        "<p>In <a href=\"http://rosettacode.org/wiki/object-oriented programming\" title=\"object-oriented programming\">object-oriented programming</a> an object is active when its state depends on clock. Usually an active object encapsulates a <a href=\"http://rosettacode.org/wiki/task\" title=\"task\">task</a> that updates the object's state. To the outer world the object looks like a normal object with methods that can be called from outside. Implementation of such methods must have a certain synchronization mechanism with the encapsulated task in order to prevent object's state corruption.</p><p>A typical instance of an active object is an animation widget. The widget state changes with the time, while as an object it has all properties of a normal widget.</p><p>The task</p><p>Implement an active integrator object. The object has an input and output. The input can be set using the method Input. The input is a function of time. The output can be queried using the method Output. The object integrates its input over the time and the result becomes the object's output. So if the input is K(t) and the output is S, the object state S is changed to S + (K(t<sub>1</sub>) + K(t<sub>0</sub>)) * (t<sub>1</sub> - t<sub>0</sub>) / 2, i.e. it integrates K using the trapeze method. Initially K is constant 0 and S is 0.</p><p>In order to test the object:</p>",

        "<p>Define and give an example of the Amb operator.</p><p>The Amb operator expresses nondeterminism. This doesn't refer to randomness (as in \"nondeterministic universe\") but is closely related to the term as it is used in automata theory (\"non-deterministic finite automaton\").</p><p>The Amb operator takes a variable number of expressions (or values if that's simpler in the language) and yields a correct one which will satisfy a constraint in some future computation, thereby avoiding failure.</p><p>Problems whose solution the Amb operator naturally expresses can be approached with other tools, such as explicit nested iterations over data sets, or with pattern matching. By contrast, the Amb operator appears integrated into the language. Invocations of Amb are not wrapped in any visible loops or other search patterns; they appear to be independent.</p><p>Essentially Amb(x, y, z) splits the computation into three possible futures: a future in which the value x is yielded, a future in which the value y is yielded and a future in which the value z is yielded. The future which leads to a successful subsequent computation is chosen. The other \"parallel universes\" somehow go away.   Amb called with no arguments fails.</p><p>For simplicity, one of the domain values usable with Amb may denote failure, if that is convenient. For instance, it is convenient if a Boolean false denotes failure, so that Amb(false) fails, and thus constraints can be expressed using Boolean expressions like Amb(x * y == 8) which unless x and y add to four.</p><p>A pseudo-code program which satisfies this constraint might look like:</p><pre>let x = Amb(1, 2, 3)",
        "let y = Amb(7, 6, 4, 5)",
        "Amb(x * y = 8)",
        "print x, y</pre><p>The output is <code>2 4</code> because <code>Amb(1, 2, 3)</code> correctly chooses the future in which <code>x</code> has value <code>2</code>, <code>Amb(7, 6, 4, 5)</code> chooses <code>4</code> and consequently <code>Amb(x * y = 8)</code> produces a success.</p><p>Alternatively, failure could be represented using strictly <code>Amb()</code>:</p><pre>unless x * y = 8 do Amb()</pre><p>Or else Amb could take the form of two operators or functions: one for producing values and one for enforcing constraints:</p><pre>let x = Ambsel(1, 2, 3)",
        "let y = Ambsel(4, 5, 6)",
        "Ambassert(x * y = 8)",
        "print x, y</pre><p>where <code>Ambassert</code> behaves like <code>Amb()</code> if the Boolean expression is false, otherwise it allows the future computation to take place, without yielding any value.</p><p>The task is to somehow implement Amb, and demonstrate it with a program which chooses one word from each of the following four sets of character strings to generate a four-word sentence:</p><code>\"the\" \"that\" \"a\"</code>",
        "<code>\"frog\" \"elephant\" \"thing\"</code>",
        "<code>\"walked\" \"treaded\" \"grows\"</code>",
        "<code>\"slowly\" \"quickly\"</code>",
        "<p>The constraint to be satisfied is that the last character of each word (other than the last) is the same as the first character of its successor.</p><p>The only successful sentence is <code>\"that thing grows slowly\"</code>; other combinations do not satisfy the constraint and thus fail.</p><p>The goal of this task isn't to simply process the four lists of words with explicit, deterministic program flow such as nested iteration, to trivially demonstrate the correct output. The goal is to implement the Amb operator, or a facsimile thereof that is possible within the language limitations.</p><p>====</p>",

