the other person with less gross salary.To further elaborate it, we suppose that there is company 'C' where 100 or less than 100persons are employed. The salaries of the employees and their tax rates are known to us.We are required to list those unlucky persons, who are getting lesser take-home salary(net salary)…arrow_forward

They offer two types of apples: green ones at 0.5 UM per kg and red ones at 0.8 UM per kg. We know that he only has space in his van to transport a maximum of 700 kg of apples and that he plans to sell a kilo of green apples for 0.58 UM and red apples for 0.9 UM. Solve the problem with the graphical method.- How many kilograms of apples of each type should you buy to obtain maximum profit?arrow_forwardStart 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.arrow_forward

Each square can be unpainted or can have a hole, so you cannot go on the square with a hole. The objective is to paint all the squares that do not have a hole. You start in the square (0,0) which is unpainted. The actions you can do are: (1) paint the square you are on if it is not painted; (2) move, either vertically or horizontally, to an adjacent square inside the grid that is not painted and does not have a hole. a. Describe a state-space representation for the problem, specifying the state representation, the initial state, the goal condition, and the actions. b. Is the state space finite? Is it a tree or a graph? c. Propose a heuristic for the problem. Is your heuristics admissible or not?

You can find the odds for winning from your local bookie [A bookie sets odds, accepts and places bets, and pays out winnings on behalf of other people]. Odds are mathematically treated as a fraction. If the odds for the Morocco vs Argentina game are 5 to 1, the fraction is 1 / 5. So to convert the fraction into probability of winning, take the numerator and divide it by the denominator plus 1. Use the Frac.class in Java to help you convert any given odds into probability. Display your result as a percentage on you console.arrow_forward

Further let’s suppose that despite the bucolic setting, the residents of all these houses are avid cell phone users. You want to place cell phone base stations at certain points along the road, so that every house is within four miles of one of the base stations.

Now, the minute hand doesn't rotate by the angle 2π/3600 each second, but now it moves according to different angle x. You can assume that coordinates of the centre of the clock are (0, 0) and the length of the minute hand is l. One endpoint of the minute hand is always located at the clock centre; the other endpoint is initially located at the point (0, l). One second later, Harry observes that this endpoint is at distance d above the x-axis, i.e., the y-coordinate of this endpoint is equal to d. Harry is curious about where the minute hand will be (specifically, its y-coordinate) after t seconds. Because t can be very large, Harry can't wait for that moment. Please help him to write a python code that prints a single line containing the output.Input: 4 2 2Output4Harry has a big wall clock, that got hit while he was playing.
