C/C++ :: Maze Solver Is Not Backtracking Correctly?
Mar 15, 2014
I'm working on a homework problem where we are given a class of functions to traverse a maze and must use those functions to recursively find the end.
The problem I'm having is when the function backtracks it doesn't reset the whole path it came from.
Here is my function that I have created
void solveMaze(Maze M, int path[][MAX])
{
// << overwritten to print the maze out
cout<<M;
[Code].....

I'm working on a maze solving program. So far I got the program to solve a maze using the recursive backtracking algorithm. I represent the maze as vector<vector<Square>> where Square is an enum that contains the kind of square (empty, wall, etc.). I use a class Point that contains 2 ints which are used for subscripting the vector of vectors. I have a Point begin and Point end. Now I want the program to solve the maze using the shortest path. I can either use the A* algorithm, Dijkstra's algorithm, or the breadth first search algorithm.

I have to make a maze with arrays, but i cant seem to move down or up or at all. Here is what I have so far
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>

Been trying for a while now to complete a physics degree first year computing task I've been assigned, which is to create a wordsearch solver to read to an array a wordsearch from a .txt file and find words in all directions (x+,x-y+ etc.).
I have a feeling the program is almost complete, but will stop looking for the word once the first character of the word has already come up. For example, if I'm searching for computer, and a c exists in an array element before it, the program will stop searching. I have included my code and the wordsearch file beneath.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h> //Used for the'toupper' functio
int main()
}

I'm working on an anagram solver, and started with words 3 characters big. But it can solve some words and not others.
std::string str = "enp";
std::string match = "";
int chk = 0;
[Code].....
With the string "enp", it knows it matches "pen". But if I use "mum", it doesn't match it with "mum".
Is there something flawed with my algroithm?

As it is known there are nine boxes and in each box we can put numbers 1-9 without repetition. I am trying to check a given filled Sudoku puzzle whether appropriate numbers are inserted in each of the nine boxes. For the time being I don't consider row repetition and column repetition. I wrote the code using loops and condition
I used 9*9 text-boxes. The names of the textboxes is sequential like for example for the first box
txt11,txt12,txt13
txt14,txt15,txt16
txt17,txt18,txt19
Actually, I used also the controls id to access the text boxes, and each box is checking with the neighboring boxes for equality both in forward -> and backward <-
image
So here is the code
public void BoxCheck() {
int start = 82, end = 74;
int i, b, f;
for (int p = 1; p <= 9; p++, start -= 9, end -= 9) {
richTextBox1.AppendText("Box " + 1);
[Code] ....
This works pretty fine, but is is the right way to do it? it is efficient? Remember for a full checking I have to include row check and column check as well, this is just for checking within each of the 9 boxes in Sudoku.

I am trying to implement the linear programming solver. This is the header file of the linear programming solver :
/*!
internal
Representation of a LP constraint like:
(c1 * X1) + (c2 * X2) + ... = K
or <= K
or >= K
Where (ci, Xi) are the pairs in "variables" and K the real "constant".
*/
[Code] .....
I want to parse all the constraints and bounds as inputs and get the maximum value of the objective function as the output using the above lpsolver header file. I have also attached the sample file below.

So, I successfully made a program that will perform the quadratic equation on three numbers, imaginary or real. however, i am now trying to simplify the result, as to get rid of the "/2a" on the bottom. Hence the simplify() function. I just started to create the simplification function, and am attempting to divide the imaginary part of the solution as well as the real part of the solution by 2a. Somehow, it gives the error, "error:invalid operands of types 'int' and 'double *' to binary 'operator*'" on lines 105 and 106. I suspect it has to do with the pointers and references that i am passing as parameters. Also, just an aside, I have never actually seen "/=" be used. It can be, right? I know "+=" can be.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cmath>
#include <cstdlib>//simplify the answer
using namespace std;
int count=0;
//prototyping
double ans_1(double,double,double);

I am creating a sudoku solver/generator. I have 81 text boxes on the form. I want the form to automatically clean up the input, eliminating alpha characters, and values under 1 or over 10. Anyways I have this method written, but I really don't want to go through and type up a change method for each text box. Is there to write a method that fires when ANY text box is changed, and gets the string value from the changed text box?

