Class PebblingNumberExhaustiveGeneric

cusack.hcg.graph.algorithm.AbstractAlgorithm<PebbleInstance>

cusack.hcg.games.pebble.algorithms.PebbleAlgorithm

cusack.hcg.games.pebble.algorithms.deprecated.PebblingNumberExhaustiveGeneric

All Implemented Interfaces:

Direct Known Subclasses:

EfficientPebblingNumberExhaustive, PebblingNumberExhaustive

Deprecated.

@Deprecated
public abstract class PebblingNumberExhaustiveGeneric
extends PebbleAlgorithm

The framework to begin a PebblingNumber algorithm, this asks any child classes to implement just three methods, "setInitialConfiguration", "newPebblingNumber", and "nextConfiguartion". The "next" method will then determine the solvability of the configuration and ask for the nextConfiguration, or a newPebblingNumber.

PebblingNumberExhaustiveGeneric

public PebblingNumberExhaustiveGeneric()

Deprecated.

Method Detail

runAlgorithm

public void runAlgorithm()

Deprecated.

Continues to call "next" until the algorithm has finished, then prints out some useful information.

initializeMoreData

public void initializeMoreData()

Deprecated.

Sets up the arrays and initial configurations for the fields of this class.

Specified by:

initializeMoreData in class PebbleAlgorithm

getProgressReport

public java.lang.String getProgressReport()

Deprecated.

The printout in the Solvability Dialog box.

Specified by:

getProgressReport in interface AlgorithmInterface<PebbleInstance>

Overrides:

getProgressReport in class PebbleAlgorithm

Returns:

getCurrentProblemData

public java.lang.String getCurrentProblemData()

Deprecated.

Returns:

A string representation of the current state of the problem data. This should be in the same format as it was passed in to setProblemData, but updated to give the current state based on the algorithm progress so far. The idea is that this can be used to show the progress of the algorithm by some GUI (or in text form, I suppose).

countsOperations

public boolean countsOperations()

Deprecated.

Returns:

True if and only if the algorithm intends to keep track of the number of operations it is performing. Each algorithm is free to decide what it considers an "operation" to be.

next

public AlgorithmStates next()

Deprecated.

Determines the solvability of the currentConfiguration, and sets up the new configuration that will need to be run.

Returns:

DONE or NOT_DONE. DONE if all configurations of the current pebblingNumber have been checked and is the Pebbling Number of the graph, and NOT_DONE if it needs to be run again.
