The game “The Pilots Brothers: following the stripy elephant” has a quest where a player needs to open a refrigerator.
There are 16 handles on the refrigerator door. Every handle can be in one of two states: open or closed. The refrigerator is open only when all handles are open. The handles are represented as a matrix 4х4. You can change the state of a handle in any location [i, j] (1 ≤ i, j ≤ 4). However, this also changes states of all handles in row i and all handles in column j.
The task is to determine the minimum number of handle switching necessary to open the refrigerator.
Input
The input contains four lines. Each of the four lines contains four characters describing the initial state of appropriate handles. A symbol “+” means that the handle is in closed state, whereas the symbol “−” means “open”. At least one of the handles is initially closed.
Output
The first line of the input contains N – the minimum number of switching. The rest N lines describe switching sequence. Each of the lines contains a row number and a column number of the matrix separated by one or more spaces. If there are several solutions, you may give any one of them.
Sample Input

Sample Output
6 1 1 1 3 1 4 4 1 4 3 4 4
题解:4X4的开关,由【-】和【+】组成,要求翻动最少的开关,使所有开关变为【-】,如果翻动(2,3),则对应的第2行的·所有开关以及第3列的所有开关都将翻动。
和黑白棋那道题类似,具体看代码:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<algorithm>
#define inf 0x3f3f3f3f
using namespace std;
char s[5][5];
int mp[20][20],a[20][20],l,ans;
int check()//判定是否出现全【-】
{
for(int i=0; i<4; i++)
for(int j=0; j<4; j++)
if(s[i][j]=='+')
return 0;
return 1;
}
void lin(int x,int y)//翻转此开关及对应开关
{
for(int i=0; i<4; i++)
{
if(s[i][y]=='+')
s[i][y]='-';
else
s[i][y]='+';
if(i!=y)
{
if(s[x][i]=='+')
s[x][i]='-';
else
s[x][i]='+';
}
}
}
void dfs(int x,int y,int num)
{
if(check())
{
if(ans>num)
{
ans=num;
for(int i=0; i<num; i++)
{
//return之后mp数组的值会改变,所以及时存入另一数组
a[i][0]=mp[i][0];
a[i][1]=mp[i][1];
}
}
return ;
}
if(x==4)//最后一行搜过但仍未满足条件
return ;
lin(x,y);//翻转
mp[num][0]=x;
mp[num][1]=y;
if(y==3)//y=3说明已经x行已经搜索完毕,所以换行
dfs(x+1,0,num+1);
else
dfs(x,y+1,num+1);
lin(x,y);//不翻转此开关或此开关不满足,调用lin函数回到之前状态
if(y==3)
dfs(x+1,0,num);
else
dfs(x,y+1,num);
}
int main()
{
while(~scanf("%s",s[0]))
{
int i,j;
ans=inf;
l=0;
for(i=1; i<4; i++)
scanf("%s",s[i]);
dfs(0,0,0);
if(ans!=inf)
{
printf("%d\n",ans);
for(i=0; i<ans; i++)
printf("%d %d\n",a[i][0]+1,a[i][1]+1);
}
}
return 0;
}