        "<p>A <a href=\"http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Truncatable primes\" title=\"Truncatable primes\">truncatable prime</a> is one where all non-empty substrings that finish at the end of the number (right-substrings) are also primes when understood as numbers in a particular base. The largest such prime in a given (integer) base is therefore computable, provided the base is larger than 2.</p><p>Let's consider what happens in base 10. Obviously the right most digit must be prime, so in base 10 candidates are 2,3,5,7. Putting a digit in the range 1 to base-1 in front of each candidate must result in a prime. So 2 and 5, like the whale and the petunias in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, come into existence only to be extinguished before they have time to realize it, because 2 and 5 preceded by any digit in the range 1 to base-1 is not prime. Some numbers formed by preceding 3 or 7 by a digit in the range 1 to base-1 are prime. So 13,17,23,37,43,47,53,67,73,83,97 are candidates. Again, putting a digit in the range 1 to base-1 in front of each candidate must be a prime. Repeating until there are no larger candidates finds the largest left truncatable prime.</p><p>Let's work base 3 by hand:</p><p>0 and 1 are not prime so the last digit must be 2. 12<sub>3</sub> = 5<sub>10</sub> which is prime, 22<sub>3</sub> = 8<sub>10</sub> which is not so 12<sub>3</sub> is the only candidate. 112<sub>3</sub> = 14<sub>10</sub> which is not prime, 212<sub>3</sub> = 23<sub>10</sub> which is, so 212<sub>3</sub> is the only candidate. 1212<sub>3</sub> = 50<sub>10</sub> which is not prime, 2212<sub>3</sub> = 77<sub>10</sub> which also is not prime. So there are no more candidates, therefore 23 is the largest left truncatable prime in base 3.</p><p>The task is to reconstruct as much, and possibly more, of the table in <a href=\"https://oeis.org/A103443\" title=\"link: https://oeis.org/A103443\">the OEIS</a> as you are able.</p><p>Related Tasks:</p>",

In an analogous way, a programming language may support \"first class environments\".</p><p>The environment is minimally, the set of variables accessable to a statement being executed. Change the environments and the same statement could produce different results when executed.</p><p>Often an environment is captured in a <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_(computer_science)\" title=\"wp: Closure_(computer_science)\">closure</a>, which encapsulates a function together with an environment. That environment, however, is not first-class, as it cannot be created, passed etc. independently from the function's code.</p><p>Therefore, a first class environment is a set of variable bindings which can be constructed at run-time, passed as a parameter, returned from a subroutine, or assigned into a variable. It is like a closure without code. A statement must be able to be executed within a stored first class environment and act according to the environment variable values stored within.</p><p>The task: Build a dozen environments, and a single piece of code to be run repeatedly in each of these envionments.</p><p>Each environment contains the bindings for two variables: A value in the <a href=\"http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Hailstone sequence\" title=\"Hailstone sequence\">Hailstone sequence</a>, and a count which is incremented until the value drops to 1. The initial hailstone values are 1 through 12, and the count in each environment is zero.</p><p>When the code runs, it calculates the next hailstone step in the current environment (unless the value is already 1) and counts the steps. Then it prints the current value in a tabular form.</p><p>When all hailstone values dropped to 1, processing stops, and the total number of hailstone steps for each environment is printed.</p>"

Note that it is not a requirement that the tour be \"closed\"; that is, the knight need not end within a single move of its start position.</p><p>Input and output may be textual or graphical, according to the conventions of the programming environment.  If textual, squares should be indicated in <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_chess_notation\" title=\"link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_chess_notation\">algebraic notation</a>.  The output should indicate the order in which the knight visits the squares, starting with the initial position.  The form of the output may be a diagram of the board with the squares numbered according to visitation sequence, or a textual list of algebraic coordinates in order, or even an actual animation of the knight moving around the chessboard.</p><p>Input: starting square</p><p>Output: move sequence</p>",

        "<p>:#  The ant then moves forward to the next cell, and repeat from step 1.</p>This rather simple ruleset leads to an initially chaotic movement pattern, and after about 10000 steps, a cycle appears where the ant moves steadily away from the starting location in a diagonal corridor about 10 pixels wide.

