Heuristic system:
The heuristic system considers all the immediate possible conditions that may lead to a solution for the problem. The system proceeds in the same manner until all the possible conditions are achieved. The heuristic system may require a large amount of work but ultimately it approaches towards a solution. The solution is one of the conditions achieved at the last. The conditions achieved at last may be in large numbers. It guarantees to have a solution among many conditions achieved in the end.
Best fit
To eliminate irrelevant moves, the tiles that are out of place should always be adjacent to the hole. The tiles that are already in place should not be moved. The best fit algorithm eliminates the moves having a higher cost, but only for proceeding moves. This algorithm does not consider the overall cost associated with a path.

- Question Given a singly linked list, you need to do two tasks. Swap the first node with the last node. Then count the number of nodes and if the number of nodes is an odd number then delete the first node, otherwise delete the last node of the linked list. For example, if the given linked list is 1->2->3->4->5 then the linked list should be modified to 2->3->4->1. Because 1 and 5 will be swapped and 5 will be deleted as the number of nodes in this linked list is 5 which is an odd number, that means the first node which contains 5 has been deleted. If the input linked list is NULL, then it should remain NULL. If the input linked list has 1 node, then this node should be deleted and a new head should be returned. Sample 1: Input: NULL output: NULL. Sample 2: Input: 1 output: NULL Sample 3: Input: 1->2 output: 2 Sample 4: Input: 1->2->3 output: 2->1 Sample 5: Input: 1->2->3->4 _output: 4->2->3 Sample 6: Input: 1->2->3->4->5->6 output: 6->2->3->4->5. Input: The function takes one argument…arrow_forwardYour second function is called “isTree". Its input is a graph G, which is a dictionary whose keys are the vertices, and whose values are lists of vertices that are adjacent to the given vertex. Its output is True if G is a tree and False if G is not a tree. Hint: You may want to make use of your "connected" function from the last coding assignment.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between a singly-linked list and a doubly-linked list? In what situation would you use a singly-linked list over a doubly-linked list? In what situation would you use a doubly-linked list over a singly-linked list? If a node is in a linked list with N nodes, how many nodes will be traversed during a search for the node? Explain the best- and worst-case search scenarios. Explain why a singly-linked list defines a RemoveAfter() function, while a doubly-linked list defines a Remove() function. Could a RemoveAfter() function also be defined for a doubly-linked list? Explain why or why not. Could a Remove() function also be defined for a singly-linked list? Explain why or why not.arrow_forward
- A linked list has a cycle such that if you start at any node p and follow a sufficient number of subsequent links, you will end up at node p. Not that p does not have to be the list's initial node. Assume you are given an N-node linked list. The value of N, on the other hand, remains unknown. 1. Create an O(N) algorithm to check if a list includes a cycle. You may add O(N) more spaces. 2. Rep the previous question, this time using just O(1) more space. (Hint: Use two pointers that start at the beginning of the list but progress at separate rates.)arrow_forwardComputer Science Exercise: shape [★★★] Write a function same_shape : 'a tree -> 'b tree -> bool that determines whether two trees have the same shape, regardless of whether the values they carry at each node are the same. Hint: use a pattern match with three branches, where the expression being matched is a pair of trees. please use Ocaml for the codingarrow_forward10. Please read the description of the topic and the prompt information carefully, and give an algorithm or program to solve the problem in the description of the topic. Starting from the top(17), at each node, you can choose to go directly below or bottom right, and walk to the bottom, asking to find a path so that the numbers on the path and max. 17 86 41 48 16 36 51 94 94 69 93 35 51 97 59 50 15 39 96 52 43arrow_forward
- Describe a strategy for keeping a binary search tree as short as possible. One example might be to unload all of the values and to reinsert them in a particular order. How long does your approach take to add a value?arrow_forwardConsider a (singly) linked list. Describe an algorithm to remove every second elementfrom the list.(HINT: The algorithm is similar to the one that is used when we delete a single node. Here,we need to skip an element after every deletion, and then if we have not reached the end ofthe list repeat this procedure until the list is exhausted.).arrow_forwardNote: Your solution should have O(n) time complexity, where n is the number of elements in l, and O(1) additional space complexity, since this is what you would be asked to accomplish in an interview. Given a linked list l, reverse its nodes k at a time and return the modified list. k is a positive integer that is less than or equal to the length of l. If the number of nodes in the linked list is not a multiple of k, then the nodes that are left out at the end should remain as-is. You may not alter the values in the nodes - only the nodes themselves can be changed.arrow_forward
