Ethiopian multiplication
Ethiopian multiplication is a method of multiplying integers using only addition, doubling, and halving. Method: Take two numbers to be multiplied and write them down at the top of two columns. In the left-hand column repeatedly halve the last number, discarding any remainders, and write the result below the last in the same column, until you write a value of 1. In the right-hand column repeatedly double the last number and write the result below. stop when you add a result in the same row as where the left hand column shows 1. Examine the table produced and discard any row where the value in the left column is even. Sum the values in the right-hand column that remain to produce the result of multiplying the original two numbers together For example:   17 × 34 17 34 Halving the first column: 17 34 8 4 2 1 Doubling the second column: 17 34 8 68 4 136 2 272 1 544 Strike-out rows whose first cell is even: 17 34 8 68 4 136 2 272 1 544 Sum the remaining numbers in the right-hand column: 17 34 8 -- 4 --- 2 --- 1 544 ==== 578 So 17 multiplied by 34, by the Ethiopian method is 578. Task The task is to define three named functions/methods/procedures/subroutines: one to halve an integer, one to double an integer, and one to state if an integer is even. Use these functions to create a function that does Ethiopian multiplication.

Euler's sum of powers conjecture
There is a conjecture in mathematics that held for over two hundred years before it was disproved by the finding of a counterexample in 1966 by Lander and Parkin. Euler's (disproved) sum of powers   conjecture At least k positive kth powers are required to sum to a kth power, except for the trivial case of one kth power: yk = yk In 1966,   Leon J. Lander   and   Thomas R. Parkin   used a brute-force search on a   CDC 6600   computer restricting numbers to those less than 250. Task Write a program to search for an integer solution for: x05 + x15 + x25 + x35 == y5 Where all   xi's   and   y   are distinct integers between   0   and   250   (exclusive). Show an answer here.

Entropy
Task Calculate the Shannon entropy   H   of a given input string. Given the discrete random variable X {\displaystyle X} that is a string of N {\displaystyle N} "symbols" (total characters) consisting of n {\displaystyle n} different characters (n=2 for binary), the Shannon entropy of X in bits/symbol is : H 2 ( X ) = − ∑ i = 1 n c o u n t i N log 2 ⁡ ( c o u n t i N ) {\displaystyle H_{2}(X)=-\sum _{i=1}^{n}{\frac {count_{i}}{N}}\log _{2}\left({\frac {count_{i}}{N}}\right)} where c o u n t i {\displaystyle count_{i}} is the count of character n i {\displaystyle n_{i}} . For this task, use X="1223334444" as an example. The result should be 1.84644... bits/symbol. This assumes X was a random variable, which may not be the case, or it may depend on the observer. This coding problem calculates the "specific" or "intensive" entropy that finds its parallel in physics with "specific entropy" S0 which is entropy per kg or per mole, not like physical entropy S and therefore not the "information" content of a file. It comes from Boltzmann's H-theorem where S = k B N H {\displaystyle S=k_{B}NH} where N=number of molecules. Boltzmann's H is the same equation as Shannon's H, and it gives the specific entropy H on a "per molecule" basis. The "total", "absolute", or "extensive" information entropy is S = H 2 N {\displaystyle S=H_{2}N} bits This is not the entropy being coded here, but it is the closest to physical entropy and a measure of the information content of a string. But it does not look for any patterns that might be available for compression, so it is a very restricted, basic, and certain measure of "information". Every binary file with an equal number of 1's and 0's will have S=N bits. All hex files with equal symbol frequencies will have S = N log 2 ⁡ ( 16 ) {\displaystyle S=N\log _{2}(16)} bits of entropy. The total entropy in bits of the example above is S= 10*18.4644 = 18.4644 bits. The H function does not look for any patterns in data or check if X was a random variable. For example, X=000000111111 gives the same calculated entropy in all senses as Y=010011100101. For most purposes it is usually more relevant to divide the gzip length by the length of the original data to get an informal measure of how much "order" was in the data. Two other "entropies" are useful: Normalized specific entropy: H n = H 2 ∗ log ⁡ ( 2 ) log ⁡ ( n ) {\displaystyle H_{n}={\frac {H_{2}*\log(2)}{\log(n)}}} which varies from 0 to 1 and it has units of "entropy/symbol" or just 1/symbol. For this example, Hn<\sub>= 0.923. Normalized total (extensive) entropy: S n = H 2 N ∗ log ⁡ ( 2 ) log ⁡ ( n ) {\displaystyle S_{n}={\frac {H_{2}N*\log(2)}{\log(n)}}} which varies from 0 to N and does not have units. It is simply the "entropy", but it needs to be called "total normalized extensive entropy" so that it is not confused with Shannon's (specific) entropy or physical entropy. For this example, Sn<\sub>= 9.23. Shannon himself is the reason his "entropy/symbol" H function is very confusingly called "entropy". That's like calling a function that returns a speed a "meter". See section 1.7 of his classic A Mathematical Theory of Communication and search on "per symbol" and "units" to see he always stated his entropy H has units of "bits/symbol" or "entropy/symbol" or "information/symbol". So it is legitimate to say entropy NH is "information". In keeping with Landauer's limit, the physics entropy generated from erasing N bits is S = H 2 N k B ln ⁡ ( 2 ) {\displaystyle S=H_{2}Nk_{B}\ln(2)} if the bit storage device is perfectly efficient. This can be solved for H2*N to (arguably) get the number of bits of information that a physical entropy represents. Related tasks Fibonacci_word Entropy/Narcissist

