Noah’s Ark Backtracking Algorithm
In this challenge, we are going to use a backtracking algorithm to solve a puzzle game called Noah’s Ark. First, you will need to fully understand how the game works. You can check the “How To Play” tab on this…
Prime Factor Tree Algorithm
The Prime Factor Tree is a visual technique used in Maths to workout all the prime factors of a large number. With this approach, all the leaf nodes (nodes without sub-branches) are the prime factors of the root node. For…
TCP/IP Protocols and Packet Switching
The TCP/IP protocols are a suite of protocols used to support different types of communication between devices over an IP network such as the Internet. These protocols resulted from research and development conducted by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects…
MI6: Mission Alpha
This is a confidential mission with the highest level of priority. The MI6 needs your skill to complete a very confidential mission: Mission Code: Alpha-01 Mission Priority: Critical Mission Context: The MI6 network has been hacked! As a result, all…
Dice Score Frequency Analysis
In this challenge we will use a Python algorithm to perform a frequency analysis of the score obtained when throwing a set of two dice. Frequency analysis using 1 dice Let’s consider a single 6-sided dice. When using single dice,…
Random Odd and Even Numbers
In this challenge we will focus on using the random library to generate random numbers in Python. The randint() function is used to generate a random integer (whole number) within a given range. import random number = randint(1,100) The above…
Multi-threading in Python
In this blog post we will investigate how to implement concurrent processing in a Python program to allow multiple processes to be executed concurrently. To do so will create and run multiple threads in our program and will need to…
The Legend of Pachacuti’s Golden Shield
A few weeks ago, a group of British trekkers stumbled upon the remains of what is believed to be an undiscovered Inca temple in the middle of the Peruvian rainforest. One of their most unexplained discoveries is a collection of…
