Description
Background
The knight is getting bored of seeing the same black and white squares again and again and has decided to make a journey
around the world. Whenever a knight moves, it is two squares in one direction and one square perpendicular to this. The world of a knight is the chessboard he is living on. Our knight lives on a chessboard that has a smaller area than a regular 8 * 8 board, but it is still rectangular. Can you help this adventurous knight to make travel plans?
Problem
Find a path such that the knight visits every square once. The knight can start and end on any square of the board.
Input
The input begins with a positive integer n in the first line. The following lines contain n test cases. Each test case consists of a single line with two positive integers p and q, such that 1 <= p * q <= 26. This represents a p * q chessboard, where p describes how many different square numbers 1, . . . , p exist, q describes how many different square letters exist. These are the first q letters of the Latin alphabet: A, . . .
Output
The output for every scenario begins with a line containing “Scenario #i:”, where i is the number of the scenario starting at 1. Then print a single line containing the lexicographically first path that visits all squares of the chessboard with knight moves followed by an empty line. The path should be given on a single line by concatenating the names of the visited squares. Each square name consists of a capital letter followed by a number.
If no such path exist, you should output impossible on a single line.
Sample Input
3
1 1
2 3
4 3
Sample Output
Scenario #1:
A1
Scenario #2:
impossible
Scenario #3:
A1B3C1A2B4C2A3B1C3A4B2C4

自从学会了用bfs+存储路径之后就看这道题,一直想着用bfs写,最后发现如果用bfs写的话,便利地图的话,一开始加入队列的点,标记之后没有办法再走了。想不到怎么解决这个问题,最后还是用bfs写的。
总体上就是dfs遍历地图+字典序+输出路径
字典序经学习是要从A1开始搜,然后按照字典序从大到小的方向搜索就可以了,不得不说这个搜索的方向一开始为难了好久,对题中的p和q,和自己定义的x,y,老是搞迷。