Entropy
Task Calculate the Shannon entropy   H   of a given input string. Given the discrete random variable X {\displaystyle X} that is a string of N {\displaystyle N} "symbols" (total characters) consisting of n {\displaystyle n} different characters (n=2 for binary), the Shannon entropy of X in bits/symbol is : H 2 ( X ) = − ∑ i = 1 n c o u n t i N log 2 ⁡ ( c o u n t i N ) {\displaystyle H_{2}(X)=-\sum _{i=1}^{n}{\frac {count_{i}}{N}}\log _{2}\left({\frac {count_{i}}{N}}\right)} where c o u n t i {\displaystyle count_{i}} is the count of character n i {\displaystyle n_{i}} . For this task, use X="1223334444" as an example. The result should be 1.84644... bits/symbol. This assumes X was a random variable, which may not be the case, or it may depend on the observer. This coding problem calculates the "specific" or "intensive" entropy that finds its parallel in physics with "specific entropy" S0 which is entropy per kg or per mole, not like physical entropy S and therefore not the "information" content of a file. It comes from Boltzmann's H-theorem where S = k B N H {\displaystyle S=k_{B}NH} where N=number of molecules. Boltzmann's H is the same equation as Shannon's H, and it gives the specific entropy H on a "per molecule" basis. The "total", "absolute", or "extensive" information entropy is S = H 2 N {\displaystyle S=H_{2}N} bits This is not the entropy being coded here, but it is the closest to physical entropy and a measure of the information content of a string. But it does not look for any patterns that might be available for compression, so it is a very restricted, basic, and certain measure of "information". Every binary file with an equal number of 1's and 0's will have S=N bits. All hex files with equal symbol frequencies will have S = N log 2 ⁡ ( 16 ) {\displaystyle S=N\log _{2}(16)} bits of entropy. The total entropy in bits of the example above is S= 10*18.4644 = 18.4644 bits. The H function does not look for any patterns in data or check if X was a random variable. For example, X=000000111111 gives the same calculated entropy in all senses as Y=010011100101. For most purposes it is usually more relevant to divide the gzip length by the length of the original data to get an informal measure of how much "order" was in the data. Two other "entropies" are useful: Normalized specific entropy: H n = H 2 ∗ log ⁡ ( 2 ) log ⁡ ( n ) {\displaystyle H_{n}={\frac {H_{2}*\log(2)}{\log(n)}}} which varies from 0 to 1 and it has units of "entropy/symbol" or just 1/symbol. For this example, Hn<\sub>= 0.923. Normalized total (extensive) entropy: S n = H 2 N ∗ log ⁡ ( 2 ) log ⁡ ( n ) {\displaystyle S_{n}={\frac {H_{2}N*\log(2)}{\log(n)}}} which varies from 0 to N and does not have units. It is simply the "entropy", but it needs to be called "total normalized extensive entropy" so that it is not confused with Shannon's (specific) entropy or physical entropy. For this example, Sn<\sub>= 9.23. Shannon himself is the reason his "entropy/symbol" H function is very confusingly called "entropy". That's like calling a function that returns a speed a "meter". See section 1.7 of his classic A Mathematical Theory of Communication and search on "per symbol" and "units" to see he always stated his entropy H has units of "bits/symbol" or "entropy/symbol" or "information/symbol". So it is legitimate to say entropy NH is "information". In keeping with Landauer's limit, the physics entropy generated from erasing N bits is S = H 2 N k B ln ⁡ ( 2 ) {\displaystyle S=H_{2}Nk_{B}\ln(2)} if the bit storage device is perfectly efficient. This can be solved for H2*N to (arguably) get the number of bits of information that a physical entropy represents. Related tasks Fibonacci_word Entropy/Narcissist

