Chapter 6, Problem 6.27E
(Eight Queens: Brute-Force Approaches) In this problem you’ll develop several brute-force approaches to solving the Eight Queens problem introduced in Exercise 6.26.
- Solve the Eight Queens problem, using the random brute-force technique developed in Exercise 6.25.
- Use an exhaustive technique (i.e., try all possible combinations of eight queens on the chessboard).
- Why do you suppose the exhaustive brute-force approach may not be appropriate for solving the Eight Queens problem?
- Compare and contrast the random brute-force and exhaustive brute-force approaches in general.

2: (Knapsack Problem) Using exhaustive search, find the most valuable subset of items
that fit into the knapsack if the knapsack capacity is 10kg. Since it is exhaustive search,
you need to show all possible options of picking the objects, calculate the value for
each, mark those which are not feasible, and pick the best.

Problem D: Different Dice Game
Consider the following game for two players:
The first player rolls a pair of dice of fair six-sided dice. If the two dice show different numbers,
the player's score is the larger of the two numbers. Otherwise, the player's score is the sum of the
two numbers.
At this point, the player is asked if they want to remove their lower die and re-roll one die. If
they say no, the player keeps her score and their turn is over. If they say yes, then they roll one
more die and the number showing on this die replaces the lower of the original two rolls. Then
these two dice rolls are scored accordingly. (For example, if the initial roll was a 2 and 5, if the
player doesn't roll again, she gets 5 points. If she does roll again and obtains a 4, her score is still
5. If she rolled again and obtained a 6, her score would be a 6. If she rollwed again and obtained
a 5, her score would be a 10.)
The second player goes after the first, doing the exact same steps as the first…

(10 points) The Towers of Hanoi is a famous problem for studying recursion in computer science and searching in artificial intelligence.

To solve the problem by using search methods, we need first formulate the problem. Supposing there are K pegs and N disk. Answer the following questions.

- ## 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.

- Problem Description: In the Whimsical Library, each book is enchanted with a magical code to ensure the protection of knowledge. The validation process for these magical codes involves a combination of mathematical spells. The validation process is described as follows: Take the sum of the digits at odd positions from left to right. Take the sum of the squared digits at even positions from left to right. If the absolute difference between the results from step 1 and step 2 is a prime number, the book code is considered valid; otherwise, it is invalid. Example 1: Consider the magical book code 86420137. Step 1. Take the sum of the digits at odd positions from left to right. 8+4+0+3=15 Step 2. Take the sum of the squared digits at even positions from left to right. 6^2+2^2+1^2+7^2=36+4+1+49 = 90 Step 3. If the absolute difference between the results from step 1 and step 2 is a prime number. 115-901 75 (not a prime number) Book code 86420137 is invalid.

The winner of the trick is determined by the following rules:1. If one or more cards of the trump suit have been played to the trick, the trick is won by the highest ranking trump card, regardless of the other cards played.2. If no trump cards have been played to the trick, the trick is won by the highest card of the suit of the first card played to the trick. Cards of any other suits, regardless of their rank, are powerless to win that trick.3.

For example, the gcd of 8 and 12 is 4. Why? Divisors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, 8. Divisors of 12 are 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 Thus, the common divisors of 8 and 12 are 1, 2, 4. Out of these common divisors, the greatest one is 4. Therefore, the greatest common divisor (gcd) of 8 and 12 is 4. Write a programming code for a function FindGCD(m,n) that find the greatest common divisor. You can use any language of Java/C++/Python/Octave. Find GCD Algorithm: Step 1 Make an array to store common divisors of two integers m, n. Step 2 Check all the integers from 1 to minimun(m,n) whether they divide both m, n. If yes, add it to the array. Step 3 Return the maximum number in the array.arrow_forward
