Tower of Hanoi is a mathematical puzzle where we have three rods and n disks. 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.
Approach :
Take an example for 2 disks :
Let rod 1 = 'A', rod 2 = 'B', rod 3 = 'C'.
Step 1 : Shift first disk from 'A' to 'B'.
Step 2 : Shift second disk from 'A' to 'C'.
Step 3 : Shift first disk from 'B' to 'C'.
The pattern here is :
Shift 'n-1' disks from 'A' to 'B'.
Shift last disk from 'A' to 'C'.
Shift 'n-1' disks from 'B' to 'C'.

15. Definition of a Cover Letter
A cover letter will usually accompany
your resume when you submit an
application for a position. A cover letter
is a short writtern statement that
describes the key skills nad experiences
you possess that make you a candidate
worthy of further consideration. It is also
an example of your writing abilities, so
proper grammar, formatting and
proofreading are critical. A brief,
confident, well written cover letter can
make a strong impression on a hiring
manager and open the door for an
interview.
16. Cover Letter Basics
A cover letter is professional correspondence. It
should be brief (no more than one page) tightly
worded, and should not contain exclamation
points, smiley faces, etc. It should be written in
simiple language and avoid abbreviations that
may not be generally understood.
Standard business format should be used. If you
are mailing your cover letter, be sure to use
paper that matches your resume and envelop
color.
Your cover letter should be interesting and
persuasive, and also convey your enthusiasm for
the opportunity. Using brief vignettes to describe
your skill will help put “a little meat on the bones”
of the letter, but should not go into too much
detail. Be direct and results-oriented