http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Ethiopian_multiplication
Ethiopian multiplication
Ethiopian multiplication is a method of multiplying integers using only addition, doubling, and halving. Method: Take two numbers to be multiplied and write them down at the top of two columns. In the left-hand column repeatedly halve the last number, discarding any remainders, and write the result below the last in the same column, until you write a value of 1. In the right-hand column repeatedly double the last number and write the result below. stop when you add a result in the same row as where the left hand column shows 1. Examine the table produced and discard any row where the value in the left column is even. Sum the values in the right-hand column that remain to produce the result of multiplying the original two numbers together For example:   17 × 34 17 34 Halving the first column: 17 34 8 4 2 1 Doubling the second column: 17 34 8 68 4 136 2 272 1 544 Strike-out rows whose first cell is even: 17 34 8 68 4 136 2 272 1 544 Sum the remaining numbers in the right-hand column: 17 34 8 -- 4 --- 2 --- 1 544 ==== 578 So 17 multiplied by 34, by the Ethiopian method is 578. Task The task is to define three named functions/methods/procedures/subroutines: one to halve an integer, one to double an integer, and one to state if an integer is even. Use these functions to create a function that does Ethiopian multiplication.

Euler's sum of powers conjecture
There is a conjecture in mathematics that held for over two hundred years before it was disproved by the finding of a counterexample in 1966 by Lander and Parkin. Euler's (disproved) sum of powers   conjecture At least k positive kth powers are required to sum to a kth power, except for the trivial case of one kth power: yk = yk In 1966,   Leon J. Lander   and   Thomas R. Parkin   used a brute-force search on a   CDC 6600   computer restricting numbers to those less than 250. Task Write a program to search for an integer solution for: x05 + x15 + x25 + x35 == y5 Where all   xi's   and   y   are distinct integers between   0   and   250   (exclusive). Show an answer here.

Boltzmann's H is the same equation as Shannon's H, and it gives the specific entropy H on a "per molecule" basis. The "total", "absolute", or "extensive" information entropy is S = H 2 N {\displaystyle S=H_{2}N} bits This is not the entropy being coded here, but it is the closest to physical entropy and a measure of the information content of a string.

The total entropy in bits of the example above is S= 10*18.4644 = 18.4644 bits. The H function does not look for any patterns in data or check if X was a random variable. For example, X=000000111111 gives the same calculated entropy in all senses as Y=010011100101.

For this task, use X="1223334444" as an example. The result should be 1.84644... bits/symbol. This assumes X was a random variable, which may not be the case, or it may depend on the observer.

