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 help 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

Following are the algorithm to this question:

Find_Heavier_Coins(Coin[9]):

   i) Let Coin[] Array represent all Coins.  

   ii) Divide coin[] into 3 parallel bundles and each has three coins, example 0-2, 3-5, 6-8 indicate a1 a2 a3

   iii) Randomly select any two bundles and place them in balance [say a1 and a2]

   iv) If Weigh of a1 and a2 has same:

           // checking that if a3 has heavier coin

           Choose any two 6-8 coins and place them onto balance [say 6 and 8]

           If those who weigh has the same weight:

               Third coin is coin heavier [say 7]

           else:  

               The coin [6 or 8] is the one which is heavier on the balance

       else:

           //The coin has the package which would be heavier on the balance [say a1]

           Select any two coins on balance from of the heavier package [say 0 and 1]

   If they weigh the same weight:

       Third coin is coin heavier [say 2]

   else:

       The coin that is heavier on the balance is the [or 0]

Explanation:

In the above-given algorithm code, a method Find_Heavier_Coins is declared which passes a coin[] array variable in its parameters. In the next step, if conditional block is used that checks the values which can be described as follows:

professionals can use many types of technology that can them. some examples are, computers (they research and can use for programs for data, they are also used for job applications, school work, and even to make new ideas), speedometers (can get data for unknown data), sometimes something as small as a pen (used for rough drafts, to insert data, and again job applications).
