S 5 D They start by making A the current vertex and assigning a tentative distance of 5 to B and a tentative distance of 6 to C. Then they mark A as visited, and since B has the lowest tentative distance, they mark B as the current vertex. Next, they update the tentative distance of C to be 5+2=7, and the tentative distance of D to be 5+3=8. Then they mark B as visited and select C (which has the lowest tentative distance) as current. What mistake did this student make? Answer in a sentence or two

In computer science and mathematics, the Josephus Problem (or Josephus permutation) is a theoretical problem. Following is the problem statement: There are n people standing in a circle waiting to be executed. The counting out begins at some point (rear) in the circle and proceeds around the circle in a fixed direction. In each step, a certain number (k) of people are skipped and the next person is executed. The elimination proceeds around the circle (which is becoming smaller and smaller as the executed people are removed), until only the last person remains, who is given freedom. Given the total number of persons n and a number k which indicates that k-1 persons are skipped and kth person is killed in circle. The task is to choose the place in the initial circle so that you are the last one remaining and so survive. For example, if n = 5 and k = 2, then the safe position is 3. Firstly, the person at position 2 is killed, then person at position 4 is killed, then person at position 1…
You are given the midsem and endsem marks for the N Students in the course. A student P is said to dominate a student Q, if the midsem and endsem marks of P are both greater than the respective midsem and endsem marks of Q. Design an efficient algorithm for finding all the students that are not dominated by any other student in the class.
Algorithms Question Three points P, Q, and R are said to be collinear if they are on a single line. To check whether the 3 points lie on the same line, we use the distance formula. If P, Q and R are three collinear points, then: Distance from P to Q + Distance from Q to R = Distance from P to R PQ + QR = PR The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by Hence, we can easily find the distance between the points P, Q and R, with the help of this formula. Design an algorithm (pseudocode) to check whether three points are collinear. In your solution include the input and the output.
Write a program for calculating these roots and for graphing them as points on the unit circle. Apply the program to z^n = 1 with n = 2,3...,10. Then extend the program to one for arbitrary roots, using an idea near the end of the text, and apply the program to examples of your choice. PLEASE SHOW THE STEP-BY STEP SOLUTION WITH EXPLANATION
The digital root of a positive integer is found by summing the digits of the integer. If the resulting value is a single digit then that digit is the digital root. If the resulting value contains two or more digits, those digits are summed and the process is repeated. This is continued as long as necessary to obtain a single digit. For example, consider the positive integer 24. Adding the 2 and the 4 yields a value of 6. Since 6 is a single digit, 6 is the digital root of 24. Now consider the positive integer 39. Adding the 3 and the 9 yields 12. Since 12 is not a single digit, the process must be repeated. Adding the 1 and the 2 yields 3, a single digit and also the digital root of 39. Input File: The input file will contain a list of positive integers, one per line. The end of the input will be indicated by an integer value of zero. Output File: For each integer in the input, output its digital root on a separate line of the output. Example Input: 24 39…

1. The entrance room (or the starting of the maze) is considered as level 1. Now, answer these following questions: (a). Write an algorithm to figure out how many maximum levels the maze can go up to. (b). Figure out the complexity of your algorithm. To create a maze some rooms of a building is connected. Starting room is called Entrance room. From the entrance room other rooms are there connected from it. However, some rooms of that maze- building have connected room from it, and some rooms do not have any connected room. Each of the room can have at most or up to two rooms connected from it. The starting room is the entrance room of the maze or building. Fore example: It can be any one like the followings: Exemple -: Room1 Roono Room Entrance Room Raom Room2 Room? Roo Roomo Here, maxinum level =7 Example -2; Entrace Room D- Room5 Room 2 Room 4 Maxximum level=3
Consider a group of balls where each ball is one of k colors. You can assume that there is an equal number of balls of each color. Each ball, aside from its color, has a written integer on it. The numbers are in no way associated with the color. a) Devise an algorithm that orders all the balls according to colors in a way that no ball comes before a ball of a lighter color. In other words, how do you order balls from lightest to darkest, however, inside one group (i. e., one color), balls can be ordered in any way with respect to the number written on the ball. Design an algorithm and analyze it. b) Now take the output from (a), and also order balls within the color. How much time is needed for this step?
The Monty Hall game is a statistical problem: there is a TV show (like the Monty Hall show) that allows contestants to choose between three doors, A, B, and C. Behind one of these doors is a new car (the winning door), and behind the other two are goats (the losing doors). After the contestant makes a choice, the game show host shows a goat behind one of the doors NOT chosen. The contestant is then given a choice to either switch to the other, non-opened door, or stick with their original guess. The interesting part of this “game" is the statistics involved-a person has a 1/3 chance of originally picking a winning door. The other door chosen – actually has a 2/3 chance of being a winning door. Therefore, it is in the contestant's best interest to switch doors. that which is not revealed to have a goat but also was not originally You will create a program that simulates the Monty Hall game, where the computer plays the role of the host. The program must have no outputs, but 1) Ask the…

The puzzle called the Towers of Hanoi consists of three pegs, one of which contains several rings stacked in order of descending diameter from bottom to top. The problem is to move the stack of rings to another peg. You are allowed to move only one ring at a time, and at no time is a ring to be placed on top of a smaller one. Observe that if the puzzle involved only one ring, it would be extremely easy. Moreover, when faced with the problem of moving several rings, if you could move all but the largest ring to another peg, the largest ring could then be placed on the third peg, and then the problem would be to move the remaining rings on top of it. Using this observation, develop a recursive algorithm for solving the Towers of Hanoi puzzle for an arbitrary number of rings.
Consider an undirected graph G = (V,E), in which each node u 2 V may be colored with some color between 1 and C. Your task is to write a program that determine the colors for the uncolored nodes in the graph such that • For all edges (u, v) 2 E, u and v have different colors. • The number of additional colors needed is minimum. Input (Standard input): Includes multiples lines. The first line contains two integers 1 n 1000, 1 m 100000 that correspond to the number of nodes and edges, respectively. Each of the following m lines contain two integers u and v, separated by one space, to denote an edge from u to v. Nodes are numbered from 1 to n. The last line contains n integers that are the colors of the nodes. Uncolored nodes are indicated with color 0. Output (Standard output): The first line contains an integer 0 D n that is the number of additional colors needed to color all the uncolored nodes in the graph. The next line contains n positive integers that are colors of the nodes. Your…
