C Programming Language. A chessboard consists of 8 squares x 8 squares for a total of 64 squares. The squares of the chessboard are identified, from the perspective of the player with the white pieces, by the letters a – h for the 8 columns or files (starting from that player’s left), and 1 – 8 for the 8 rows or ranks (starting closest to that player). One of the chess pieces, the knight, can move in any direction by...

One rook is placed in some unit squares of a 100 × 100 chessboard. Castles in the same row or in the same column, with no other castles threaten each other. Regardless of the number and location of the castles, if any two castles that threaten each other can be in different colors, what is the smallest value of the number n that can always be painted in one of n colors?

Logic/ Game theoryLet f(n) count the different perfect covers of a 2-by-n chessboard by dominoes. Evaluate f(1),f(2),f(3),f(4), and f(5). Try and find (and verify) a simple relation that the counting function f satisfies. Compute f(12) using the relation. Here is a solution it is titled exercise 4a.) in the packet on page 3: http://jade-cheng.com/uh/coursework/math-475/homework-01.pdf Not sure on how to follow the logic.

THIS IS JAVA Magic squares. An n × n matrix that is filled with the numbers 1, 2, 3, . . ., n^2 is a magic square if the sum of the elements in each row, in each column, and in the two diagonals is the same value. Write a program that randomly generates 16 numbers, and it assigns them to the array after testing that the number was not already assigned. The program should test whether they form a...

A rectangular piece of metal is 30in longer than it is wide. Squares with sides 6in long are cut from the four corners and the flaps are folded upward to form an open box. If the volume of the box is 2706incubed3, what were the original dimensions of the piece of metal? what is the original width? what is the original length?
