Coin Problem
You are given 9 gold coins that look identical. One is
counterfeit and weighs a bit greater than the others, but
the difference is very small that only a balance scale can
tell it from the real one. You have a balance scale that
costs 25 USD per weighing.
Give an algorithm that finds the counterfeit coin with as
little weighting as possible. Of primary importance is that
your algorithm is correct; of secondary importance is that
your algorithm truly uses the minimum number of weightings
possible.
HINT: THE BEST ALGORITHM USES ONLY 2 WEIGHINGS!!!
Answer / pawan jain
1. Divide the coins in 3 groups of 3 coins each
2. Put 2 groups in the weighing scale
3a. If both the groups weigh equal
1. Pick 2 coins from the 3rd group and put in weighing scale
2. If they weigh equal, the 3rd coin is counterfeit.
Else the coin which weigh more is counterfeit
3b. If they do not weigh equal, pick the group with more
weight and do steps 3a1 and 3a2.

We need to write the function to check the password entered is correct or not based on the following conditions.. a) It must have atleast one lower case character and one digit. b)It must not have any Upper case characters and any special characters c) length should be b/w 5-12. d) It should not have any same immediate patterns like abcanan1 : not acceptable coz of an an pattern abc11se: not acceptable, coz of pattern 11 123sd123 : acceptable, as not immediate pattern adfasdsdf : not acceptable, as no digits Aasdfasd12: not acceptable, as have uppercase character

write a program in c++ to scramble a bmp image file using a scramble key 0x7c and an XOR logic. print out the original image, the scrambled image and the program. Note: the first 24bytes of a bmp file contain the header information of the file.
hello friends, given an expression we have to remove the unwanted brackets in that expression. Eg : (a+b) ---> a+b (a+b)*(c)-----> (a+b)*c. Please mail me if you know the logic. My mail id is : saravana6m@gmail.com. Thank you in advance :-)

Create a program to read two random data set in two files named data1.txt and data2.txt manifold contains integer numbers, whereas data2.txt file contains the float type numbers. Simpanlahmasing each into 2 pieces of data that is an array of type integer array and an array of type float, then calculate the average numbers in the second array.

1. Write a program that performs the following. The user inputs a number and then enters a series of numbers from 1 to that number. Your program should determine which number (or numbers) is missing or duplicated in the series, if any. For example, if the user entered 5 as the initial number and then entered the following sequences, the results should be as shown. Input Sequence Output ---------------------- --------------- 1 2 3 4 5 Nothing bad However, if 7 were the high number, the user would see the results on the right for the following number entries: Input Sequence Output ---------------------- --------------- 1 3 2 4 5 Missing 6 Missing 7 And if 10 were the high number and the user entered the numbers shown on the left, note the list of missing and duplicate numbers: Input Sequence Output ---------------------- --------------- 1 2 4 7 4 4 5 10 8 2 6 Duplicate 2 ( 2 times) Missing 3 Duplicate 4 ( 3 times ) Missing 9