Ethiopian multiplication
Ethiopian multiplication is a method of multiplying integers using only addition, doubling, and halving. Method: Take two numbers to be multiplied and write them down at the top of two columns. In the left-hand column repeatedly halve the last number, discarding any remainders, and write the result below the last in the same column, until you write a value of 1. In the right-hand column repeatedly double the last number and write the result below. stop when you add a result in the same row as where the left hand column shows 1. Examine the table produced and discard any row where the value in the left column is even. Sum the values in the right-hand column that remain to produce the result of multiplying the original two numbers together For example:   17 × 34 17 34 Halving the first column: 17 34 8 4 2 1 Doubling the second column: 17 34 8 68 4 136 2 272 1 544 Strike-out rows whose first cell is even: 17 34 8 68 4 136 2 272 1 544 Sum the remaining numbers in the right-hand column: 17 34 8 -- 4 --- 2 --- 1 544 ==== 578 So 17 multiplied by 34, by the Ethiopian method is 578. Task The task is to define three named functions/methods/procedures/subroutines: one to halve an integer, one to double an integer, and one to state if an integer is even. Use these functions to create a function that does Ethiopian multiplication.

Euler's sum of powers conjecture
There is a conjecture in mathematics that held for over two hundred years before it was disproved by the finding of a counterexample in 1966 by Lander and Parkin. Euler's (disproved) sum of powers   conjecture At least k positive kth powers are required to sum to a kth power, except for the trivial case of one kth power: yk = yk In 1966,   Leon J. Lander   and   Thomas R. Parkin   used a brute-force search on a   CDC 6600   computer restricting numbers to those less than 250. Task Write a program to search for an integer solution for: x05 + x15 + x25 + x35 == y5 Where all   xi's   and   y   are distinct integers between   0   and   250   (exclusive). Show an answer here.

Two other "entropies" are useful: Normalized specific entropy: H n = H 2 ∗ log ⁡ ( 2 ) log ⁡ ( n ) {\displaystyle H_{n}={\frac {H_{2}*\log(2)}{\log(n)}}} which varies from 0 to 1 and it has units of "entropy/symbol" or just 1/symbol. For this example, Hn<\sub>= 0.923. Normalized total (extensive) entropy: S n = H 2 N ∗ log ⁡ ( 2 ) log ⁡ ( n ) {\displaystyle S_{n}={\frac {H_{2}N*\log(2)}{\log(n)}}} which varies from 0 to N and does not have units. It is simply the "entropy", but it needs to be called "total normalized extensive entropy" so that it is not confused with Shannon's (specific) entropy or physical entropy. For this example, Sn<\sub>= 9.23. Shannon himself is the reason his "entropy/symbol" H function is very confusingly called "entropy". That's like calling a function that returns a speed a "meter". See section 1.7 of his classic A Mathematical Theory of Communication and search on "per symbol" and "units" to see he always stated his entropy H has units of "bits/symbol" or "entropy/symbol" or "information/symbol". So it is legitimate to say entropy NH is "information". In keeping with Landauer's limit, the physics entropy generated from erasing N bits is S = H 2 N k B ln ⁡ ( 2 ) {\displaystyle S=H_{2}Nk_{B}\ln(2)} if the bit storage device is perfectly efficient. This can be solved for H2*N to (arguably) get the number of bits of information that a physical entropy represents. Related tasks Fibonacci_word Entropy/Narcissist

Ethiopian multiplication
Ethiopian multiplication is a method of multiplying integers using only addition, doubling, and halving. Method: Take two numbers to be multiplied and write them down at the top of two columns. In the left-hand column repeatedly halve the last number, discarding any remainders, and write the result below the last in the same column, until you write a value of 1. In the right-hand column repeatedly double the last number and write the result below. stop when you add a result in the same row as where the left hand column shows 1. Examine the table produced and discard any row where the value in the left column is even. Sum the values in the right-hand column that remain to produce the result of multiplying the original two numbers together For example:   17 × 34 17 34 Halving the first column: 17 34 8 4 2 1 Doubling the second column: 17 34 8 68 4 136 2 272 1 544 Strike-out rows whose first cell is even: 17 34 8 68 4 136 2 272 1 544 Sum the remaining numbers in the right-hand column: 17 34 8 -- 4 --- 2 --- 1 544 ==== 578 So 17 multiplied by 34, by the Ethiopian method is 578. Task The task is to define three named functions/methods/procedures/subroutines: one to halve an integer, one to double an integer, and one to state if an integer is even. Use these functions to create a function that does Ethiopian multiplication.

