CHAPTER 4 RECURSION

BASICALLY, A FUNCTION IS RECURSIVE IF IT INCLUDES A CALL TO ITSELF.

EXAMPLE 3: TOWERS OF HANOI

// Precondition: n > 0. // Postcondition: The steps needed to move n disks from pole orig // to pole dest have been written out. Pole temp // is used for temporary storage. // The worstTime(n) is O(2 n ). void move (int n, char orig, char dest, char temp) { if (n == 1) cout << "Move disk 1 from " << orig << " to " << dest << endl; else { move (n ‑ 1, orig, temp, dest); cout << "Move disk " << n << " from " << orig << " to " << dest << endl; move (n ‑ 1, temp, dest, orig) ; } // else } // move

THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CALLS TO move IS: n … + 2 n-1 =  2 i i=0

n-1  2 i = 2 n - 1 i=0 SEE EXAMPLE 6 OF APPENDIX 1 FOR A PROOF BY MATHEMATICAL INDUCTION.

WE CONCLUDE THAT worstTime(n) is O(2 n ), AND, BECAUSE 2 n - 1 DISKS MUST BE MOVED, O(2 n ) IS THE SMALLEST UPPER BOUND OF worstTime(n).

EXAMPLE 4: BACKTRACKING

BACKTRACKING IS THE STRATEGY OF TRYING TO REACH A GOAL BY A SEQUENCE OF CHOSEN POSITIONS, WITH RE-TRACING IN REVERSE ORDER OF POSITIONS THAT CANNOT LEAD TO THE GOAL.

STRATEGY: TRY TO GO WEST; IF UNABLE TO GO WEST, TRY TO GO SOUTH; IF UNABLE TO GO SOUTH, BACKTRACK (UNTIL YOU CAN GO SOUTH). THE GOAL IS EITHER G1 OR G2. P3 P2 P1 P4 P5 G2 P7 P6 G1

WHEN A POSITION IS VISITED, IT IS MARKED AS (POTENTIALLY) BEING ON A PATH TO THE GOAL. IF WE DISCOVER OTHERWISE, THE MARKING MUST BE UNDONE, SO THAT POSITION WILL NEVER AGAIN BE VISITED. FOR EXAMPLE, P5 IS NOT VISITED FROM P8.

WE WILL SOLVE THIS MAZE-SEARCH PROBLEM WITHIN THE GENERAL FRAMEWORK OF BACKTRACKING, WHICH CAN EASILY BE UTILIZED IN OTHER APPLICATIONS.

ALREADY PROVIDED: Application.h (methods such as valid, record, done, undo ) GENERAL-PURPOSE Backtrack CLASS; main FUNCTION; USER SUPPLIES: A SOURCE FILE THAT IMPLEMENTS THE HEADER FILE Application.h; A Position CLASS

MAZE SEARCHING: 1 = CORRIDOR; 0 = WALL start finish ITERATOR CHOICES: NORTH, EAST, SOUTH, WEST

SOLUTION: 9 = PATH; 2 = DEAD END

ALL THAT NEED TO BE DEVELOPED ARE THE Position CLASS AND THE SOURCE FILE THAT IMPLEMENTS Application.h. FOR THIS APPLICATION, A POSITION IS SIMPLY A ROW AND COLUMN, SO:

EXERCISE: RECALL THE SOLUTION WHEN THE ORDER WAS NORTH, EAST, SOUTH, WEST:

RE-SOLVE WITH THE ORDER NORTH, EAST, WEST, SOUTH: start finish HINT: ONLY ONE ‘1’ REMAINS.
