Chapter 1.2, Problem 12STE

An algorithm is approximately the same thing as a recipe, but some kinds of steps that would be allowed in a recipe are not allowed in an algorithm. Which steps in the following recipe would be allowed in an algorithm?

Place 2 teaspoons of sugar in mixing bowl.

Add 1 egg to mixing bowl.

Add 1 cup of milk to mixing bowl.

Add 1 ounce of rum, if you are not driving.

Add vanilla extract to taste.

Beat until smooth.

Pour into a pretty glass.

Sprinkle with nutmeg.

Check My Work Here is an algorithm for calling a friend on the telephone: Step Operation 1. Dial the phone and wait for either an answer or a busy signal 2. If the line is not busy then do Steps 3 and 4 3. Talk as long as you want 4. Hang up the phone, you are done 5. Otherwise (the line is busy) 6. Wait exactly 1 minute 7. Go back to Step 1 and try again During execution, this algorithm could get into a situation in which, as in the deadlock problem, no useful work can ever get done. Describe the problem, explain why it occurs, and suggest how it could be solved.
Algorithm Analysis Start with 102 coins on a table, 98 showing heads and 4 showing tails. There are two ways to change the coins: • flip over any ten coins, or • place n+ 1 additional coins, all showing tails, on the table where n is the number of heads currently showing on the table. For example, you might begin by flipping nine heads and one tail, yielding 90 heads and 12 tails, then add 91 tails, yielding 90 heads and 103 tails. (a) Model this situation as a state machine, carefully defining the set of states, the start state, and the possible state transitions. (b) Optionally, explain how to reach a state with exactly one tail showing. (c) Consider the following derived variables: C ::= the number of coins on the table H ::= the number of heads on the table T::= the number of tails on the table C, ::= parity (C) H2 ::= parity(H) T2 ::= parity(T) Here the parity : Z → {0,1} function is defined as parity(n) = 0 when n is even and 1 otherwise. Which of these variables is strictly…
Write a detailed algorithm for making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich(or some other everyday activity). You should assume that you are talkingto someone who is conceptually able to do the task, but has never actuallydone it before. For example, you might be telling a young child.
