RE: [Tutor] Re: Interesting anomaly with the Eight Queens problem
If you go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_queens_puzzle Down at the bottom page is a very short python program that gives the solutions to the eight queens problem in a very neat manner. Ara There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed, though you still get the same soaking. - Yamamoto Tsunetomo -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lee Cullens Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 11:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: tutor@python.org Subject: Re: [Tutor] Re: Interesting anomaly with the Eight Queens problem John The type of problem you mention and the extent of positioning you go to could result in an incomplete solution. In very general terms one would need to place the first Queen then find an appropriate position for the second, and each of the remaining Queens in turn until either there are no appropriate positions to be found or all eight Queens have been positioned. If all eight Queens can not be positioned, then the first Queen would be moved and the remaining Queen positioning worked through again. This is a made for recursion type of problem, but could be done with nested loops. The Trying everything approach can , of course, be a very lengthy process. I seem to remember a more sophisticated model for this type of problem (I think somehow related to linear algebra) but can't recall the specifics at the moment. Maybe one of the more academic (an younger) members of this list can point you in such a direction.

This time, I wanted to use a non-recursive solution. I randomly place each queen on board coordinates running from 0,0(top left hand corner of board) to 7,7(lower right hand corner of board) Here's the interesting part: I can only get eight queens safely on the board perhaps every one in 20 runs. At least 12 or 13 of those times, I can place seven queens, while five or six times, I can only place six queens or even five! Once a queen is safely placed, I establish her territory. Once this is done, when I try to place a subsequent queen, I check for all placed queen's territories. Once I place six or seven queens, I have to give the program a lot more tries to try to find a safe square. And it can't always be done. Does this sound right? Does trying to place each queen randomly cause this anomaly? I can post my code(beginner code!) if anyone is interested in seeing it.

[Tutor] Percolation model in python
Title: Percolation model in python
Hello,
I have been working with some high school students to create a model of small pox transmission.
I am somewhat new to python (my programming experience is in f77) so I have borrowed parts of Danny's code that he posted for the Game of Life. I have included the code that we are using below.
I have two questions. Once a MxN world is generated how would you search for nearest neighbors (to see who is connected) and then color the '*' so it's easier to see who is connected and who isn't.
For a definition of percolation theory- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percolation_theory

[Tutor] Modifying game of life
I was trying to modify the Game of Life to a percolation model (you can
pick what the probability of each point being occupied). I wrote the def
for the percolation however when I print the world all I get is
NONE NONE NONE NONE
Etc...
I know my problem is in the line world[i, j] = percolation(perc). The
original code that Danny wrote had the line
world[i,j]= random.choice([LIVE,DEAD]). I am guessing that Danny's code
give a 50/50 chance of a site being occupied and assigns that to i,j . I
do not have the correct syntax to make the world[i,j] go through the
percolation def. I think i and j are not getting assigned a value.
Does anyone have an suggestions, explanations, websites? Thanks.

[Tutor] The Game of Life question
This is most likely a silly question and me not understanding python
enough. I am a mentor for some high school kids participating in a
supercomputing challenge. My background in programming is F77 (yeah
laugh it up) and I want the kids to learn python and use it for the
challenge.
They picked a project to model the flow of smallpox in a city and
surroundings areas. So I saw the game of life and thought maybe they
could modify it for use as a smallpox model. My question is when I run
this code as is and execute the command to generate a world, I get the
following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File pyshell#0, line 1, in -toplevel-
print_world(make_random_world(10, 10))
File C:\Python23\gameoflife.py, line 12, in make_random_world
world[i, j] = random.choice([LIVE, DEAD])
NameError: global name 'random' is not defined
Does random need to be defined after LIVE,DEAD or am I just missing
something. I was trying to run this on my work computer which is a winXP
machine running python 2.4.
Thanks,
Ara
