Types of Loop

Loops are the elements of programming in which a part of code is repeated a particular number of times. Loop executes the series of statements many times till the conditional statement becomes false.

Loops

Any task which is repeated more than one time is called a loop. Basically, loops can be divided into three types as while, do-while and for loop. There are so many programming languages like C, C++, JAVA, PYTHON, and many more where looping statements ca…

While Loop

Loop is a feature in the programming language. It helps us to execute a set of instructions regularly. The block of code executes until some conditions provided within that Loop are true.

Chapter 4, Problem 21PC

Dice Game

Write a program that plays a simple dice game between the computer and the user. When the program runs, a loop should repeat 10 times. Each iteration of the loop should do the following:

Generate a random integer in the range of 1 through 6. This is the value of the computer’s die.
Generate another random integer in the range of 1 through 6. This is the value of the user’s die.
The die with the highest value wins. (In case of a tie, there is no winner for that particular roll of the dice.)

As the loop iterates, the program should keep count of the number of times the computer wins, and the number of times that the user wins. After the loop performs all of its iterations, the program should display who was the grand winner, the computer or the user,

(Greedy Algorithms) Describe an efficient algorithm that, given a set {x1, x2, . . ., xn} of points on the real line, determines the smallest set of unit-length closed intervals that contains all of the given points. Argue that your algorithm is correct.

What does the value of the top variable indicate in this ArrayStack implementation? What will happen if we call pop on this stack? What value will be returned, and what changes will occur in the array and the top variable? 3. If we push the value "echo" onto the stack, where will it be stored in the array, and what will be the new value of top? 4. Explain why index 0 contains the string "alpha" even though top is currently 3. 5. What would the state of the stack look like (values in the array and value of top) after two consecutive pop 0 operations?

Please solve and show all work. Suppose there are four routers between a source and a destination hosts. Ignoring fragmentation, an IP datagram sent from source to destination will travel over how many interfaces? How many forwarding tables will be indexed to move the datagram from the source to the destination?
