You are a visitor at a political convention with delegates; each delegate is a member of exactly one political party. It is impo

ssible to tell which political party any delegate belongs to; in particular, you will be summarily ejected from the convention if you ask. However, you can determine whether any pair of delegates belong to the same party or not simply by introducing them to each other. Members of the same party always greet each other with smiles and friendly handshakes; members of different parties always greet each other with angry stares and insults.
Required:
Suppose more than half of the delegates belong to the same political party. Design a divide and conquer algorithm that identifies all member of this majority party and analyze the running time of your algorithm.

Answer:

The algorithm is as follows:

Step 1: Start

Step 2: Parties = [All delegates in the party]

Step 3: Lent = Count(Parties)

Step 4: Individual = 0

Step 5: Index = 1

Step 6: For I in Lent:

Step 6.1: If Parties[Individual] == Parties[I]:

Step 6.1.1: Index = Index + 1

Step 6.2: Else:

Step 6.2.1 If Index == 0:

Step 6.2.2: Individual = I

Step 6.2.3: Index = 1

Step 7: Else

Step 7.1: Index = Index - 1

Step 8: Print(Party[Individual])

Step 9: Stop

Explanation:

The algorithm begins here

Step 1: Start

This gets the political parties as a list

Step 2: Parties = [All delegates in the party]

This counts the number of delegates i.e. the length of the list

Step 3: Lent = Count(Parties)

This initializes the first individual you come in contact with, to delegate 0 [list index begins from 0]

Step 4: Individual = 0

The next person on the list is set to index 1

Step 5: Index = 1

This begins an iteration

Step 6: For I in Lent:

If Parties[Individual] greets, shakes or smile to Party[i]

Step 6.1: If Parties[Individual] == Parties[I]:

Then they belong to the same party. Increment count by 1

Step 6.1.1: Index = Index + 1

If otherwise

Step 6.2: Else:

This checks if the first person is still in check

Step 6.2.1 If Index == 0:

If yes, the iteration is shifted up

Step 6.2.2: Individual = I

Step 6.2.3: Index = 1

If the first person is not being checked

Step 7: Else

The index is reduced by 1

Step 7.1: Index = Index - 1

This prints the highest occurrence party

Step 8: Print(Party[Individual])

This ends the algorithm

Step 9: Stop

The algorithm, implemented in Python is added as an attachment

<em>Because there is an iteration which performs repetitive operation, the algorithm running time is: O(n) </em>

**NEED HELP??!! Computer Science Questions!! KNOWING GIMP!!!!
Svetlanka [38]
<span>1. If my memory serves me well,  the answer is true. Free select tool is also called lasso and it’s used to free-hand selection. You can also combine free select tool segments with polygonal segments or other shapes.

2. I think this statement is definitely “False”. As I’ve mentioned before you can combine free selection with other selection features like polygonal by using anchors.

3. I’m not 100% sure, but I guess this one is true. As far as I remember, add to selection mode lets you to add new selection to any existing areas. So I think it’s possible to add selection to the existing one.

4. I think this one is also true. But it allows you just paint it, but it’s also kinda modification. Quick Mask allows you to isolate subject and paint selected object. It helps you not to brush subject accidentally. It’s a very useful tool as for me.

5. Yes, this statement is 100% true. But it could be gray for GIMP, because the mask is coded in gray tones, but I think that black is also gray tone. Color black or gray removes part of selection, and color white adds area to existing selection.

6. According to what I’ve mentioned before this one is also true, so there’s no need for additional explanation.

7. Another tool, similar to the Lasso/Free Select tool is the B) Scissors Tool. As there was mentioned intelligent scissors tool is almost the same as lasso but more user-friendly.

8. It’s false. You must click to the first point of your selection to finish the process or you will lose your selection.

9. I think this one is true. Paths tool includes two or more line segments connected by handle points. These points are kinda anchors I guess.

10. After making a selection using the Paths Tool, I must select the the D) Selection from Path button to turn my path into a selection. You can find it in path tool options.

11. Yes, it’s true, it allows you to make complex selections with curved or straight lines. Just drag one of the anchors to curve the line. Also you can create different geometrical figures with this tool.

12. Yes this is true. But there are much more cool blur filters than only Gaussian blur. Experiment on your own.

13. You can do all of the following given above. Every layer is kinda isolated image and you can modify it however you want.
<span>
14. I’m definitely sure that this statement is true. Just find layer drop down menu and follow the instructions given in this question. It’s simple.</span></span>

Explanation:

ASCII is an acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange and it was developed from a telegraph code. It is typically a character encoding standard that comprises of seven-bit (7-bit) set of codes.

ASCII character set is the character encoding standard that enables up to 128 different commonly used characters, numbers and symbols to be used in electronic communication systems. The ASCII character set is only used for encoding English language and it comprises of both the lower case and upper case letters of the 26 alphabets, number 0 to 9 and symbols.
