Description
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
题意:如果翻其中一个格子,改变的是那个格子,它所在的行和列的格子都要翻转,求最少翻几次能使此图全为减号。
思路:这道题需要记录路径,所以要用深搜,我们知道一个格子可能翻转,也可能不翻转,所以深搜的复杂度是2的16次方,但细节上也需要注意,否则也会超时。
