The log2 of a given number N is given by M in the equation N 5 2M. Using integer arithmetic, the value of M is approximately equal to the number of times N can be evenly divided by 2 until it becomes 0. Write a loop that computes this approxima- tion of the log2 of a given number N. You can check your code by importing the math. log function and evaluating the expression round(math. log(N, 2)) (note that the math. log function returns a floating-point value).

Write a program that begins by reading in a series of positive integers on a single line of input and then computes and prints the product of those integers. integers are accepted and multiplied until the user enters an integer less than 1. this final number is not part of the product. then, the program prints the product. if the first entered number is negative or 0, the program must print “bad input.” and terminate immediately. next, the program determines and prints the prime factorization of the product, listing the factors in increasing order. if a prime number is not a factor of the product, then it must not appear in the factorization. sample runs are given below. note that if the power of a prime is 1, then that 1 must appear in t

Some of your friends have gotten into the burgeoning field of time-series data mining, in which one looks for patterns in sequences of events that occur over time. purchases at stock exchanges--what’s being bought-- are one source of data with a natural ordering in time. given a long sequence s of such events, your friends want an efficient way to detect certain "patterns" in them--for example, they may want to know if the four events buy yahoo, buy ebay, buy yahoo, buy oracle occur in this sequence s, in order but not necessarily consecutively. they begin with a collection of possible events (e.g., the possible’ transactions) and a sequence s of n of these events. a given event may occur multiple times in s (e.g., yahoo stock may be bought many times in a single sequence s). we will say that a sequence s’ is a subsequence of s if there is a way to delete certain of the events from s so that the remaining events, in order, are equal to the sequence s’. so, for example, the sequence of four events above is a subsequence of the sequence buy amazon, buy yahoo, buy ebay, buy yahoo, buy yahoo, buy oracle their goal is to be able to dream up short sequences and quickly detect whether they are subsequences of s. so this is the problem they pose to you: give an algorithm that takes two sequences of even~s--s’ of length m and s of length n, each possibly containing an event more than once--and decides in time o(m n) whether s’ is a subsequence of s
