Problem : Write a function that takes the same arguments as TOH but instead of printing out the solution, returns the number of disc moves in solving the problem.
Problem : If the only change in the rules of the Towers of Hanoi problem were that you only had two poles instead of three, would the problem still be solvable?
No; you need a temporary pole to work with. With only two poles, you would be stuck after the first move.Problem : If you have a problem that has a recurrence relation of T(n) = 2T(n/2) + 1, T(1) = 1, what would be an appropriate big-O notation?
O(nlogn)Problem : CHALLENGE: Write an iterative solution to the Towers of Hanoi problem.
Problem : In the iterative solution presented above, what is the purpose of the 1 << n? How does this relate to Towers of Hanoi?
Shifting the number 1 left by n is equivalent to doing 2n. Since we go through the following for loop from 1 to less than n, we're looping 2n - 1 times. This is the number of disk movements it takes to solve the Towers of Hanoi puzzle.Please wait while we process your payment
