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.

Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?
Please have the following
Main allows the person playing to choose any door
class door: should have data member methods
Class person: should have data methods
In 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)…

- Mastermind is a code-breaking game for two players. In the original real-world game, one player A selects 4 pegs out of 6 colors and puts them in a certain fixed order; multiples of colors are possible (for example, red-green red-green). His opponent B does not know the colors or order but has to find out the secret code. To do so, B makes a series of guesses, each evaluated by the first player. A guess consists of an ordered set of colors which B believes is the code. The first player A evaluates the guess and feeds back to B how many positions and colors are correct. A position is correct ("black") if the guess and the secret code have the same color. Additional colors are correct ("white"), if they are in the guess and the code, but not at the same location. For example1 2 3 4secret: red-green red greenguess: red blue green purpleresults in one correct position ("black = 1") for the red peg at position one and one additional correct color ("white=1") for the green peg in the guess.…arrow_forwardMastermind is a code-breaking game for two players.

- The third logical operator is OR(). This returns TRUE when any of its inputs is TRUE. For example, OR(FALSE, TRUE, FALSE) returns TRUE since the second input is TRUE, but OR(FALSE, FALSE, FALSE) returns FALSE since all its inputs are FALSE.

The goal of the puzzle is to remove two of the digits and/or operators in the equation so that the resulting equation is correct. For example, given the equation 6 - 5 = 15 ^ 4/2 we can remove the digit 5 and the / operator from the right-hand side in order to obtain the correct equality 6 - 5 = 1 ^ 42. Both sides of the equation now equal to 1. Observe how removing an operator between two numbers (4 and 2) causes the digits of the numbers to be concatenated (42). Here is a more complicated example: 288 / 24 x 6 = 18 x 13 x 8 We can remove digits and operators from either side of the equals sign (either both from one side, or one on each side). In this case, we can remove the 2 from the number 24 on the left-hand side and the 1 from the number 13 on the right-hand side to obtain the correct equality 288 / 4 x 6 = 18 x 3 x 8 Both sides of the equation now equal to 432.

Create a game of Count 21 in which a player competes against the computer, and program a strategy that always allows the computer to win. On any turn, if the player enters a value other than 1, 2, or 3, force the player to reenter the value. Save the game as Count21.java.

- Write a program that plays the tic-tac-toe game. Two players take turns clicking an available cell in a grid with their respective tokens (either X or O). When one player has placed three tokens in a horizontal, vertical,or diagonal row on the grid, the game is over and that player has won. A draw (no winner) occurs when all the cells in the grid have been filled with tokens and neither player has achieved a win. Figure 12.17 shows the representative sample runs of the example. Assume that all the cells are initially empty, and that the first player takes the X token and the second player the O token. To mark a cell, the player points the mouse to the cell and clicks it. If the cell is empty, the token (X or O) is displayed. If the cell is already filled, the player’s action is ignored.Define a custom class named Cell that extends Label for displaying a token and for responding to the button-click event. The class contains a data field token with three possible values—' ', X, and…arrow_forwardC++ for beginers 2) The athlete is given two attempts to shoot.

The first player is chosen randomly. An empty input (i.e., Enter) indicates that the user wishes to roll. Any entered line of non-zero length indicates that the user wishes to hold. Before the game, randomly select which player the user will be, and print the line "You will be player #.", where # is the user's player number. Then, print an instruction line "Enter nothing to roll; enter anything to hold." Before each turn, print a line with "Player 1 score: " and player 1's score. Print another line with "Player 2 score: " and player 2's score. Finally, print a line with "It is player #'s turn.", where "#" is replaced by the current player number.
