HDU 2078 Problem Analysis and Solution Approach
The problem **
HDU 2078** involves a breadth
-first search (BFS)
algorithm to explore the shortest path within a grid
-based environment. The BFS is used as an efficient method for traversing or searching tree or graph data structures[^2]. In this context, it helps determine whether there exists a valid path from one point `(a, b)` to another `(xx, yy)` under specific constraints.
#### Key Concepts
1. **Decision Space**: Defined by variable bounds that restrict possible values of decision variables.
2. **Search Space**: Includes both variable bounds and additional constraints imposed on the system[^1].
3. **Optimization Transformation**: Maximization problems can be transformed into minimization ones simply by multiplying the objective function by `
-1`.
For solving
HDU 2078 programmatically:
```cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <queue>
using namespace std;
const int MAXN = 1e3 + 5;
bool visited[MAXN][MAXN];
int dirX[] = {0, 0,
-1, 1};
int dirY[] = {
-1, 1, 0, 0};
// Function implementing Breadth First Search
int bfs(int startX, int startY, int endX, int endY, int n, int m){
queue<pair<int,int>> q;
if(startX<0 || startY<0 || startX>=n || startY >=m ) return
-1;
memset(visited,false,sizeof(visited));
q.push({startX,startY});
visited[startX][startY]=true;
int steps=0;
while(!q.empty()){
int size=q.size();
for(int i=0;i<size;i++){
pair<int,int> currentPos=q.front(); q.pop();
if(currentPos.first==endX && currentPos.second==endY){
return steps;
}
for(int j=0;j<4;j++){
int newX=currentPos.first+dirX[j];
int newY=currentPos.second+dirY[j];
if(newX>=0 && newX<n && newY>=0 && newY<m && !visited[newX][newY]){
visited[newX][newY]=true;
q.push({newX,newY});
}
}
}
steps++;
}
return
-1;
}
int main(){
int t,n,m,a,b,xx,yy,sum;
cin >>t;
while(t
--){
cin>>n>>m>>sum;
cin>>a>>b>>xx>>yy;
int temp=bfs(a,b,xx,yy,n,m);
if(temp>=0) cout<<sum+temp<<endl;
else cout<<
-1<<endl;
}
}
```
This
code snippet demonstrates how BFS works effectively when navigating through grids where movement restrictions apply. It initializes queues with starting positions and iteratively explores neighboring cells until reaching the destination cell or exhausting all possibilities without finding any viable route.
#### Explanation of
Code Components
- `bfs`: Implements the core logic using standard BFS techniques over two
-dimensional arrays representing maps/boards.
- Movement Directions (`dirX`, `dirY`): Define four cardinal directions—upward (
-y), downward (+y), leftward (
-x), rightward (+x)—for exploring adjacent nodes during traversal processes.
