Program Plan Intro

Creation of main method to compute a value to find greatest puzzler

Program Plan:

  • Define a method “shoot()” for simulation of a single shot.
    • It simulates shooting at “targetAlive” with given “accuracy”.
    • It generates a random number in between 0 and 1.
    • If random number goes less than “accuracy”, target is hit also “targetAlive” is set to false.
  • Define a method “startDuel()” for duel simulation.
    • Declare variables used in function.
    • Call “shoot()” method to simulate entire duel with this strategy.
    • It loops until one contestant remains.
    • It invokes shoot function with value for target as well as probability for hitting target.
    • It returns a value that indicates the winner of duel.
  • Define the main method.
    • Declare variables required for the function.
    • Call method “startDuel()” to simulation of a duel.
    • It returns a value that indicates the winner of duel.
    • It updates values for winners.
    • Display values of percentages of win.

Write an application with following method to resolve two player game of Rock-Paper-Scissors. rockPaperScissors method takes two parameters: a string representing a first player's move in a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors and a string representing a second player's move. Depending on each player's move, the function should output to the console the winner of the round if there was a winner, a tie if both players had the same move, or whether a player gave an invalid move. When comparing moves, letter-casing does not matter ("rock" should be considered the same move as "rOcK"). The two-player game of Rock-Paper-Scissors works as following: Each player chooses one of three moves: "rock", "paper", or "scissors". A move of "rock" wins over another player's move of "scissors". A move of "scissors" wins over another player's move of "paper". A move of "paper" wins over another player's move of "rock". If two players use the same move, the result is a tie For example, a call of…
Write the following program in python; There is a class with m number of students and they have n number of lessons. a)For each lesson the program has to find arithmetic,geometric,harmonic average of class b)point avarage of each student c)student numbers of highest and lowest avarage point of the class and those points too also d)for each lesson result of highest point minus lowest point e)for each lesson result of highest avarage minus lowest avarage NOTE: M and N numbers will be choosed by keyboard after.
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…
