2.use loops to create a 4x6 matrix in which the value of each element is two times its row number minus three times its column number. for example, the value of element (2,5) is 2x2-3x5=-11.

You will be given two character arrays of the same size, one will contain a number of ships. ships will move around the character array based on which way they are facing and the route they are on. routes are given in the other array. the route consists of '-' and '|' for straight paths, '\' and '/' for curves, and '+' for intersections. there are ships on these routes. ships always face a direction, '^' for up, '> ' for right, 'v' for down, and '< ' for left. any time the ships hit a '\' or a '/' it will turn as you would expect a ship to turn (e.g. a '^' that moves into a '/' will turn right). at an intersection, ships will always continue straight through. all ships move at the same speed, ships take turns moving and all ships move during one 'tick'. the one in the most top left goes first, followed by those to its right, then the ones in the next row. it iterates along the rows and then down the columns. each ship moves one space on its turn moving along the route. your function needs to return the position of the first collision between two ships and the number of ticks before the crash occurred.

Suppose you have 9 coins and one of them is heavier than others. other 8 coins weight equally. you are also given a balance. develop and algorithm to determine the heavy coin using only two measurements with the of the balance. clearly write your algorithm in the form of a pseudocode using the similar notation that we have used in the class to represent sorting algorithms

Write a program that uses a random number generator to generate a two digit positive integer and allows the user to perform one or more of the following operations: a. double the number. b. reverse the digits of the number. c. raise the number to the power of 2, 3, or 4. d. sum the digits of the number. e. if the number is a two-digit number, then raise the first digit to the power of the second digit. f. if the number is a three-digit number and the last digit is less than or equal to 4, then raise the first two digits to the power of the last digit. after performing an operation if the number is less than 10, add 10 to the number. also, after each operation determine if the number is prime. each successive operation should be performed on the number generated by the last operation. your program should not contain any global variables and each of these operations must be implemented by a separate function. also, your program should be menu driven. 7. (fraction calculator) write a program that
