The birthday paradox says that the probability that two people in a room will have the same birthday is more than half, provided

n, the number of people in the room, is more than 23. This property is not really a paradox, but many people find it surprising. Design a Java program that can test this paradox by a series of experiments on randomly generated birthdays, which test this paradox for n = 5, 10, 15, 20, ..., 100.

Answer:

The Java code is given below with appropriate comments for explanation

Explanation:

// java code to contradict birth day paradox

import java.util.Random;

public class BirthDayParadox

{

public static void main(String[] args)

{

   Random randNum = new Random();

   int people = 5;

   int[] birth_Day = new int[365+1];

   // setting up birthsdays

   for (int i = 0; i < birth_Day.length; i++)

       birth_Day[i] = i + 1;

 

   int iteration;

   // varying number n

   while (people <= 100)

   {

       System.out.println("Number of people: " + people);

       // creating new birth day array

       int[] newbirth_Day = new int[people];

       int count = 0;

       iteration = 100000;

       while(iteration != 0)

       {

           count = 0;

           for (int i = 0; i < newbirth_Day.length; i++)

           {

               // generating random birth day

               int day = randNum.nextInt(365);

               newbirth_Day[i] = birth_Day[day];

           }

           // check for same birthdays

           for (int i = 0; i < newbirth_Day.length; i++)

           {

               int bday = newbirth_Day[i];

               for (int j = i+1; j < newbirth_Day.length; j++)

               {

                   if (bday == newbirth_Day[j])

                   {

                       count++;

                       break;

                   }

               }

           }

           iteration = iteration - 1;

       }

       System.out.println("Probability: " + count + "/" + 100000);

       System.out.println();

       people += 5;

   }

}

}

For python how do I ask the user how many numbers they want to enter and then at the ending add those numbers up together?
Digiron [165]

I am not too familiar with the Python language, but the algorithm would be something like this:

1. create a variable for the sums of the number

2. read in how many numbers the user wants to enter (let's call it N)

and then create a for loop:

for N times

read in the next number

increase the sum variable by that number

Hopefully this helps!

In this exercise, your function will receive 2 parameters, the name of a text file, and a list of strings. The function will wri
diamong [38]

Answer:

# the function is defined

# it takes 2 arguments: filename and list of string

def solution(filename, listOfString):

   # the file is opened in write mode

   # so that we can write to it

   with open(filename, 'w') as file_object:

       # we loop through the entire list of string

       # this looping help us know what to write to the file

       for each_string in listOfString:

           # if the length of the string is less than 4

           # we write 'x' with a new line

           if len(each_string) < 4:

               file_object.write("x\n")

           # else if the length of the string is greater than equals 4

           # we write the fourth character

           # and also add new line

           else:

               file_object.write(each_string[3])

               file_object.write("\n")

Explanation:

The function is written in Python. It takes two argument; filename and list of string.

It opens the file in write mode and then loop through the list of string. During the loop, we know what to write to the file.

In the length of a string is less than 4; we write 'x' else we write the fourth character in the string. The fourth character has an index of 3 because string uses zero index counting like a string. Starting from zero; 0, 1, 2, 3, 4... the fourth character has an index of 3.

Describe a situation involving making a copy of a computer program or an entertainment file of some sort for which you think it
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Copying anything may be the computer program or an entertainment file, it is not a good thing as the original developers or the writers are going to feel bad since their hard work is being used by others without letting them know. However, if you are using it for academic purposes, or give them credit in your work, then the original writer will not feel that bad as he is being credited, and hence you can reuse in that case definitely, but always ensure to give the credit to the original writer.

As an example, if a film is copied like many in the past the Directors always feel bad, and they have the reason for feeling bad. The same thing is to technology.

Explanation:

The answer is self explanatory.
