This software uses "A" to denote "bulls" (digit in the correct position) and "B" to denote "cows" (digit in the wrong position). Bulls and cows (also known as cows and bulls or pigs and bulls) is a code-breaking mind or paper and pencil game for two or more players. The game is played in turns by two opponents who aim to decipher the other's ...
Start with initial guess 1122. (Knuth gives examples showing that this algorithm using first guesses other than "two pair"; such as 1111, 1112, 1123, or 1234; does not win in five tries on every code.) Play the guess to get a response of colored and white key pegs. If the response is four colored key pegs, the game is won, the algorithm terminates.

9 Algorithms that Changed the Future is a 2012 book by John MacCormick on algorithms. The book seeks to explain commonly encountered computer algorithms to a layman audience. The book seeks to explain commonly encountered computer algorithms to a layman audience.
The problem, as translated into English by Ivor Thomas, states: [9] If thou art diligent and wise, O stranger, compute the number of cattle of the Sun, who once upon a time grazed on the fields of the Thrinacian isle of Sicily, divided into four herds of different colours, one milk white, another a glossy black, a third yellow and the last dappled.
A goat/bull/horse is tethered at point on the circumference. How long does the rope r {\displaystyle r} need to be to allow the animal to graze on exactly one half of the circle's area (white area in diagram, in plane geometry, called a lens )?
Note G, originally published in Sketch of The Analytical Engine Invented by Charles Babbage. Note G [a] is a computer algorithm written by Ada Lovelace that was designed to calculate Bernoulli numbers using the hypothetical analytical engine.
Borwein's algorithm was devised by Jonathan and Peter Borwein to calculate the value of /. This and other algorithms can be found in the book Pi and the AGM – A Study in Analytic Number Theory and Computational Complexity .
