S. Loyd popularised the 8 puzzle game in the 1870s. It is played on a three-by-three matrix with eight pieces labelled 1 through eight and one blank space. Your objective is to organise the tiles in the correct sequence. You may move any accessible tile horizontally or vertically (but not diagonally) into the vacant rectangle. Create a programme that uses the A* algorithm to answer the riddle. Begin by prioritising the sum of the number of movements made to reach this board location plus the number of tiles in the incorrect position. (Keep in mind that the number of movements you must make from a particular board location is at least as large as the number of possible moves.)Consider replacing other functions for the number of tiles in the incorrect location, such as the total of the Manhattan distances from each tile to its right position or the sums of these distances' squares.
Control structures
Control structures are block of statements that analyze the value of variables and determine the flow of execution based on those values. When a program is running, the CPU executes the code line by line. After sometime, the program reaches the point where it has to make a decision on whether it has to go to another part of the code or repeat execution of certain part of the code. These results affect the flow of the program's code and these are called control structures.
Switch Statement
The switch statement is a key feature that is used by the programmers a lot in the world of programming and coding, as well as in information technology in general. The switch statement is a selection control mechanism that allows the variable value to change the order of the individual statements in the software execution via search.