So I have a program where I solve a maze using stacks. So my display_maze function take two parameters and displays the maze according to where the x coordinate and y coordinate are.
I have an error during my move function, as my maze doesn't display for some reason
void Player::player_move() {
Stack stack;
Maze maze;
Lock taken;
// Monster monster;
stack.push_values();
[Code] ....
It should be displaying, because after debugging I discovered the problem isn't with the display_maze function.

I am creating a right hand maze solution, and it actually works for the most part, but it gets stuck at the sixth spot and will not proceed any further. I cannot seem to find my error even though I know it's probably a small one in my code, here is what I have at the moment:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <Windows.h>

What c++ code can be used to make an 'X' move through a maze. I have some code, but I'm not sure where to go from there. I have divided the program into three files, A header file, a main file and a .cpp implementation file.
In my implementation file I have:
#include "Maze.h"
Maze::Maze() {
} void Maze::mazeTraversal(char maze[][COLS], int row, int col, int direction) {
enum Direction {DOWN, RIGHT, UP, LEFT};
switch(option)

Area of the room. Your task is to write a program that will find the area of room in a given square maze.
Note. Use recursion for solving this problem.
Input:
First line contains only one number N (3 <= N <= 10).The number that describes the size of the square maze.
On the next N lines maze itself is inputed ('.' - empty cell,'*' - wall).
And the last line contains two numbers - the row and column of the cell in the room those area you need to find.It is guaranteed that given cell is empty and that the maze is surrounded by walls on all sides.
Output:
Output only one number - total amount of empty cells in the selected room.

This program is to solve a word maze and find the number of words in the maze from a dictionary file.
The program runs, but stops by finding 1,2 and 3 letter words.
#include<iostream>
#include<vector>
#include<fstream>
#include<algorithm>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
vector <string> dict,forward,reverse;
[Code] .....
I also tried to find words using the entire vector as a container, the synopsis code that also did not work is below
while(j<dict.size()) {
if(dict[j].size()>2) {
if (std::find(forward.begin(), forward.end(), dict[j]) != forward.end()) {
cout<<"found word "<<dict[j]<<endl;

My maze algorithm must be able to count total steps. He is not allowed to "jump" from a deadend back to the cross-way he originally came from.
Code:
int R2D2Turbo::findIt(Labyrinth* incLab, int x, int y){
if ((x == incLab->getExit().x) && (y == incLab->getExit().y))
{
return 1;
[Code] .....
Due to the nature of recursive algoirthms, he jumps instead of moving the way back from the deadend one by one... The only solutions I could think of are way overloaded...

I'm trying to read a "pointer-based" maze .txt. The first letter in each row corresponds to the room letter...then the letters that follow are North node, East node, South node, and West node respectively. The asterisk indicates an empty room or not a valid option.
Here is what I have come up with, what is happening is after the file is parsed by read_maze it is calling my is_empty function indicating that there is no maze because it doesn't go into the else statement here.
I've attached a sample input file:
maze.txt (130bytes)
Number of downloads: 19
We can't assume the rooms will be in order alphabetically A - Z, We are expecting a maximum of 12 rooms and there is a space between each letter or asterisk.
void Maze::read_maze(string FileName){
string line;
ifstream inStream;
inStream.open(FileName.c_str());
int test = inStream.peek();
int i = 0;
if (!(inStream.fail())){
while (!inStream.eof() && test != EOF){

so i have this problem with my code ( not running)i want to read ( 2 double numbers x,y) and ( one integer z) then calculate reminder of x and y ( after they both converted to integer) and the formula : x^2 + y^2 + z^2and : x^z + y^z
here is what i came up with :
Code:
// compute.c
#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>
int main(void)
{
[Code]....
it also says in q : be sure to test the user input to make sure x,y,z are positive . any negative or zero should not be accepted and must print error msg ==> do i have to have an if statement here ? or the while loop is enough ?