        "<p>The <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/linear congruential generator\" title=\"wp: linear congruential generator\">linear congruential generator</a> is a very simple example of a <a href=\"http://rosettacode.org/wiki/random number generator\" title=\"random number generator\">random number generator</a>. All linear congruential generators use this formula:</p>$r_{n + 1} = a \\times r_n + c \\pmod m$",
        "<p>Where:</p>$r_0$ is a seed.",
        "$r_1$, $r_2$, $r_3$, ..., are the random numbers.",
        "$a$, $c$, $m$ are constants.",
        "<p>If one chooses the values of $a$, $c$ and $m$ with care, then the generator produces a uniform distribution of integers from $0$ to $m - 1$.</p><p>LCG numbers have poor quality. $r_n$ and $r_{n + 1}$ are not independent, as true random numbers would be. Anyone who knows $r_n$ can predict $r_{n + 1}$, therefore LCG is not cryptographically secure. The LCG is still good enough for simple tasks like <a href=\"http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Miller-Rabin primality test\" title=\"Miller-Rabin primality test\">Miller-Rabin primality test</a>, or <a href=\"http://rosettacode.org/wiki/deal cards for FreeCell\" title=\"deal cards for FreeCell\">FreeCell deals</a>. Among the benefits of the LCG, one can easily reproduce a sequence of numbers, from the same $r_0$. One can also reproduce such sequence with a different programming language, because the formula is so simple.</p><p>The task is to replicate two historic random number generators.

        "<p>This \"longest string challenge\" is inspired by a problem that used to be given to students learning Icon. Students were expected to try to solve the problem in Icon and another language with which the student was already familiar. The basic problem is quite simple; the challenge and fun part came through the introduction of restrictions. Experience has shown that the original restrictions required some adjustment to bring out the intent of the challenge and make it suitable for Rosetta Code.</p><p>The original programming challenge and some solutions can be found at <a href=\"https://tapestry.tucson.az.us/twiki/bin/view/Main/LongestStringsPuzzle\" title=\"link: https://tapestry.tucson.az.us/twiki/bin/view/Main/LongestStringsPuzzle\">Unicon Programming TWiki / Longest Strings Puzzle</a>.

        "<p>If there are ties for the longest line, the program writes out all the lines that tie.</p>",

        "<p>Implement a solution to the basic problem that adheres to the spirit of the restrictions (see below).</p><p>Describe how you circumvented or got around these 'restrictions' and met the 'spirit' of the challenge. Your supporting description may need to describe any challenges to interpreting the restrictions and how you made this interpretation. You should state any assumptions, warnings, or other relevant points. The central idea here is to make the task a bit more interesting by thinking outside of the box and perhaps by showing off the capabilities of your language in a creative way. Because there is potential for considerable variation between solutions, the description is key to helping others see what you've done.</p><p>This task is likely to encourage a variety of different types of solutions. They should be substantially different approaches.</p><p>Given the input:</p>",

