A terrible new disease, HORSEVID, has begun to spread among horses worldwide. Stable manager Jimmy is trying to take as many pre

cautions as possible to protect his herd from infection.
Stable manager Jimmy's barn is a long narrow building containing N stalls in a row (2≤N≤105). Some of these stalls are currently occupied by horses, and some are vacant. Having read about the importance of "social distancing", Stable manager Jimmy wants to maximize D, where D is the distance between the closest two occupied stalls. For example, if stalls 3 and 8 are the closest that are occupied, then D=5.

Two new horses recently joined Jimmy's herd and he needs to decide to which formerly-unoccupied stalls they should be assigned. Please determine how he can place his two new horses so that the resulting value of D is still as large as possible. Stable manager Jimmy cannot move any of his existing horses; he only wants to assign stalls to the new horses.

INPUT:

The first line of input contains N.

The next line contains a string of length N of 0s and 1s describing the sequence of stalls in the barn. 0s indicate empty stalls and 1s indicate occupied stalls. The string has at least two 0s, so there is at least enough room for two new horses.

OUTPUT:

Please print the largest value of D

(the closest distance between two occupied stalls) that Stable manager Jimmy can achieve after adding his two new horses in an optimal fashion.

SAMPLE INPUT:

14
10001001000010


SAMPLE OUTPUT:
2
In this example, Stable manager Jimmy could add horses to make the occupancy string look like 10x010010x0010, where x's indicate the new horses. In this case D=2. It is impossible to add the new horses to achieve any higher value of D.

Answer:

Explanation:

Well here you only have to add 2 new horses .... so simply what you can do is find 2 slots where the gap is maximum ... lets take the given example in detail to understand the same.... here 10001001000010 here you can observe that the difference between the first two filled slots is 3 then 2 then 4 then 1....... make it a separate array ...... now as i said that we just need to place two new horses so we just need two of the biggest numbers from this array and place the new horses at the center of the corresponding slots ... like here 3 and 4 are greatest ... so one horse is placed in between the gap corresponding to 3  while other at 4 ..... after making the new array answer can be find in linear time itself... I hope this makes sense ....

Now lets understand how to program it easily so firstly after scanning all stuff ..... we will make a gap array .... then just think now what we will do is find the greatest two numbers then again putting the horses and then find our answers .... so now an easy approach is that instead of making the string again and again searching for answer .... what we do is just do half of the two greatest ones and again find the greatest one in array....

Instructions The population of town A is less than the population of town B. However, the population of town A is growing faster
weeeeeb [17]

Answer: The c++ program is given below.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

float townA, townB, growthA, growthB, populationA, populationB;

    int year=0;    

cout<<"Enter present population of town A : ";

cin >> townA;  

cout<<endl<<"Enter present growth rate of town A : ";

cin >> growthA;

growthA = growthA/100;  

cout<<endl<<"Enter present population of town B : ";

cin >> townB;  

cout<<endl<<"Enter present growth rate of town B : ";

cin >> growthB;

growthB = growthB/100;  

do

{

    populationA = townA + (townA * growthA);

    populationB = townB + (townB * growthB);      

    townA = populationA;

    townB = populationB;      

    year++;      

}while(populationA < populationB);  

cout<<endl<<"After " <<year<< " years, population of town A is "<<populationA << " and population of town B is "<< population<<endl;

return 0;

}

Explanation:

All the variables for population and growth rate are declared with float datatype.

The user inputs the present population of both the towns.

The growth rate entered by the user is the percentage growth.

For example, town A has 10% growth rate as shown in the output image.

The program converts 10% into float as 10/100.

growthA = growthA/100;

growthB = growthB/100;

The above conversion is done to ease the calculations.

The year variable is declared as integer and initialized to 0.

The growth in population is computed in a do-while loop. After each growth is calculated, the year variable is incremented by 1.

The loop continues until population of town A becomes greater than or equal to population of town B as mentioned in the question.

Once the loop discontinues, the final populations of town A and town B and the years needed for this growth is displayed.

The new line is introduced using endl keyword.

The function main has return type int hence, 0 is returned at the end of the program.

Case Project 2-1: The Differences Between IPv4 and IPv6 You are a network engineer for an IT consulting firm named F1IT. One of
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Following are the difference to this question:

Explanation:

IPv4:

The IPv_4 is uses the packet changed method, that is a Link Layer networks(like Ethernet).  It has 4.3 billion addresses capacity. It uses the 32-bit logical device address, that written in decimal language. It is divided by 4 bytes E.g. 192.168.1.1  

The host part and network part are 2 parts. For a network, the host part may vary, while for the entire subnet, the network part remains equal. The scheme of 232 addresses is available on application depends on security.

IPv6:

The IPv6 is used in the internet protocoland it is higher than IPv4. It can provide endless number Opf addresses, and use to solves the problem of IPv4 exhaustion and satisfies  the demand for rising networking.

IPv4 Substitutor Built to meet more IP address requirements. In the Logical address of 128-bit Written hexadecimally and with colons divided, and the Space of 128 addresses are required. IPsec is an integrated security feature.

How do you play ps2 discs on a ps3 console
ExtremeBDS [4]
Look at the serial number. Find the sticker on the back of your PS3. The last digits will inform you as to whether you have full hardware backwards compatibility, or limited software emulation:
CECHAxx (60 GB) and CECHBxx (20 GB) - Full hardware backwards compatibility.
CECHCxx (60 GB) and CECHExx (80 GB) - Limited hardware emulation (These models do not contain the Emotion Engine, as it is instead emulated by the Cell processor). You may run into issues with some PS2 discs.
CECHGxx and above - These models are not backwards compatible.
