question:# Coding Assessment: Enhanced Path Splitter Function Objective Write a function to split a given file path or URL into its directory part and file name part. The function should handle different path delimiters used in various operating systems (both forward slashes `/` and backslashes ``). Input * A string representing the file path or URL. Output * A list containing two strings: 1. Directory part of the path. 2. File name part of the path. Constraints * The input path will be a non-empty string. * The path may contain any combination of forward slashes (`/`) and backslashes (``). * Assume the path follows standard conventions for directories and filenames. Requirements * Your solution should: * Efficiently handle paths with mixed delimiters. * Correctly manage edge cases, including paths ending with a delimiter and single filenames with no directory component. * Perform with a time complexity of O(n) and space complexity of O(n), where n is the length of the input string. # Examples: 1. For an input path: ``` "C:UsersDocumentsreport.txt" ``` Your function should output: ```python ["C:UsersDocuments", "report.txt"] ``` 2. For an input path: ``` "https://example.com/files/sample.pdf" ``` Your function should output: ```python ["https://example.com/files", "sample.pdf"] ``` 3. For an input path: ``` "filename" ``` Your function should output: ```python ["", "filename"] ``` Function Signature ```python def enhanced_split(path: str) -> list: pass ``` Implement the `enhanced_split` function to satisfy the above requirements.

answer:def enhanced_split(path: str) -> list: Splits the given path into directory part and file name part. Args: path (str): The file path or URL to split. Returns: list: A list containing the directory part and the file name part. if not path: return ["", ""] # Normalize the path by replacing backslashes with forward slashes normalized_path = path.replace('', '/') # Find the last slash last_slash_index = normalized_path.rfind('/') # Extract directory and filename if last_slash_index == -1: # No slashes found; the whole path is the filename directory = "" filename = path else: directory = path[:last_slash_index] filename = path[last_slash_index + 1:] return [directory, filename]

question:# Context You are tasked with creating and manipulating symbolic algebraic expressions in the form of polynomials. This involves working with individual monomials and polynomials, supporting operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and variable substitution. # Objective Implement two new operations for polynomials: 1. **Monomial Multiplication with Power**: Implement a method to multiply a monomial by itself for a given number of times (i.e., raising it to a power). Ensure it handles edge cases like zero power and negative powers appropriately. 2. **Simplify Polynomial**: Implement a method that combines like terms in a polynomial post any operation to enhance performance and correctness. This method should consolidate monomials having the same variables and powers into a single term. # Function Specifications 1. `Monomial.__pow__(self, power: int) -> Monomial`: - **Input**: - `power` (int): The exponent to which the monomial should be raised. - **Output**: - Returns a new `Monomial` instance representing the monomial raised to the given power. - **Constraints**: - The power should be an integer. - Handle edge cases like zero and negative powers appropriately. - **Example**: ```python Monomial({1: 2}, 3) ** 3 -> Monomial({1: 6}, 27) ``` 2. `Polynomial.simplify(self) -> Polynomial`: - **Input**: None. - **Output**: - Returns a new `Polynomial` instance that consolidates like terms (monomials with the same variables and powers) into a single term. - **Constraints**: - Only merge terms that are exactly like. - Handle polynomials with zero terms appropriately. - **Example**: ```python Polynomial([Monomial({1: 2}, 3), Monomial({1: 2}, 4)]) -> Polynomial([Monomial({1: 2}, 7)]) ``` # Your Task 1. Implement the `__pow__` method in the `Monomial` class. 2. Implement the `simplify` method in the `Polynomial` class. 3. Write appropriate unit tests to ensure the correctness including edge cases.

answer:class Monomial: def __init__(self, exponents, coefficient): self.exponents = exponents # dictionary representing variables and their exponents (e.g., {1: 2} for x1^2) self.coefficient = coefficient # coefficient of the monomial def __pow__(self, power): if power < 0: raise ValueError("Negative powers are not supported for monomials.") if power == 0: return Monomial({}, 1) # Any monomial to the power of 0 is 1 new_exponents = {var: exp * power for var, exp in self.exponents.items()} new_coefficient = self.coefficient ** power return Monomial(new_exponents, new_coefficient) def __repr__(self): return f'Monomial({self.exponents}, {self.coefficient})' class Polynomial: def __init__(self, monomials): self.monomials = monomials # list of Monomial instances def simplify(self): simplified_terms = {} for monomial in self.monomials: exp_tuple = tuple(sorted(monomial.exponents.items())) if exp_tuple in simplified_terms: simplified_terms[exp_tuple].coefficient += monomial.coefficient else: simplified_terms[exp_tuple] = Monomial(dict(monomial.exponents), monomial.coefficient) # Remove monomials with a coefficient of zero self.monomials = [monomial for monomial in simplified_terms.values() if monomial.coefficient != 0] return self def __repr__(self): return f'Polynomial({self.monomials})'

question:Enhanced Path-Finding Objective Given an undirected, unweighted graph represented as an adjacency list, implement a function that finds all the unique shortest paths between a pair of nodes. Function Signature ```python def find_all_shortest_paths(graph: dict, start: str, end: str) -> list: Finds all unique shortest paths between start and end nodes in an undirected graph. Args: graph (dict): A dictionary representing the adjacency list of the graph. start (str): The starting node. end (str): The ending node. Returns: list: A list of lists, each containing a unique shortest path from start to end. Example: graph = { 'A': ['B', 'C'], 'B': ['A', 'D', 'E'], 'C': ['A', 'F', 'G'], 'D': ['B'], 'E': ['B', 'H'], 'F': ['C'], 'G': ['C'], 'H': ['E'] } find_all_shortest_paths(graph, 'A', 'H') should return [['A', 'B', 'E', 'H']] pass ``` Constraints 1. The graph is undirected and unweighted. 2. If no path exists, return an empty list. 3. The input graph may contain cycles. 4. Node names are unique and represented as strings. 5. The solution should efficiently handle graphs with up to 100 nodes. Performance Requirements The algorithm should be optimized to avoid redundant recursive calls and infinite loops in cyclical graphs. Utilize appropriate data structures to ensure that the solution is optimized for both time and space. Additional Context This problem simulates a real-world application of routing in networks, where multiple shortest paths may need to be considered to ensure redundancy and reliability.

question:Josephus Sequence Generator **Scenario**: In a historical simulation, soldiers are seated in a circle. Every k-th soldier is eliminated in a sequence until only one soldier remains. This problem models that elimination process. **Task**: Implement a function to generate and return the sequence of eliminated soldiers. **Function Signature**: ```python def josephus_sequence(n: int, k: int) -> List[int]: pass ``` # Input * `n (int)`: The number of soldiers (n > 0) * `k (int)`: Specifies that every k-th person is eliminated (k > 0) # Output * `List[int]`: A list representing the order of eliminations until all soldiers are removed. # Example ```python assert josephus_sequence(7, 3) == [3, 6, 2, 7, 5, 1, 4] ``` # Constraints & Performance Requirements * Handle up to 10,000 soldiers efficiently. * Avoid using excessive extra memory. # Notes 1. Ensure your solution works for small and large values of `n`. 2. Consider modular arithmetic for circular iterations.

answer:from typing import List def josephus_sequence(n: int, k: int) -> List[int]: Generates and returns the sequence of eliminated soldiers in the Josephus problem. :param n: Number of soldiers :param k: Every k-th soldier will be eliminated :return: List of soldiers in the order they are eliminated soldiers = list(range(1, n + 1)) elimination_sequence = [] index = 0 while soldiers: index = (index + k - 1) % len(soldiers) elimination_sequence.append(soldiers.pop(index)) return elimination_sequence
