Python Program about a soccer tournaments
Purpose: We are going to create a Python program
 that simulates a soccer tournament.
Complete the assignment below: 


Let's create a Python program that simulates a soccer tournament with real professional teams. We'll use a simple elimination format for a 10-team tournament. This will involve generating random scores for matches and advancing the winner until a champion is declared.

Here's a more detailed explanation of the program structure:

List of Teams: We'll include 10 real professional soccer teams.
Tournament Setup: The teams will be randomly matched in the first round. Since we have 10 teams, 8 teams will compete in the first round, and 2 will receive a bye to the second round.
Match Simulation: Each match will have random scores generated for the two teams.
Advancement: Winners will advance to the next round. This will continue until the championship match.
Championship: The last two teams will compete for the title.
Result Output: The program will display the results of each match and ultimately the champion.
Here's the Python code to simulate this tournament:


You will need to create the following 3 files:

import random

def simulate_match(team1, team2):
    score1 = random.randint(0, 5)
    score2 = random.randint(0, 5)
    result = f"{team1} {score1} - {score2} {team2}"
if score1 > score2:
   winner = team1
elif score2 > score1:
        winner = team2
    else:  # In case of a draw, we simulate extra time
        winner = team1 if random.random() > 0.5 else team2
        result += f" (Extra time win by {winner})"
    return winner, result

def simulate_tournament(teams):
    results = []
    while len(teams) > 1:
    next_round = []
        random.shuffle(teams)  # Shuffle teams for pairing
        if len(teams) % 2 == 1:
            next_round.append(teams.pop())  # Give bye to one team if odd number of teams

        while teams:
            team1 = teams.pop()
            team2 = teams.pop()
            winner, result = simulate_match(team1, team2)
            next_round.append(winner)
            results.append(result)
        
        teams = next_round
    
    return results, teams[0]  # Return all match results and the champion

# List of teams
teams = [
    "Manchester United", "Liverpool", "Barcelona",
    "Real Madrid", "Bayern Munich", "Paris Saint-Germain",
    "Juventus", "Chelsea", "Manchester City", "AC Milan"
]

results, champion = simulate_tournament(teams.copy())

print("\nTournament Results:")
for result in results:
    print(result)
print("\nChampion:", champion)


How It Works:
simulate_match: Simulates a match between two teams and determines a winner. In case of a draw, a random "extra time" winner is chosen.
simulate_tournament: Conducts all the rounds of the tournament until a champion is determined.
Team list: You can modify this list to include any set of professional teams you like.
This program gives a complete, albeit simple, soccer tournament simulation. You can extend it by incorporating specific game rules, a group stage, or player-specific stats.

Here's a Java program for a two-player Tic-Tac-Toe game.
 The game is played on a 3x3 grid
 using the console for input and output.
 Players will take turns marking the spaces
 in the grid with their respective symbols (X or O).
 The game checks for a win or draw after each move.

You will need to create the following 3 files:

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        TicTacToe game = new TicTacToe();
        game.play();
    }
}

Explanation:
Initialization: The game initializes a 3x3 board with
empty spaces and sets the current player to X.

Game Play:

The board is printed and players are prompted to
 enter the row and column numbers where they
 want to place their mark.
 The input must be within
 the correct range, and the chosen cell must be empty.

After each move, the game checks if the current player
 has won or if the board is full.

Winning and Draw: If a player wins or all cells are filled
 without a win, the game ends by 
displaying the final board and announcing the result.
