Given a list of integers, you want to know whether it is possible to divide the integers into two sets, so that the sum of one set is odd, and the sum of the other
set is a multiple of 10.
Every integer must be in one set or the other.
You can write a recursive helper method that takes any number of arguments and then call it inside the method, but you cannot use any loops.
Test cases:
oddAndTen([5, 5, 3])
true
oddAndTen ([5, 5, 4])
oddAndTen ([5, 5, 4, 1])
false
true
Java source code writing - a recursive algorithm.
Please use non-recursive and recursive ways to determine if a string s is a palindrome,
that is, it is equal to its reverse. Examples of palindromes include 'racecar' and
'gohangasalamiimalasagnahog'. Turn in your java source code file with three methods,
including one main() method.
Suppose N books of different sizes are placed on a table. You are asked to sort the books so that the books do not fall over easily as illustrated in the figure below. The only thing you are allowed to do is to pull out one book from anywhere in the way as the figure below and put it to place it again. Remember that you have quick eyes, you can immediately determine, which book is the smallest or largest to pull it out.
a) Design an algorithm (a set of steps) to sort the books.
b) This sorting problem is similar to a famous sorting algorithm. What is the name of this algorithm?

A simple algorithm to generate the maze is to start by creating an N x M grid of cells separated by walls on all sides, except for entrance and exit. Then continually choose a wall randomly, and knock it down if the cells are not already connected to each other. If we repeat the process until the starting and ending cells are connected, we have a maze. It is better to continue knocking down the walls until every cell is reachable from every cell as this would generate more false leads in the maze. Test you algorithm by creating a 15 x 15 grid, and print all the walls that have been knocked down.

- Given a list of integers, we want to know whether it is possible to choose a subset of some of the integers, such that the integers in the subset adds up to the given sum recursively. We also want that if an integer is chosen to be in the sum, the integer next to it in the list must be skipped and not chosen to be in the sum. Do not use any loops or regular expressions. Test cases: skipSum([2, 5, 10, 6], 12) true skipSum([2, 5, 10, 6], 7) false skipSum([2, 5, 10, 6], 16) false Given code: public static boolean skipSum (List list, int sum) { // call your recursive helper method return skipSumHelper (list, e, sum); 1. 2. 3. 4.arrow_forward1. Write a recursive method expFive(n) to compute y=5^n. For instance, if n is 0, y is 1. If n is 3, then y is 125. If n is 4, then y is 625. The recursive method cannot have loops. Then write a testing program to call the recursive method. If you run your program, the results should look like this: > run RecExpTest Enter a number: 3 125 >run RecExpTest Enter a number: 3125 2. For two integers m and n, their GCD(Greatest Common Divisor) can be computed by a recursive function. Write a recursive method gcd(m,n) to find their Greatest Common Divisor. Once m is 0, the function returns n. Once n is 0, the function returns m. If neither is 0, the function can recursively calculate the Greatest Common Divisor with two smaller parameters: One is n, the second one is m mod n. Although there are other approaches to calculate Greatest Common Divisor, please follow the instructions in this question, otherwise you will not get the credit. Meaning your code needs to follow the given algorithm. Then…arrow_forwardA prime number is an integer greater than 1 whose only positive divisors are 1 and the integer itself. The Greek mathematician Eratosthenes developed an algorithm, known as the Sieve of Eratosthenes, for finding all prime numbers less than or equal to a given number n—that is, all primes in the range 2 through n. Consider the list of numbers from 2 through n. Two is the first prime number, but the multiples of 2 (4, 6, 8,...) are not, and so they are crossed out in the list. Hie first number after 2 that was not crossed out is 3, the next prime. We then cross out from the list all higher multiples of 3 (6, 9, 12,…). The next number not crossed out is 5, the next prime, and so we cross out all higher multiples of 5 (10, 15, 20,…). We repeat this procedure until we reach the first number in the list that has not been crossed out and whose square is greater than n. All the numbers that remain in the list are the primes from 2 through n. Write a program that uses this sieve method and an…arrow_forward

Computer science. anglers have recently gotten back from a fishing excursion. The I-th angler has gotten a fish of weight man-made intelligence. Anglers will flaunt the fish they got to one another. To do as such, they initially pick a request where they show their fish (every angler shows his fish precisely once, in this way, officially, the request for showing fish is a stage of integers from 1 to n). Then, at that point, they show the fish they discovered by the picked request. At the point when an angler shows his fish, he may either become glad, become dismal, or stay content. Assume an angler shows a fish of weight x, and the most extreme load of a formerly shown fish is y (y=0 if that angler is quick to show his fish). Then, at that point: in the event that x≥2y, the angler becomes cheerful; in the event that 2x≤y, the angler becomes miserable; in the event that none of these two…arrow_forward
- Write recursive methods for the following operations: • removeDup(String s): takes string s and returns another string r constructed from s after removing all duplicates. For example, when s = "pineapples", r will be "pineals". • intersection(String s1, String s2): takes two duplicate-free strings and returns the string consisting of all letters that appear in both s1 and s2. • union(String s1, String s2): takes two duplicate-free strings and returns the string consisting of all letters that appear in either s1 or s2. • difference(String s1, String s2): takes two duplicate-free strings and returns the string consisting of all letters that appear only in s1. For example, when s1 = "aples" and s2 = "pears", intersection(s1, s2) will return "apes", union(s1, s2) will "aplesr", and difference(s1, s2) "l". Calling method removeDup() is not allowed in intersection(s1, s2) , union(s1, s2) or difference(s1, s2) method. Your program should check strings are duplicate free before they are…arrow_forwardComplete Through this method /** * Count the number of occurrences of substrings "baba" or "mama" * in the input string recursively.

The idea is to begin with a start word and then change one letter at a time until you arrive at an end word. Each word along the way must be an English word. For example, starting from FISH, you can arrive at MAST through the following word ladder:FISH, WISH, WASH, MASH, MAST Write a program that uses recursion to find the word ladder given a start word and an end word, or that determines no word ladder exists. Use the file words.txt that is available online with the source code for the book as your dictionary of valid words. This file contains 87,314 words. Your program does not need to find the shortest word ladder between words; any word ladder will do if one exists. list aalii aardvark aardvarks aardwolf aba abaca abaci abacist aback abacus abacuses abaft abalone abalones abamp abampere abandon abandoned abandonee abandoner abandonersarrow_forward
