Lucas Tower or Tower of Hanoi

Lucas Tower or Tower of Hanoi 


The Tower of Hanoi (also called the Tower of Brahma or Lucas' Tower,[1] and sometimes pluralised) is a mathematical game or puzzle. It consists of three rods, and a number of disks of different sizes which can slide onto any rod. The puzzle starts with the disks in a neat stack in ascending order of size on one rod, the smallest at the top, thus making a conical shape.
The objective of the puzzle is to move the entire stack to another rod, obeying the following simple rules:
  1. Only one disk can be moved at a time.
  2. Each move consists of taking the upper disk from one of the stacks and placing it on top of another stack i.e. a disk can only be moved if it is the uppermost disk on a stack.
  3. No disk may be placed on top of a smaller disk.
With three disks, the puzzle can be solved in seven moves. The minimum number of moves required to solve a Tower of Hanoi puzzle is 2n - 1, where n is the number of disks.

Multiply Negative numbers in java

For this challenge, you will be given an array and you are asked to count how many numbers are negative and multiply them and print the output to the STDOUT.  Input Format  -  you will be taking a number as an input from STDIN which tells about the length of the array. On another line, array elements should be there with single space between them.  Output Format  -  print the multiplication to the STDOUT.  Sample Test Case:   Sample Input: - 7 -8 -7 6 0 7 -1 6 Sample Output  -  -56  Explanation:   There are three negative numbers present in the array and their multiplication comes out to be -56.
