Question: Consider the 3 - period binomial model on a stock with current price S 0 = $ 1 0 0 . There are three time

Consider the 3-period binomial model on a stock with current
price S0=$100.There are three time steps, and at each time step, the stock price either
moves upby20%or moves down by20%.The risk-free interest rate isr=10%.
Find the current price and compute the number of shares of stock which should be
held by the replicating portfolio at time 0only (0)for:
(a)Lookback call option with a strike price of $100that pays off (at time three)
V3=(max0n3Sn-100)+.
i got V_0to be 38.585but i don't know
i could not find delta_0
i ran a program and got this but it confuses me
Stock Prices at t=3: [51.20000000000001,76.80000000000001,115.2,172.79999999999998]
Payoffs at t=3: [0,0,15.200000000000003,72.79999999999998]
Current Price of Lookback Call Option (V0): 27.89256198347109
Delta at t=0(Delta_0): -0.7871900826446282
(b)Lookback put option with a strike price of $100that pays off (at time three)
V3=(100-min0n3Sn)+
