In here, I will write each node as | |
[weight]number=expr | |
and, as a compact notation, multiple nodes with same weight | |
[w]n1=e1 [w]n2=e2 [w]n3=e3 | |
are denoted | |
[w]n1=e1 n2=e2 n3=e3 | |
I will trace execution of your algorithm applied to input {20}. | |
First, I register [0]1 and generate [1]2=1+1 | |
Registered: | |
[0]1 | |
Generated: | |
[1]2=1+1 | |
in generated queue, only [1]2=1+1 exists. then I register it | |
and generate [2]3=1+2 and [3]4=2^2. | |
Registered: | |
[0]1 [1]2=1+1 | |
Generated: | |
[2]3=1+2 [3]4=2^2 | |
take first 1 node in generated queue and register if it is new number. | |
(Generated queue is sorted by weight of each node.) | |
all new possible calculations with 3 are: | |
[3]4=1+3 [4]5=2+3 [5]6=3+3 | |
[4]6=2*3 [5]9=3*3 | |
[4]8=2^3 [4]9=3^2 [5]27=3^3 | |
add them without 27 (because it is too large) | |
Registered: | |
[0]1 [1]2=1+1 [2]3=1+2 | |
Generated: | |
[3]4=2^2 4=1+3 | |
[4]5=2+3 6=2*3 8=2^3 9=3^2 | |
[5]6=3+3 9=3^2 | |
step next-> | |
I have encountered [3]4=2^2 and [3]4=1+3, which have same weight and same number. | |
Let me choose [3]4=2^2... | |
Registered: | |
[0]1 [1]2=1+1 [2]3=1+2 [3]4=2^2 | |
New: | |
[4]5=1+4 [5]6=2+4 [6]7=3+4 [7]8=4+4 | |
[5]8=2*4 [6]12=3*4 [7]16=4*4 | |
[5]16=2^4 | |
[5]16=4^2 | |
Generated: | |
[3]4=1+3 | |
[4]5=2+3 5=1+4 6=2*3 8=2^3 9=3^2 | |
[5]6=3+3 6=2+4 8=2*4 9=3^2 16=2^4 16=4^2 | |
[6]7=3+4 12=3*4 | |
[7]8=4+4 16=4*4 | |
step next-> | |
Again, I have encountered [4]5=2+3 and [4]5=1+4. | |
Let me choose [4]5=2+3... | |
Registered: | |
[0]1 [1]2=1+1 [2]3=1+2 [3]4=2^2 [4]5=2+3 | |
New: | |
[5]6=1+5 [6]7=2+5 [7]8=3+5 [8]9=4+5 [9]10=5+5 | |
[6]10=2*5 [7]15=3*5 [8]20=4*5 | |
Generated: | |
[4]5=1+4 6=2*3 8=2^3 9=3^2 | |
[5]6=3+3 6=2+4 6=1+5 8=2*4 9=3^2 16=2^4 16=4^2 | |
[6]7=3+4 7=2+5 10=2*5 12=3*4 | |
[7]8=4+4 8=3+5 15=3*5 16=4*4 | |
[8]9=4+5 20=4*5 | |
[9]10=5+5 | |
It hits 20, so final result is | |
2=1+1 | |
3=1+2 | |
4=2^2 | |
5=2+3 | |
20=4*5 | |
...if I chose [4]5=1+4 instead of [4]5=2+3, 3=1+2 were no longer needed. | |
2=1+1 | |
4=2^2 | |
5=1+4 | |
20=4*5 | |
But, there was no way to determine which was better (think if input was {15}). |
