Question

Write in Python This program:

1. Correct the compute_cells_state function which receives as parameter an array of 2-dimensional booleans. The table is indexed online then in column.
   A cell is called "alive" if the Boolean is true otherwise it is said that it is "dead".
   Each cell to 8 "neighbors" (the 4 adjacent cells and the 4 cells diagonally)
   The function modifies each cell according to the following rule:
     - if the cell has 2 or 3 living neighbors she is alive otherwise she is dead
"" "

def compute_cells_state (cells):
   width = len (cells)
   height = len (cells [0])
   # we are using deepcopy because the Python Repl VM has approximate pointer management
   old_cells = copy.deepcopy (cells)

old_cells = copy.deepcopy(cells)

#Start here
for i in range(width):
for j in range(height):
if calc_count(old_cells,i,j,width,height) in (2,3):
cells[i][j]="alive"
else:
cells[i][j]="dead"
print("The result is:")
for row in cells:
print(row)

#Testing the code
cells=[ [True,True,False,True],
[False,False,False,True],
[False,True,True,True],
[True,True,False,False]
]
