Problems Sets
- Reversing a linked list. Given a linked list, reverse it. Input must be read from a file, "list.dat". It will just be a list of integers. The total number is not known. The program should create a linked list with the given numbers in the same order. Each node contains the value and a pointer to the next node of the list. Defining just TWO additional node pointers you must inverse the given list and print out the numbers in the list. NO OTHER VARIABLE of any type should be defined. Hence the output will be reverse of the input. eg. Input file reads, 3 1 4 2 Linked list will be, Head -> 3 -> 1 -> 4 -> 2 -> Null the the reversed list must be, Null <- 3 <- 1 <- 4 <- 2 <- Head So the output will be, 2,4,1,3.
- Write a code to generate the (nasent) Koch curve. A (nasent) koch curve is drawn iteratively. At any iteration the curve is a set of straight lines. In every iteration each line from the previous iteration is split into three parts and the middle part is replaced with two sides of the equilateral triangles in which the middle part is the third side. You start with a straight line ______. (0,0)-(90,0) In the next iteration you get four lines __/\__ (0,0)-(30,0), (30,0)-(45,15*sqrt(3)), (45,15*sqrt(3))-(60,0) and (60,0)-(90,0) In the next iteration you apply the same division tecnique to all the four line segemetns (0,0)-(30,0), (30,0)-(45,15*sqrt(3)), (45,15*sqrt(3))-(60,0) and (60,0)-(90,0). And so on... Generate the points after n iterations starting with (0,0)-(x,0) Input: one integer for the number of iterations, n and one float for x. n is typically 6 to 8 Output: All the points of the koch curve after n iterations must be written to a file, "koch.dat" in order from left to right. Use all float values. eg. n=1, x=90 0 0 30 0 45 25.98 60 0 90 0 Note: x and y co-ordinates come alternately. A point occurs on two adjusent lines but is printed only once
- Enemies and boats.
A list of persons represented by numbers 1 to n are given along with their enemies in that list. You must group them into two boats such that no person is in the same boat with his enemy. Assume a solution exists. eg. 1's enemies 2,3 2's enemies 1 3's enemies (none) 4's enemies 3 5's enemies 4,1 The groups will be 1,4 2,3,5 Input: Input should be read from a file, "enemies.dat". First the number of persons in the list is given. Then the enemies for each person is given, terminated by a zero. eg. for the discussed case, input will read 5 2 3 0 1 0 0 3 0 1 4 0 note: Numbers between third and fourth zeros are four's enemies. Output: Output should be printed on the screen as two lines. First line is the list of people on boat one and the next line is for boat two. - Euler's knight tour.
Do an Euler knight's tour. A knight starts at one of the squares of the chessboard and visits ALL the squares EXACTLY ONCE. Number the chessboard from 1 to 64 starting from one corner and traversing row wise. Start at square one and visit all the squares. Beware!! The brute force algorithm will burst out of memory! Output: Print out the number of the squares the knight visits in the order they are visited. - Cows and bulls.
Write a program that plays "Cows and bulls". The user thinks of a number less than 10000, with no two digits identical (like 1234. numbers like 0875 are allowed. But 5456 and 3922 are not because it contains 2 indentical digits). The program starts by guessing a number. The user gives the number of hits and misses. A hit is a number in the right place and a miss is a number in the wrong place. e.g If the the number you thought is 4273 the feedback for 2135 is 0 hit 2 miss 0913 is 1 hit 0 miss 4217 is 2 hit 1 miss Your program should use the feedback provided by the user for the next guess and keep guessing after every feedback till it gets the right number. A good program will get the number in about 7 guesses (on an average). - Knapsack problem.
A Sack is given with a specified volume. And a set of bags are given, each with a specified mass and volume. You have to fill the sack using some of bags such that the total volume of chosen bags is less than or equal to the volume of the sack and their total mass is maximum. Input: Input will be read from a file called "bags.dat". It will contain the number of bags, the volume of the sack, followed by the volume and the mass of the bags. eg. 6 100 10 2 50 10 20 5 40 9 30 5 35 8 Output: Output should be printed on the screen. It will be the number of all the bags to be used. For the given example it will be, 3,4,6 - Zigzag An n by m matrix with all its elements between 1 to 4 is given. The left top element(1,1) is 1 and right bottom element(m,n) is 4. You have to find out a continuous zigzag path connecting these two elements, such that, 1)small parts of the zigzag are lines connecting two elements. 2)The numbers in the zigzag path should read 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4... 3)The zigzag must touch all squares. Assume a solution exists. Example : Given: Solution should be: ;1 3 1 2 ;1 3 1-2 |/ \| | 2 1 4 3 2 1 4 3 / \ / 2 3 4 3 2-3 4 3 / /| 4 1 2 4; 4-1-2 4; Input: input should be read from a file called "matrix.dat". The file contains, row no. column no. elements. eg. 4 4 1 3 1 2........ Output: Output should be printed on the screen. Program should print out the row and column numbers of the elements in the order they are visited. eg. (1,1) (2,1) (1,2) (2,3) .....
- Partitioning
You have "n" numbers having values from 1 to n. You have to write a code to partition it into "m" groups such that sum of numbers in each group is equal to n*(n+1)/(2*m). Assume that numbers n and m are such that n*(n+1)/(2*m) is an integer. Your program should print out the numbers in each group. Or if it is not possible to partition the numbers into m groups, then print out that its not possible. Example : n=20 and m=3 Group 1 : 1,8,11,13,18,19 Group 2 : 2,5,12,14,17,20 Group 3 : 3,4,6,7,9,10,15,16 Input: Two integers n,m. Output: Print out to the screen the numbers in each group in a differnt line. Testing: We will run atleast 5 test cases for this problem. So if you cannot write a generalised code which will take care of all n and m, you can try to write codes based on specific conditions. - With Election fever on its high and politicians running short on time you have write an program which they can use to call junta to come forward and vote... The program should print Come-Sure-Come on a line by itself just once. No leading or trailing spaces. The output is case sensitive i.e. come-sure-come would be regarded as incorrect. As an concerned citizen of this country you should do your bit towards it. Ask yourself, Do you want an elected government or are you apathetic ?
- Elections over, mps' elected, the auction house set and the horse-trading is on. All the mp's are seated in a circle. Each belongs to either the H front or the T front of the regional faction of the secular group of the leftist liberal democratic anti-communalist pro-poor progressive party of India. In the center of the circle is THE ONE of the current polity Akal Bechari Bhaggayi (ABB). His aim is to convert all the mp's to either H or T group. But mps' being mps', having had years of experience are not so easy. They always go in pairs (so they can use each other as excuse later). In each step ABB can ask any 2 adjacent mp's to toggle their loyalty. Time however is of the essence. Everyone wants a piece of the action and if ABB doesnot convert fast he will be out of center stage. This is where you come into the picture. You being the brilliant students from IITB can surely use your skills to help him out. Help ABB figure out the minimum number of steps required to achieve his aim. You will be given a string consisting of H's and T's as input on a single line. The size of the input is bounded above by 1600. Consider the input string to be the Circle listed out clockwise from some point. You have to output the number of steps it will take ABB to convert all mp's to one type. The number is to be printed on a line by itself. No leading or trailing data. If it is not possible to do the conversion then output -1. Sample Input: HTTH