Euler's sum of powers conjecture
There is a conjecture in mathematics that held for over two hundred years before it was disproved by the finding of a counterexample in 1966 by Lander and Parkin. Euler's (disproved) sum of powers   conjecture At least k positive kth powers are required to sum to a kth power, except for the trivial case of one kth power: yk = yk In 1966,   Leon J. Lander   and   Thomas R. Parkin   used a brute-force search on a   CDC 6600   computer restricting numbers to those less than 250. Task Write a program to search for an integer solution for: x05 + x15 + x25 + x35 == y5 Where all   xi's   and   y   are distinct integers between   0   and   250   (exclusive). Show an answer here.

Entropy
Task Calculate the Shannon entropy   H   of a given input string. Given the discrete random variable X {\displaystyle X} that is a string of N {\displaystyle N} "symbols" (total characters) consisting of n {\displaystyle n} different characters (n=2 for binary), the Shannon entropy of X in bits/symbol is : H 2 ( X ) = − ∑ i = 1 n c o u n t i N log 2 ⁡ ( c o u n t i N ) {\displaystyle H_{2}(X)=-\sum _{i=1}^{n}{\frac {count_{i}}{N}}\log _{2}\left({\frac {count_{i}}{N}}\right)} where c o u n t i {\displaystyle count_{i}} is the count of character n i {\displaystyle n_{i}} . For this task, use X="1223334444" as an example. The result should be 1.84644... bits/symbol. This assumes X was a random variable, which may not be the case, or it may depend on the observer. This coding problem calculates the "specific" or "intensive" entropy that finds its parallel in physics with "specific entropy" S0 which is entropy per kg or per mole, not like physical entropy S and therefore not the "information" content of a file. It comes from Boltzmann's H-theorem where S = k B N H {\displaystyle S=k_{B}NH} where N=number of molecules. Boltzmann's H is the same equation as Shannon's H, and it gives the specific entropy H on a "per molecule" basis. The "total", "absolute", or "extensive" information entropy is S = H 2 N {\displaystyle S=H_{2}N} bits This is not the entropy being coded here, but it is the closest to physical entropy and a measure of the information content of a string. But it does not look for any patterns that might be available for compression, so it is a very restricted, basic, and certain measure of "information". Every binary file with an equal number of 1's and 0's will have S=N bits. All hex files with equal symbol frequencies will have S = N log 2 ⁡ ( 16 ) {\displaystyle S=N\log _{2}(16)} bits of entropy. The total entropy in bits of the example above is S= 10*18.4644 = 18.4644 bits. The H function does not look for any patterns in data or check if X was a random variable. For example, X=000000111111 gives the same calculated entropy in all senses as Y=010011100101. For most purposes it is usually more relevant to divide the gzip length by the length of the original data to get an informal measure of how much "order" was in the data. Two other "entropies" are useful: Normalized specific entropy: H n = H 2 ∗ log ⁡ ( 2 ) log ⁡ ( n ) {\displaystyle H_{n}={\frac {H_{2}*\log(2)}{\log(n)}}} which varies from 0 to 1 and it has units of "entropy/symbol" or just 1/symbol. For this example, Hn<\sub>= 0.923. Normalized total (extensive) entropy: S n = H 2 N ∗ log ⁡ ( 2 ) log ⁡ ( n ) {\displaystyle S_{n}={\frac {H_{2}N*\log(2)}{\log(n)}}} which varies from 0 to N and does not have units. It is simply the "entropy", but it needs to be called "total normalized extensive entropy" so that it is not confused with Shannon's (specific) entropy or physical entropy. For this example, Sn<\sub>= 9.23. Shannon himself is the reason his "entropy/symbol" H function is very confusingly called "entropy". That's like calling a function that returns a speed a "meter". See section 1.7 of his classic A Mathematical Theory of Communication and search on "per symbol" and "units" to see he always stated his entropy H has units of "bits/symbol" or "entropy/symbol" or "information/symbol". So it is legitimate to say entropy NH is "information". In keeping with Landauer's limit, the physics entropy generated from erasing N bits is S = H 2 N k B ln ⁡ ( 2 ) {\displaystyle S=H_{2}Nk_{B}\ln(2)} if the bit storage device is perfectly efficient. This can be solved for H2*N to (arguably) get the number of bits of information that a physical entropy represents. Related tasks Fibonacci_word Entropy/Narcissist