        "<p>Because of the variety of languages on Rosetta Code and the wide variety of concepts used in them, there needs to be a bit of clarification and guidance here to get to the spirit of the challenge and the intent of the restrictions.</p><p>The basic problem can be solved very conventionally, but that's boring and pedestrian. The original intent here wasn't to unduly frustrate people with interpreting the restrictions, it was to get people to think outside of their particular box and have a bit of fun doing it.</p><p>The guiding principle here should be to be creative in demonstrating some of the capabilities of the programming language being used. If you need to bend the restrictions a bit, explain why and try to follow the intent. If you think you've implemented a 'cheat', call out the fragment yourself and ask readers if they can spot why. If you absolutely can't get around one of the restrictions, explain why in your description.</p><p>Now having said that, the restrictions require some elaboration.</p>In general, the restrictions are meant to avoid the explicit use of these features.",
        "\"No comparison operators may be used\" - At some level there must be some test that allows the solution to get at the length and determine if one string is longer. Comparison operators, in particular any less/greater comparison should be avoided.  Representing the length of any string as a number should also be avoided. Various approaches allow for detecting the end of a string. Some of these involve implicitly using equal/not-equal; however, explicitly using equal/not-equal should be acceptable.",
        "\"No arithmetic operations\" - Again, at some level something may have to advance through the string. Often there are ways a language can do this implicitly advance a cursor or pointer without explicitly using a +, - , ++, --, add, subtract, etc.",
        "The datatype restrictions are amongst the most difficult to reinterpret. In the language of the original challenge strings are atomic datatypes and structured datatypes like lists are quite distinct and have many different operations that apply to them. This becomes a bit fuzzier with languages with a different programming paradigm. The intent would be to avoid using an easy structure to accumulate the longest strings and spit them out. There will be some natural reinterpretation here.<p>To make this a bit more concrete, here are a couple of specific examples:</p>",
        "<p>In C, a string is an array of chars, so using a couple of arrays as strings is in the spirit while using a second array in a non-string like fashion would violate the intent.</p>",
        "<p>In APL or J, arrays are the core of the language so ruling them out is unfair. Meeting the spirit will come down to how they are used.</p><p>Please keep in mind these are just examples and you may hit new territory finding a solution. There will be other cases like these. Explain your reasoning. You may want to open a discussion on the talk page as well.</p>",
        "The added \"No rereading\" restriction is for practical reasons, re-reading stdin should be broken. I haven't outright banned the use of other files but I've discouraged them as it is basically another form of a list. Somewhere there may be a language that just sings when doing file manipulation and where that makes sense; however, for most there should be a way to accomplish without resorting to an externality.<p>At the end of the day for the implementer this should be a bit of fun. As an implementer you represent the expertise in your language, the reader may have no knowledge of your language. For the reader it should give them insight into how people think outside the box in other languages. Comments, especially for non-obvious (to the reader) bits will be extremely helpful. While the implementations may be a bit artificial in the context of this task, the general techniques may be useful elsewhere.</p>"

        "<p>Background: The man or boy test was proposed by computer scientist <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Knuth\" title=\"wp: Donald_Knuth\">Donald Knuth</a> as a means of evaluating implementations of the <a href=\"http://rosettacode.org/wiki/:Category:ALGOL 60\" title=\":Category:ALGOL 60\">ALGOL 60</a> programming language. The aim of the test was to distinguish compilers that correctly implemented \"recursion and non-local references\" from those that did not.</p><p><blockquote style=\"font-style:italic\"></p>",
        "<p>I have written the following simple routine, which may separate the 'man-compilers' from the 'boy-compilers' &mdash; Donald Knuth</blockquote></p><p>Task: Imitate <a href=\"http://rosettacode.org/wiki/#ALGOL 60 - Knuth's example\" title=\"#ALGOL 60 - Knuth's example\">Knuth's example in Algol 60</a> in another language, as far as possible.</p><p>Details: Local variables of routines are often kept in <a href=\"http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ActivationRecord\" title=\"link: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ActivationRecord\">activation records</a> (also call frames). In many languages, these records are kept on a <a href=\"http://rosettacode.org/wiki/System stack\" title=\"System stack\">call stack</a>. In Algol (and e.g. in <a href=\"http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Smalltalk\" title=\"Smalltalk\">Smalltalk</a>), they are allocated on a <a href=\"http://rosettacode.org/wiki/heap\" title=\"heap\">heap</a> instead. Hence it is possible to pass references to routines that still can use and update variables from their call environment, even if the routine where those variables are declared already returned. This difference in implementations is sometimes called the <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funarg_problem\" title=\"wp: Funarg_problem\">Funarg Problem</a>.</p><p>In Knuth's example, each call to A allocates an activation record for the variable A. When B is called from A, any access to k now refers to this activation record. Now B in turn calls A, but passes itself as an argument. This argument remains bound to the activation record. This call to A also \"shifts\" the variables x<sub>i</sub> by one place, so eventually the argument B (still bound to its particular</p>",
        "<p>activation record) will appear as x4 or x5 in a call to A. If this happens when the expression x4 + x5 is evaluated, then this will again call B, which in turn will update k in the activation record it was originally bound to. As this activation record is shared with other instances of calls to A and B, it will influence the whole computation.</p><p>So all the example does is to set up a convoluted calling structure, where updates to k can influence the behavior</p>",
        "<p>in completely different parts of the call tree.</p><p>Knuth used this to test the correctness of the compiler, but one can of course also use it to test that other languages can emulate the Algol behavior correctly. If the handling of activation records is correct, the computed value will be &minus;67.</p><p>Performance and Memory: Man or Boy is intense and can be pushed to challenge any machine. Memory (both stack and heap) not CPU time is the constraining resource as the recursion creates a proliferation activation records which will quickly exhaust memory and present itself through a stack error.  Each language may have ways of adjusting the amount of memory or increasing the recursion depth. Optionally, show how you would make such adjustments.</p><p>The table below shows the result, call depths, and total calls for a range of k:</p>",

