A Rajesh teaches a cooking class. The course is attended by NN students, numbered 11 to NN. The cook must participate in the presence before each class, i.e. call out the names of the students one by one and indicate which students are present. Each student has a first and last name. To save time, Rajesh only wants to call up students' first names. However, if there are multiple students with the same first name, the Rajesh must call out the full names (first and last names) of all those students. For any student who does not share a first name with any other student, the cook can still only call that student's first name. Help the Rajesh decide for each student whether to call that student's full name or just their first name. Note: Please Answer in java language only. Input 1 1 hasan jaddouh Output hasan
There are four people who want to cross a rickety bridge; they all begin on the same side. You have 17 minutes to get them all across to the other side. It is night, and they have one flashlight. A maximum of two people can cross the bridge at one time. Any party that crosses, either one or two people, must have the flashlight with them. The flashlight must be walked back and forth; it cannot be thrown, for example. Person 1 takes 1 minute to cross the bridge, person 2 takes 2 minutes, person 3 takes 5 minutes, and person 4 takes 10 minutes. A pair must walk together at the rate of the slower person's pace. Write the specification of an algorithm that solves the problem.
Bowling involves 10 frames. Each frame starts with 10 pins. The bowler has two throws to knock all 10 pins down. The total score is the sum of pins knocked down, with some special rules. For the first 9 frames: If all 10 pins are knocked down on a frame's first throw (a "strike"), that frame's score is the previous frame plus 10 plus the next two throws. (No second throw is taken). If all 10 pins are knocked down after a frame's second throw (a "spare"), that frame's score is the previous frame plus 10 plus the next throw. In the 10th frame, if the bowler's first throw is a strike, or the first two throws yields a spare, the bowler gets a third throw. The 10th frame's score is the previous frame's score plus the pins knocked down in the 10th frame's two or three throws. Given integers represents all throws for a game, output on one line each frame's score followed by a space (and end with a newline). Note that the number of throws may be as few as 11 (strikes in first 9 frames,…
