Re: 7 bridges

Hi Amartyanil;

The seven bridges of konigsberg is an amazing problem first investigated and solved by Leonhard Euler.

Nope. Atleast sphider doesn't get it.

We do not have a page about N-Queens either

That is right but I have a good post about it.

Re: 7 bridges

Sorry, I did a nice post on non attacking rooks which is harder. I got confused.

There is tons of stuff about it on the internet. I can probably answer any question you might have on it.

It sure is, I have the definitive work on such problems.

OK. Would you explain a code?

Re: 7 bridges

Yes. From here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_queens_puzzle

from itertools import permutations
 
n = 8
cols = range(n)
for vec in permutations(cols):
    if (n == len(set(vec[i] + i for i in cols))
          == len(set(vec[i] - i for i in cols))):
        print vec

Re: 7 bridges

Hi;

It uses a method of generating all the permutations like the M code does at Rosetta. Unfortunately, I do not understand what the heck he is doing.

Re: 7 bridges

I read somewhere that it filters out the solutions from the Rook problem

Re: 7 bridges

That is correct. Then it only has to check like a bishop. Off course there is a little more to that routine.