Show the effects of a strategy of the contestant always keeping his first guess so it can be contrasted with the strategy of the contestant always switching his guess.</p><p>Suppose you're on a game show and you're given the choice of three doors. Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. The car and the goats were placed randomly behind the doors before the show. The rules of the game show are as follows: After you have chosen a door, the door remains closed for the time being. The game show host, Monty Hall, who knows what is behind the doors, now has to open one of the two remaining doors, and the door he opens must have a goat behind it. If both remaining doors have goats behind them, he chooses one randomly. After Monty Hall opens a door with a goat, he will ask you to decide whether you want to stay with your first choice or to switch to the last remaining door. Imagine that you chose Door 1 and the host opens Door 3, which has a goat. He then asks you \"Do you want to switch to Door Number 2?\" Is it to your advantage to change your choice? (<a href=\"http://www.usd.edu/~xtwang/Papers/MontyHallPaper.pdf\" title=\"link: http://www.usd.edu/~xtwang/Papers/MontyHallPaper.pdf\">Krauss and Wang 2003:10</a>)</p><p>Note that the player may initially choose any of the three doors (not just Door 1), that the host opens a different door revealing a goat (not necessarily Door 3), and that he gives the player a second choice between the two remaining unopened doors.</p>",

All bonds for each atom must be used, so it is easiest to think of an alkane as linked carbon atoms forming the \"backbone\" structure, with adding hydrogen atoms linking the remaining unused bonds.</p><p>In a paraffin, one is allowed neither double bonds (two bonds between the same pair of atoms), nor cycles of linked carbons. So all paraffins with  n  carbon atoms share the empirical formula  <big>C<sub>n</sub>H<sub>2n+2</sub></big></p><p>But for all  n ‚â• 4  there are several distinct molecules (\"isomers\") with the same formula but different structures.</p><p>The number of isomers rises rather rapidly when  n  increases.</p><p>In counting isomers it should be borne in mind that the four bond positions on a given carbon atom can be freely interchanged and bonds rotated (including 3-D \"out of the paper\" rotations when it's being observed on a flat diagram), so rotations or re-orientations of parts of the molecule (without breaking bonds) do not give different isomers.

Then the character is inserted into the string at the appropriate places. The ASCII code for double-quote is 34, and for single-quote is 39.",
        "Newlines in the program may have to be reproduced as newlines in the string, which usually requires some kind of escape sequence (e.g. \"\\n\"). This causes the same problem as above, where the escaping character needs to itself be escaped, etc.",

        "* Write the entire program on one line, for free-form languages (as you can see for some of the solutions here, they run off the edge of the screen), thus removing the need for newlines. However, this may be unacceptable as some languages require a newline at the end of the file; and otherwise it is still generally good style to have a newline at the end of a file.

