You are given n balls arranged in a row. Each ball i has a value v;. Give a polynomial time algorithm to pick a maxi- mum value subset S of the balls so that no three consecutive balls are in S. For example, say the ball values are 2 2 3 2 2 then, the maximum value subset has the first, second, fourth and the fifth ball, and their total value is 2+ 2+2+2 = 8. For this problem, you also need to write a proof of correctness of the recurrence.

There are n students who studied at a late-night study for final exam. The time has come to order pizzas. Each student has his own list of required toppings (e.g. mushroom, pepperoni, onions, garlic, sausage, etc). Everyone wants to eat at least half a pizza, and the topping of that pizza must be in his reqired list. A pizza may have only one topping. How to compute the minimum number of pizzas to order to make everyone happy?
Input: A set of n movies. A positive integer k. A positive integer q. A function f that takes two movies X, Y, and gives a positive similarity score f(X,Y) in constant time. Task: Design an efficient algorithm that partitions the movies into exactly k disjoint sets such that movies from different sets have a similarity score at most q. If such groups cannot be made, then print 'Unsatisfiable'. Give an efficient algorithm (to the best of your knowledge) and a formal proof of correctness for your algorithm. An answer without any formal proof will be considered incomplete. Analyze the running time of the algorithm. You must write down your algorithm as pseudocode or describe it as a set of steps (as we do in the class). Do not provide code that is written in a code editor using C/C++/Python/Java, etc.
Let S = {1, 2, 3, ..., n). Consider the following two statements: 1. If 12 is odd, then S has the same number of subsets with an odd number of elements as subsets with an even number of elements. 2. If 72 is even, then S has the same number of subsets with an odd number of elements as subsets with an even number of elements. Which of the following is correct? Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false. Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is true. Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is false. Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true.
Python Programming Lab: You are given N sets of integers A1,A2,…,AN. For each valid i, let's denote the elements of the set Ai by {ci,1,ci,2,…,ci,|Ai|}. Find the number of ways to choose a sequence (a1,a2,…,aN) such that: ai∈Ai for each valid I ai≠ai+1 for each valid i and a1≠aN. Since this number may be large, compute it modulo 998,244,353. Write a python code to print a single line containing one integer the number of ways to choose (a1,a2,…,aN) Input Case: 3 3 1 2 3 2 1 2 2 2 3 Output: 3
Given an array of 1000 integers: a. In the best-case scenario, what is the fewest possible comparisons needed to find a number using linear search? b. In the worst-case scenario, what is the most number of comparisons needed to find a number using linear search? c. How many comparisons will be done if we attempt to search for a number that does not exist in the list using linear search?
A wrestling tournament has 256 players. Each match includes 2 players. The winner each match will play another winner in the next round. The tournament is single elimination, so no one will wrestle after they lose. The 2 players that are undefeated play in the final game, and the winner of this match wins the entire tournament. How would you determine the winner? Here is one algorithm to answer this question. Compute 256/2 = 128 to get the number of pairs (matches) in the first round, which results in 128 winners to go on to the second round. Compute 128/2 = 64, which results in 64 matches in the second round and 64 winners, to go on to the third round. For the third round compute 64/2 = 32, so the third round has 64 matches, and so on. The total number of matches is 128 + 64 + 32+ .... Finish this process to find the total number of matches.
Correct answer will be upvoted else Multiple Downvoted. Don't submit random answer. Computer science. Ridbit begins with an integer n. In one action, he can perform one of the accompanying tasks: partition n by one of its appropriate divisors, or take away 1 from n in case n is more prominent than 1. An appropriate divisor is a divisor of a number, barring itself. For instance, 1, 2, 4, 5, and 10 are appropriate divisors of 20, however 20 itself isn't. What is the base number of moves Ridbit is needed to make to decrease n to 1? Input The principal line contains a solitary integer t (1≤t≤1000) — the number of experiments. The main line of each experiment contains a solitary integer n (1≤n≤109). Output For each experiment, output the base number of moves needed to lessen n to 1.
Correct answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Computer science. pair of positive integers (a,b) is called uncommon if ⌊ab⌋=amodb. Here, ⌊ab⌋ is the aftereffect of the integer division among an and b, while amodb is its remaining portion. You are given two integers x and y. Track down the number of uncommon sets (a,b) to such an extent that 1≤a≤x and 1≤b≤y. Input The main line contains a solitary integer t (1≤t≤100) — the number of experiments. The main line of the depiction of each experiment contains two integers x, y (1≤x,y≤109). Output For each experiment print the appropriate response on a solitary line.
Professor X wants his students to help each other in the chemistry lab. He suggests that every student should help out a classmate who scored less marks than him in chemistry and whose roll number appears after him. But the students are lazy and they don't want to search too far. They each pick the first roll number after them that fits the criteria. Find the marks of the classmate that each student picks. If a student is unable to find anyone print -1. Note: one student may be selected by multiple classmates.

Dingyu is playing a game defined on an n X n board. Each cell (i, j) of the board (1 2, he may only go to (2, n).) The reward he earns for a move from cell C to cell D is |value of cell C – value of cell D|. The game ends when he reaches (n, n). The total reward - is the sum of the rewards for each move he makes. For example, if n = 1 2 and A = 3 the answer is 4 since he can visit (1, 1) → (1, 2) → (2, 2), and no other solution will get a higher reward. A. Write a recurrence relation to express the maximum possible reward Dingyu can achieve in traveling from cell (1, 1) to cell (n, n). Be sure to include any necessary base cases. B. State the asymptotic (big-O) running time, as a function of n, of a bottom-up dynamic programming algorithm based on your answer from the previous part. Briefly justify your answer. (You do not need to write down the algorithm itself.)
As an investor, I always check the stock market in order to find good companies to invest in. Recently, I found that the best companies to invest in, are the ones that have largest sum formed by a strictly increasing set of numbers (a set where the next element is always greater than the current element). But before I invest, I need to know the position of the first element of the consecutive increasing numbers. Help me so we can start investing already! Note: If it is already the last element of the row in the array, the next element is the first element of the next row, if there exists a next row. Input 1. Number of rows Description This is the number of rows of the multidimensional array. 2. Number of columns Description This is the number of columns of the multidimensional array. 3. Elements of the multidimensional array Output The first line will contain a message prompt to input the number of rows. The second line will contain a message prompt to input the…
