Element 1 Element 2 Element 3 Element 4 end function 2 1 1 Top 2 Task 4: Complete the following function: function SEARCHSTACK(stack, item) 4 The coordinates of the element in yellow are (3,2), for example. So to select the value stored there we use the syntax puzzle[3][2], since we are looking at the second element in puzzle[3]. Using this coordinate system to re- fer to the 2-by-2 sub-grids, for example, the top-left sub-grid will consist of the elements (1,1), (1,2), (2,1) and (2,2). You will check the Pseudoku conditions using a stack. In particular, you will start with a stack containing all numbers from 1 to 4, and then inspect each element in each column (or sub-grid) to see if the number in that element is stored in the stack: if it is stored in the stack, pop that value from the stack and return the stack; otherwise, return false. This process will be repeated for every element in a column or sub-grid. If, at the end of checking every element, the stack is empty then all numbers appear in the the column or sub-grid; if the stack is not empty, then not all numbers from 1 to 4 appear. We will complete a function called SEARCHSTACK(stack, item) that will search a stack for the value item: if item is in one of the elements of the stack, we remove that element storing item. Otherwise, the function should return FALSE Let's demonstrate this with diagram. We have the following stack: 2 1 1 Top 1 3 2 3 3 4 We want to look for the value 3 in the stack and remove it if it is there, otherwise if it is not there, return FALSE. The value 3 is stored in the stack so we then need to remove it so the stack could look like this: 3 The next task will be to complete a function that does this process of searching a stack and possibly removing an element. This function will take a stack and a value (called item) as input parameters, and return FALSE if item is not stored in the stack, otherwise return the stack without the element storing item.
