Suppose you can buy a chocolate bar from the vending machine for $1 each. Inside every chocolate bar is a coupon. You can redeem seven coupons for one chocolate bar from the machine. You would like to know how many chocolate bars you can eat, including those redeemed via coupon, if you have n dollars.
For example, if you have 20 dollars then you can initially buy 20 chocolate bars. This gives you 20 coupons. You can redeem 14 coupons for two additional chocolate bars. These two additional chocolate bars give you two more coupons, so you now have a total of eight coupons. This gives you enough to redeem for one final chocolate bar. As a result you now have 23 chocolate bars and two leftover coupons.

- Let's begin with a lesson in roulette. Roulette is a casino game that involves spinning a ball on a wheel that is marked with numbered squares that are red, black, or green. Half of the numbers 1–36 are colored red and half are black and the numbers 0 and 00 are green. Each number occurs only once on the wheel. We can make many different types of bets, but two of the most common are to bet on a single number (1–36) or to bet on a color (either red or black). These will be the two bets we will consider in this project. After all players place their bets on the table, the wheel is spun and the ball tossed onto the wheel. The pocket in which the ball lands on the wheel determines the winning number and color. The ball can land on only one color and number at a time. We begin by placing a bet on a number between 1 and 36. This bet pays 36 to 1 in most casinos, which means we will be paid $36 for each $1 we bet on the winning number. If we lose, we simply lose whatever amount of money we…arrow_forwardIn this program, you will check whether two dominoes match. Because you can flip a tile, two tiles match if the number on the left or right matches the left or right on the other tile. You should print all matches. First check a direct match, then try flipping tiles. But don’t flip a tile whose left and right numbers are the same. If there is no match, print "No match". For example, with the tiles 1 3 and 4 3, print 1 3 3 4 Three of my tests are failing since there are duplicates of the print results. How would I go about to remove the duplicate?arrow_forwardWrite a program that plays rock paper scissors against the user. Ask the user for what they want to throw (rock, paper, or scissors) and then have the computer randomly pick their throw. Then check to see who wins (or if it’s a tie). You can interpret 1 as rock, 2 as paper, and 3 as scissors if you’d like (or any other combination of numbers). 2. Craps is a dice game played at many casinos. A player rolls a pair of normal six-sided dice. If the initial roll is 2, 3, or 12, the player loses. If the roll is 7 or 11, the player wins. Any other initial roll causes the player to roll for point. That is, the player keeps rolling the dice until either rolling a 7 or re-rolling the value of the initial roll. If the player re-rolls the initial value before rolling a 7, it’s a win. Rolling a 7 first is a loss. Write a program to simulate multiple games of craps and estimate the probability that the player wins. For example, if the player wins 249 out of 500 games, then the estimated probability…arrow_forward
- vvvHarry has a big wall clock, that got hit while he was playing. 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.

Start by asking the user for the price of the product and the amount paid. (We are expecting that the user will give a larger value for the amount paid.) Read in each of these values as a double. Report back to the user the number of each denomination of change due. You are not just telling the user the amount of money he gets back. Hint: Working with integers is much easier. The modulo operator is your friend for this assignment. Also, note that pennies can be tricky due to the poor real number to binary conversions. (Remember that 1.00 could actually be stored as 0.9999999999997.) Do not include five-dollar bills, ten-dollar bills, etc. Only show coins and one-dollar bill amounts. Be sure to test multiple values. There is a test case below. Your program should run the test case exactly as it appears below, and should work on any other case in general.

This means that if you start with startbal dollars in the bank, at the end of the first day you’ll have a balance ofstartbal * (1 + rate/365)dollars, where rate is the annual interest rate (0.10 if the annual rate is 10 percent). At the end of the second day, you’ll havestartbal * (1 + rate/365) * (1 + rate/365)dollars, and at the end of n days you’ll havestartbal * (1 + rate/365)ndollars. Write a program that processes a set of data records, each of which contains values for rate, startbal, and n and computes the final account balance.arrow_forward
- When you use a mortgage to purchase a home, the lending institution effectively owns the home. You buy back part ownership in the home with each monthly payment. The part you have bought back is your equity in the home. If the mortgage amount is P dollars, the monthly interest rate is r as a decimal, and the term of the mortgage is t months, then your equity after k payments is E(k) = P((1 + r)k − 1) (1 + r)t − 1 dollars. In this exercise, assume that the mortgage amount is $200,000, the APR is 6% so r = .06/12 and the term of the loan is 30 years (360 months). (a) Find a formula for the equity. (b) Make a graph of the equity over 360 months, the term of the loan. (c) Does the graph show that you have half-ownership in the home halfway through the term of the mortgage? Halfway through the term of the mortgage corresponds to k1 = _______ payments. From the graph, we see that E(k1) is ________ half of the mortgage amount, so we _______ have half-ownership in the home…arrow_forwardUsing Paython Write a program that asks a student for his grade (out of 100) in 3 exams and then print out his final grade (out of 100), given that the weight of the first exam is 30%, the second 30%, and the third 40%.Example Input:Exam1: 70Exam2: 80Exam3: 90Example Output:Total Grade = 81Explanation: 0.3 * 70 + 0.3 * 80 + 0.4 * 90 = 81arrow_forwardWrite a program that plays a dice game called "21" It is a variation on BlackJack where one player plays against the computer trying to get 21 or as close to 21 without going over. Here are the rules of the game: You will play with dice that have numbers from 1 to 11. To win, the player or the computer has to get to 21, or as close as possible without going over. If the player or computer goes over 21, they instantly lose. If there is a tie, the computer wins. Starting the game: The player is asked to give the computer a name. For now, we'll simply call the computer opponent, "computer." The game starts with rolling four dice. The first two dice are for the player. These two dice are added up and the total outputted to the screen. The other two dice are for the computer. Likewise, their total is outputted to the screen.
