Program Plan Intro
Instruction Set Architecture (ISA)
- An ISA is an abstract model of a computer and is also referred to as architecture or computer architecture.
- It defines the supported data types, registers, hardware support for managing main memory fundamental features and the input/output model of a family of implementations of ISA.
- It specifies the behavior of machine code running on implementations of ISA and does not depend on the characteristics of that implementation.

a) first player is the minimizing player. What move should be chosen?b) What nodes would not need to be examined using the alpha-beta pruning procedure?
Consider the problem of finding a path in the grid shown below from the position S to theposition G. The agent can move on the grid horizontally and vertically, one square at atime (each step has a cost of one). No step may be made into a forbidden crossed area. Inthe case of ties, break it using up, left, right, and down.(a) Draw the search tree in a greedy search. Manhattan distance should be used as theheuristic function. That is, h(n) for any node n is the Manhattan distance from nto G. The Manhattan distance between two points is the distance in the x-directionplus the distance in the y-direction. It corresponds to the distance traveled along citystreets arranged in a grid. For example, the Manhattan distance between G and S is4. What is the path that is found by the greedy search?(b) Draw the search tree in an A∗search. Manhattan distance should be used as the
