Classes are scheduled at a school. Once students have submitted their course requests, a computer algorithm can determine the optimal schedule for everyone.
The school has concluded that it will take too long to determine the best schedule. Instead, they resort to a less sophisticated method that produces a serviceable if not ideal timetable.
Which guiding concept is represented here?
A school is creating class schedules for its students. The students submit their requested courses and then a program will be designed to find the optimal schedule for all students.
The school has determined that finding the absolute best schedule cannot be solved in a reasonable time. Instead they have decided to use a simpler algorithm that produces a good but non-optimal schedule in a more reasonable amount of time.
Which principle does this decision best demonstrate?
using c++ ..Given a set of activities and the starting and finishing time of each activity, find themaximum number of activities that can be performed by a single person assuming that aperson can only work on a single activity at a time.This problem is called the activity selection problem, which concerns the selection ofnon-conflicting activities to perform within a given time frame, given a set of activities eachmarked by a start and finish time.

- . The vacuum cleaner problem is a well-known search problem for a vacuum cleaner robot that works on Artificial Intelligence. In this problem to clean up the whole area. In the superficial world, the vacuum cleaner agent has a location sensor and a dirt sensor to know where it is (room A, room B, or any n room) and whether the room is dirty. Also, the robot needs to avoid the obstacle (stool) and find a new path. A possible performance measure is to maximize the number of clean rooms over a certain period. For this problem, four main conditions should be considered: in(x,y) means a robot at (x,y) dirt(x,y) means there is a dirt at(x,y) facing(d) means the robot is facing direction d, where d ={north, east, south, west} • hit(s) means the robot hits the obstacle s possible actions the robot can do - turn, forward, suck-dirt, avoid a) Write possible rules that can be used to perform the room cleaning plan b) Execute this plan…arrow_forwardA problem with optimization is specified:The input is one instance as a prerequisite.Postconditions: The result is one of the acceptable solutions in this situation, with the best (minimum or maximum, as appropriate) success metric.

- From dynamic programming c. If a problem can be solved by combining optimal solutions to non-overlapping problems, the strategy is called ___________ .arrow_forwardUsing c++ Apply both breadth-first search and best-first search to a modified version of MC problem. In the modified MC, a state can contain any number of M’s and any number of C’s on either side of the river. Assume the goal is always to move all the persons on the left side to the right side. The Initial state should be a parameter given to the program at beginning of execution. As in the original problem, boat capacity =2, the boat cannot move by itself, and on either side C’s should not outnumber M’s. For best-first search, you need to come up with an appropriate heuristic. In addition to solving the problem, your grade will also be based on th effectiveness of the heuristic. As an example, the program should execute as follows. Initial state… Enter number of M’s on left side of the river: 3 Enter number of C’s on left side of the river: 1 Enter number of M’s on right side of the river: 0 Enter number of C’s on right side of the river: 0 Enter location of the boat: L The output…arrow_forwardConsider the search problem represented in Figure, where a is the start node and e is the goal node.

- Not every greedy approach works. For activity selection problem, your book gives examples which shows that the following greedy strategies don't work: the earliest start time, the shortest-duration activity, and the activity with the fewest overlaps. Give concrete examples to show that the 0-1 knapsack problem doesn’t work for: (a) the heaviest item first, (b) the lightest item first, (c) the most expensive item first, and (d) the least expensive item first.arrow_forwarda. Given n items, where each item has a weight and a value, and a knapsack that can carry at most W You are expected to fill in the knapsack with a subset of items in order to maximize the total value without exceeding the weight limit. For instance, if n = 6 and items = {(A, 10, 40), (B, 50, 30), (C, 40, 80), (D, 20, 60), (E, 40, 10), (F, 10, 60)} where each entry is represented as (itemIdi, weighti, valuei). Use greedy algorithm to solve the fractional knapsack problem. b. Given an array of n numbers, write a java or python program to find the k largest numbers using a comparison-based algorithm. We are not interested in the relative order of the k numbers and assuming that (i) k is a small constant (e.g., k = 5) independent of n, and (ii) k is a constant fraction of n (e.g., k = n/4). Provide the Big-Oh characterization of your algorithm.arrow_forwardThis characteristic is met by a problem if it is feasible to develop an optimum solution for it by first creating optimal solutions for its subproblems. a) Subproblems that overlap; b) substructure that's optimum; c) memorization; d) greedyarrow_forward