As explained graphically by the figures on the right, if PAX is greater than the angle BAX, then the ray starting from P intersects the segment AB.

Rendezvous is similar to a procedure call with the difference that the caller and the callee belong to different <a href=\"http://rosettacode.org/wiki/task\" title=\"task\">task</a>s. The called procedure is usually called an entry point of the corresponding task. A call to an entry point is synchronous, i.e. the caller is blocked until completion. For the caller a call to the entry point is indivisible. Internally it consists of:</p>Waiting for the callee ready to accept the rendezvous;",
        "Engaging the rendezvous (servicing the entry point).",
        "<p>The caller may limit the waiting time to the callee to accept the rendezvous. I.e. a rendezvous request can be aborted if not yet accepted by the callee. When accepted the rendezvous is processed until its completion. During this time the caller and the callee tasks stay synchronized. Which context is used to process the rendezvous depends on the implementation which may wish to minimize context switching.</p><p>The callee task may accept several rendezvous requests:</p>Rendezvous to the same entry point from different tasks;",
        "Rendezvous to different entry points.",
        "<p>The callee accepts one rendezvous at a time.</p><p>Language mechanism of <a href=\"http://rosettacode.org/wiki/exceptions\" title=\"exceptions\">exceptions</a> (if any) has to be consistent with the rendezvous. In particular when an exception is propagated out of a rendezvous it shall do in both tasks. The exception propagation is synchronous within the rendezvous and asynchronous outside it.</p><p>An engaged rendezvous can be requeued by the callee to another entry point of its task or to another task, transparently to the caller.</p><p>Differently to messages which are usually asynchronous, rendezvous are synchronous, as it was stated before. Therefore a rendezvous does not require marshaling the parameters and a buffer to keep them. Further, rendezvous can be implemented without context switch. This makes rendezvous a more efficient than messaging.</p><p>Rendezvous can be used to implement monitor synchronization objects. A monitor guards a shared resource. All users of the resource request a rendezvous to the monitor in order to get access to the resource. Access is granted by accepting the rendezvous for the time while the rendezvous is serviced.</p><p>===Language task===</p>",

        "<p>Implement a printer monitor. The monitor guards a printer. There are two printers main and reserve. Each has a monitor that accepts a rendezvous Print with a text line to print of the printer. The standard output may serve for printing purpose. Each character of the line is printed separately in order to illustrate that lines are printed indivisibly. Each printer has ink for only 5 lines of text. When the main printer runs out of ink it redirects its requests to the reserve printer. When that runs out of ink too, Out_Of_Ink exception propagates back to the caller. Create two writer tasks which print their plagiarisms on the printer. One does Humpty Dumpty, another Mother Goose.</p>"

Only use your programming language's standard library.</p><p>Details:</p><p>The Tcl Chatroom is a online chatroom. Its conversations are logged. It is useful to know if some has mentioned you or your project in the chatroom recently. You can find this out by searching the chat logs. The logs are publicly available at http://tclers.tk/conferences/tcl/. One log file corresponds to the messages from one day in <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time in Germany\" title=\"wp: Time in Germany\">Germany's current time zone</a>. Each chat log file has the name <tt>YYYY-MM-DD.tcl</tt> where <tt>YYYY</tt> is the year, <tt>MM</tt> is the month and <tt>DD</tt> the day. The logs store one message per line. The messages themselves are human-readable and their internal structure doesn't matter.</p><p>Retrieve the chat logs from the last 10 days via <a href=\"http://rosettacode.org/wiki/HTTP\" title=\"HTTP\">HTTP</a>. Find those lines that include a particular <a href=\"http://rosettacode.org/wiki/substring\" title=\"substring\">substring</a> and print them in the following format:</p><pre><log file URL>",