Even or odd
Task Test whether an integer is even or odd. There is more than one way to solve this task: Use the even and odd predicates, if the language provides them. Check the least significant digit. With binary integers, i bitwise-and 1 equals 0 iff i is even, or equals 1 iff i is odd. Divide i by 2. The remainder equals 0 iff i is even. The remainder equals +1 or -1 iff i is odd. Use modular congruences: i ≡ 0 (mod 2) iff i is even. i ≡ 1 (mod 2) iff i is odd.

Ethiopian multiplication
Ethiopian multiplication is a method of multiplying integers using only addition, doubling, and halving. Method: Take two numbers to be multiplied and write them down at the top of two columns. In the left-hand column repeatedly halve the last number, discarding any remainders, and write the result below the last in the same column, until you write a value of 1. In the right-hand column repeatedly double the last number and write the result below. stop when you add a result in the same row as where the left hand column shows 1. Examine the table produced and discard any row where the value in the left column is even. Sum the values in the right-hand column that remain to produce the result of multiplying the original two numbers together For example:   17 × 34 17 34 Halving the first column: 17 34 8 4 2 1 Doubling the second column: 17 34 8 68 4 136 2 272 1 544 Strike-out rows whose first cell is even: 17 34 8 68 4 136 2 272 1 544 Sum the remaining numbers in the right-hand column: 17 34 8 -- 4 --- 2 --- 1 544 ==== 578 So 17 multiplied by 34, by the Ethiopian method is 578. Task The task is to define three named functions/methods/procedures/subroutines: one to halve an integer, one to double an integer, and one to state if an integer is even. Use these functions to create a function that does Ethiopian multiplication.

With binary integers, i bitwise-and 1 equals 0 iff i is even, or equals 1 iff i is odd. Divide i by 2. The remainder equals 0 iff i is even. The remainder equals +1 or -1 iff i is odd. Use modular congruences: i ≡ 0 (mod 2) iff i is even. i ≡ 1 (mod 2) iff i is odd.

Ethiopian multiplication
Ethiopian multiplication is a method of multiplying integers using only addition, doubling, and halving. Method: Take two numbers to be multiplied and write them down at the top of two columns. In the left-hand column repeatedly halve the last number, discarding any remainders, and write the result below the last in the same column, until you write a value of 1. In the right-hand column repeatedly double the last number and write the result below. stop when you add a result in the same row as where the left hand column shows 1. Examine the table produced and discard any row where the value in the left column is even. Sum the values in the right-hand column that remain to produce the result of multiplying the original two numbers together For example:   17 × 34 17 34 Halving the first column: 17 34 8 4 2 1 Doubling the second column: 17 34 8 68 4 136 2 272 1 544 Strike-out rows whose first cell is even: 17 34 8 68 4 136 2 272 1 544 Sum the remaining numbers in the right-hand column: 17 34 8 -- 4 --- 2 --- 1 544 ==== 578 So 17 multiplied by 34, by the Ethiopian method is 578. Task The task is to define three named functions/methods/procedures/subroutines: one to halve an integer, one to double an integer, and one to state if an integer is even. Use these functions to create a function that does Ethiopian multiplication.
