Planting Grapevines
A vineyard owner is planting several new rows of grapevines, and needs to know how many grapevines to plant in each row. She has determined that after measuring the length of a future row, she can use the following formula to calculate the number of vines that will fit in the row, along with the trellis end-post assemblies that will need to be constructed at each end of the row:
The terms in the formula are:
V is the number of grapevines that will fit in the row.
R is the length of the row, in feet.
E is the amount of space, in feet, used by an end-post assembly.
S is the space between vines, in feet.
Write a
▪ The length of the row, in feet
▪ The amount of space used by an end-post assembly, in feet
▪ The amount of space between the vines, in feet
Once the input data has been entered, the program should calculate and display the number of grapevines that will fit in the row.

Bus Loading Problem. You are in charge of filling busses with passengers at a bus terminal. Each bus has space for ten (10) passengers. Four (4) of those spaces can hold only wheelchair passengers, and the other six (6) can hold only non-wheelchair passengers.
Busses and both types of passengers arrive at random. As busses arrive, you are to fill them up with passengers.
Once a bus is full (containing 6 non-wheelchair, and 4 wheelchair passengers), it is allowed to leave the terminal, along with its passengers.
You are responsible only for loading the passengers on the bus and having the bus depart. You do not need to worry about what happens to the busses or passengers after they leave.
Each bus process has available to it the functions ArriveAtTerminal(), OpenDoors(), CloseDoors(), and DepartTerminal().
Each passenger process has available to it the functions ArriveAtTerminal() and GetOnBus(). Executing GetOnBus() loads the passenger on the bus, and the function returns when the…
C programming
The field of astronomy has been significantly advanced through the use of computer technology. Algorithms can automatically survey digital images of the night sky, looking for new patterns.
For this problem, you should write such an analysis program which counts the number of stars visible in an bitmap image. An image consists of pixels, and each pixel is either black or white (represented by the characters # and -, respectively). All black pixels are considered to be part of the sky, and each white pixel is considered to be part of a star. White pixels that are adjacent vertically or horizontally are part of the same star.
Input
Each test case begins with a line containing a pair of integers 1≤m, n≤100. This is followed by mm lines, each of which contains exactly nn pixels. Input contains at least one and at most 50 test cases, and input ends at the end of file.
Output
For each case, display the case number followed by the number of stars that are visible in the…

- (Numerical) Write an assignment statement to calculate the nth term in an arithmetic sequence. This is the formula for calculating the value, v, of the nth term: v=a+(n1)d a is the first number in the sequence. d is the difference between any two numbers in the sequence.arrow_forward(Transportation) Road construction requires estimating the expected loads on a road’s pavement over its design life. A common approach for determining this information is to use ESAL values; one ESAL is the load a single 18,000-lb (80,000 N) single-axle truck applies to the road’s surface. The ESAL value for any single-axle vehicle can be approximated by this formula: ESAL=[W18,000]4 ESAL is the equivalent single-axle load. W is the vehicle’s weight (lbs). Using this formula, write, compile, and run a C++ program that determines ESAL values and use it to complete the following chart. The ESAL values should be output in a field width of 10, with six digits after the decimal point.arrow_forwardTask using C language Two spacecrafts are traveling at different speeds from Earth to Mars. While spacecraft A doubles its speed every day, spacecraft B triples its speed in the same period. Given their initial speeds, your task is to determine how many days spacecraft B will take to travel faster than spacecraft A. If the initial speed of spacecraft A is 7, it will be 14 after 1 day, 28 after 2 days, and so on. If the initial speed of spacecraft B is 4, it will be 12 after 1 day, 36 after 2 days, and so on. If the initial speed of spacecrafts A and B are 7 and 4, respectively, B will be faster than A after 2 days, as the speed of A will be 28 and the speed of B will be 36.

- ## MP (Machine Problem) Details The bulls and cows game is a code-breaking game designed for two or more players. Each player chooses a secret code of 4 digits from 0 – 9. The digits must be all different. The goal of the game is for each player to guess the other player's secret code. The players in turn present their guesses to the opponents. The opponents respond by telling the players: 1. The number of bulls, i.e. the number of matching digits in their right positions, and 2. The number of cows, i.e. the number of matching digits but in different positions. ### Requirements The main goal of this assignment is to develop the bulls and cows game that allows a single player to play interactively against the computer. The game stores two secret codes, one from the player and one from the computer. The player and the computer will try to guess each other’s secret code. Both the player and the computer only have seven attempts for guessing the secret code. If the player enters invalid…arrow_forwardBad News Bearers Introduction There is some bad news to be delivered, and X has taken on the dangerous mission. Nobody really wants to be the one to take the news; the way goes through enemy territory and, even if the messenger gets through, the classic fate of the bearer of bad news may be waiting. (Let's just say, this is how the phrase "Don't shoot the messenger" became relevant.) To determine which messenger will be sent, X sits all of his messengers down in a circle, selects a number, and starts to count off. Messengers are allowed to leave the circle one by one, and the last messenger left is the one who will deliver the bad news. The counting off procedure is slightly unusual, however, because it is actually the messenger after the last one counted who gets to leave the circle. Consider the following example with 5 messengers, in which the number selected for counting off is 7. We'll start at the "head" of the list and move forward. Since it is circular, the "head"…arrow_forwardPython: numpy def serial_numbers(num_players):"""QUESTION 2- You are going to assign each player a serial number in the game.- In order to make the players feel that the game is very popular with a large player base,you don't want the serial numbers to be consecutive. - Instead, the serial numbers of the players must be equally spaced, starting from 1 and going all the way up to 100 (inclusive).- Given the number of players in the system, return a 1D numpy array of the serial numbers for the players.- THIS MUST BE DONE IN ONE LINEArgs:num_players (int)Returns:np.array>> serial_numbers(10)array([1. 12. 23. 34. 45. 56. 67. 78. 89. 100.])>> serial_numbers(12)array([1. 10. 19. 28. 37. 46. 55. 64. 73. 82. 91. 100.])""" # print(serial_numbers(10)) # print(serial_numbers(12))arrow_forward
- Interest Rates Savings accounts state an interest rate and a compounding period. If theamount deposited is P, the stated interest rate is r, and interest is compounded m timesper year, then the balance in the account after one year is P⋅(1+rm)m. For instance, if$1000 is deposited at 3% interest compounded quarterly (that is, 4 times per year), thenthe balance after one year is1000⋅(1+.034)4=1000⋅1.00754=$1,030.34.Interest rates with different compounding periods cannot be compared directly.The concept of APY (annual percentage yield) must be used to make the comparison. TheAPY for a stated interest rate r compounded m times per year is defined byAPY=(1+rm)m−1.(The APY is the simple interest rate that yields the same amount of interest after oneyear as the compounded annual rate of interest.)

The theater has two rows of five seats each. Each row is referred to by number (1 or 2) and each seat in the row is referred to by letter (A, B, C, D, and E). When started, the program should ask the user for the row they prefer (row selection). If that row has no empty seats then the program should ask the user if they prefer the other row, if no then display a message stating the next show is tomorrow. Upon selecting a row, the program should present the user with a choice of available seats in the row. The user can then either choose a seat and print the ticket (in this case a simple message will suffice) or return to row selection. If a ticket is printed the program should return to row selection. The program terminates when all seats are reserved.arrow_forward
