I like that sort of problems. If only to construct recursive algorithms for them.

Here is a recursive procedure to construct and print out all paths of given length from a last visited node, provided a head path is already given and we know what nodes are left for a potential visit:

use strict; use warnings; my %adj = ( 1 => [2,5,6], 2 => [1,3,5,6,7], 3 => [2,4,6,7,8], 4 => [3,7,8], 5 => [1,2,6,9,10], 6 => [1,2,3,5,7,9,10,11], 7 => [2,3,4,6,8,10,11,12], 8 => [3,4,7,11,12], 9 => [5,6,10,13,14], 10 => [5,6,7,9,11,13,14,15], 11 => [6,7,8,10,12,14,15,16], 12 => [7,8,11,15,16], 13 => [9,10,14], 14 => [9,10,11,13,15], 15 => [10,11,12,14,16], 16 => [11,12,15] ); sub boggle { my ($sofar, $last, $remains, $lentogo) = @_; return print "@$sofar\n" unless $lentogo; return () unless @$remains; my (@right, @left) = @$remains; while (my $next = shift @right) { boggle([@$sofar, $next], $next, [@left, @right], $lentogo-1) i +f grep {$next==$_} @{$adj{$last}}; push(@left, $next); } } for my $len (3 .. 6) { # len 3 .. 6 for my $start (1 .. 16) { # all starting points boggle([$start],$start,[1..$start-1,$start+1..16], $len); } };

the last lines show the application to print out all paths of lengths 3 .. 6 starting anywhere on the 16 grid points.

Edit: fixed a bug in the while loop.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
