Program Plan Intro

To solve the maze escape problem

Program plan:

  • In the file PartialSolution.java”, create an interface PartialSolution”,
    • Create an interface that creates a partial solution to a backtracking problem.
    • Declare a method “examine()” that examines a partial solution.
    • Declare a method “extend()” that yields all extensions of this partial solution.
  • In the file Location.java”, create a class Location”,
    • Declare the variables.
    • Define the constructor.
    • Define a method “getRow()” to get the row of this location.
    • Define a method “getColumn()” to get the column of this location.
    • Define a method “toString()” to print the formatted string.
    • Define a method “equals()” to check for equal location.
  • In the file Maze.java”, create a class Maze”,
    • Declare the two-dimensional array variable.
    • Define the constructor to construct a maze from a string describing its contents.
    • Define a method “emptyNeighbors()” to empty neighbors.
    • Define a method “isExit()” to check whether a location is an exit.
    • Define a method “isValid()” to check whether a location is within the maze.
    • Define a method “isEmpty()” to check whether a location is within the maze and not a wall.
  • In the file MazePartialSolution.java”, import necessary package, and create a class MazePartialSolution”,
    • Declare necessary variables.
    • Define default and parameterized constructor.
    • Define a method “examine” to examine a partial solution.
    • Define a method “extend()” to yield all extensions of this partial solution.
    • Define a method “toString()” to return formatted string.
  • In the file Solver.java”, create a class Solver” that solves any problem using backtracking,
    • Define a method “solve()” to print all solutions to the problem that can be extended from a given partial solution.
  • In the file MazeSolver.java”, import necessary packages, and create a class “MazeSolver”,
    • Define the method “main()”,
      • Create an object for “Maze”.
      • Call the method “solve()”.

Methods (Ch6) - Review 1. (The MyRoot method) Below is a manual implementation of the Math.sqrt() method in Java. There are two methods, method #1 which calculates the square root for positive integers, and method #2, which calculates the square root of positive doubles (also works for integers). public class SquareRoot { public static void main(String[] args) { } // implement a loop of your choice here // Method that calculates the square root of integer variables public static double myRoot(int number) { double root; root=number/2; double root old; do { root old root; root (root_old+number/root_old)/2; } while (Math.abs(root_old-root)>1.8E-6); return root; } // Method that calculates the square root of double variables public static double myRoot(double number) { double root; root number/2; double root_old; do { root old root; root (root_old+number/root_old)/2; while (Math.abs (root_old-root)>1.0E-6); return root; } } Program-it-Yourself: In the main method, create a program that…
