Program Plan Intro

Stack:

  • A stack is a linear data structure.
  • The stack follows the order LIFO (last-in-first-out) for performing operations.
  • The two main operations performed on stack are,
    • Push() – Add item to stack.
    • Pop() – Remove item from stack.

“Push()” method:

The “Push()” is a method used to insert or add an item to the stack. The element is pushed at the top of the stack.

  • The “Push()” will have an item as its argument and it returns the argument which is passed.
  • If the stack is full and when “push()” method is calls the push will generate “StackOverFlowException” and return.

Syntax for push operation:

STACK.push(E element)

“Pop()” method:

  • The method “pop()” is used to delete an item from the stack.
  • This method does not have any argument and when this method called on a stack, the element at the top of the stack is removed.
  • This method will return the top element before removing it.
  • If the stack is empty (its size is equal to 0) and when the “pop()” method is called pop throws the “EmptyStackException” object.

Syntax for pop operation:

  STACK.pop()

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