        "<matching line 2>",
        "...",
        "<matching line N>",
        "------</pre><p>The substring will be given to your program as a command line argument.</p><p>You need to account for the possible time zone difference between the client running your program and the chat log writer on the server to not miss any mentions. (For example, if you generated the log file URLs naively based on the local date, you could miss mentions if it was already April 5th for the logger but only April 4th for the client.) What this means in practice is that you should either generate the URLs in the time zone <tt>Europe/Berlin</tt> or, if your language can not do that, add an extra day (today + 1) to the range of dates you check, but then make sure to not print parts of a \"not found\" page by accident if a log file doesn't exist yet.</p><p>The code should be contained in a single-file script, with no \"project\" or \"dependency\" file (e.g., no <tt>requirements.txt</tt> for Python). It should only use a given programming language's standard library to accomplish this task and not rely on the user having installed any third-party packages.</p><p>If your language does not have an HTTP client in the standard library, you can speak raw HTTP 1.0 to the server. If it can't parse command line arguments in a standalone script, read the string to look for from the standard input.</p>"

        "<p>Given an <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA\" title=\"wp: RSA\">RSA</a> key (n,e,d), construct a program to encrypt and decrypt plaintext messages strings.</p><p>Background</p><p>RSA code is used to encode secret messages. It is named after Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman who published it at MIT in 1977. The advantage of this type of encryption is that you can distribute the number ‚Äú$n$‚Äù and ‚Äú$e$‚Äù (which makes up the Public Key used for encryption) to everyone. The Private Key used for decryption ‚Äú$d$‚Äù is kept secret, so that only the recipient can read the encrypted plaintext.</p><p>The process by which this is done is that a message, for example ‚ÄúHello World‚Äù is encoded as numbers (This could be encoding as ASCII or as a subset of characters $a=01,b=02,...,z=26$). This yields a string of numbers, generally referred to as \"numerical plaintext\", ‚Äú$P$‚Äù. For example, ‚ÄúHello World‚Äù encoded with a=1,...,z=26 by hundreds would yield $0805 1212 1523 1518 1204$.</p><p>The plaintext must also be split into blocks so that the numerical plaintext is smaller than $n$ otherwise the decryption will fail.</p><p>The ciphertext, $C$, is then computed by taking each block of $P$, and computing</p>",
        "<p> $C \\equiv  P^e \\mod n$</p>",
        "<p>Similarly, to decode, one computes</p>",
        "<p> $P \\equiv  C^d \\mod n$ </p><p>To generate a key, one finds 2 (ideally large) primes $p$ and $q$. the value ‚Äú$n$‚Äù is simply: $n = p \\times q$.</p>",
        "<p>One must then choose an ‚Äú$e$‚Äù such that $\\gcd(e, (p-1)\\times(q-1) ) = 1$. That is to say, $e$ and $(p-1)\\times(q-1)$ are relatively prime to each other.</p><p>The decryption value $d$ is then found by solving</p>",
        "<p> $d\\times e \\equiv  1 \\mod (p-1)\\times(q-1)$</p><p>The security of the code is based on the secrecy of the Private Key (decryption exponent) ‚Äú$d$‚Äù and the difficulty in factoring ‚Äú$n$‚Äù.

Note that the first five terms are the same as for the previous sequence.</p><p>0, 10, 1110, 3110, 132110, 13123110, 23124110 ... see <a href=\"http://rosettacode.org/wiki/oeis:A036058\" title=\"oeis:A036058\">The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences</a></p><p>Sort the digits largest to smallest. Do not include counts of digits that do not appear in the previous term.</p><p>Depending on the seed value, series generated this way always either converge to a stable value or to a short cyclical pattern. (For our purposes, I'll use converge to mean an element matches a previously seen element.) The sequence shown, with a seed value of 0, converges to a stable value of 1433223110 after 11 iterations.

Assume that the robot is not already at the top of the stairs, and neither does it ever reach the bottom of the stairs. How small can you make \"step_up\"?

The printing unit must count the number of lines it prints. After the concurrent unit reading the file sends its last line to the printing unit, the reading unit will request the number of lines printed by the printing unit. The reading unit will then print the number of lines printed by the printing unit.</p><p>This task requires two-way communication between the concurrent units. All concurrent units must cleanly terminate at the end of the program.</p>"
