G - Prime Path

本文介绍了一个有趣的算法问题——素数路径。目标是从一个四位素数通过改变一位数字变为另一个四位素数,且每一步都必须保持为素数,求最短路径及成本。文章提供了完整的代码实现,并解释了如何通过生成所有素数表并使用广度优先搜索来解决该问题。

题目:

The ministers of the cabinet were quite upset by the message from the Chief of Security stating that they would all have to change the four-digit room numbers on their offices. 
— It is a matter of security to change such things every now and then, to keep the enemy in the dark. 
— But look, I have chosen my number 1033 for good reasons. I am the Prime minister, you know! 
— I know, so therefore your new number 8179 is also a prime. You will just have to paste four new digits over the four old ones on your office door. 
— No, it’s not that simple. Suppose that I change the first digit to an 8, then the number will read 8033 which is not a prime! 
— I see, being the prime minister you cannot stand having a non-prime number on your door even for a few seconds. 
— Correct! So I must invent a scheme for going from 1033 to 8179 by a path of prime numbers where only one digit is changed from one prime to the next prime. 

Now, the minister of finance, who had been eavesdropping, intervened. 
— No unnecessary expenditure, please! I happen to know that the price of a digit is one pound. 
— Hmm, in that case I need a computer program to minimize the cost. You don't know some very cheap software gurus, do you? 
— In fact, I do. You see, there is this programming contest going on... Help the prime minister to find the cheapest prime path between any two given four-digit primes! The first digit must be nonzero, of course. Here is a solution in the case above. 

1033 
1733 
3733 
3739 
3779 
8779 
8179

The cost of this solution is 6 pounds. Note that the digit 1 which got pasted over in step 2 can not be reused in the last step – a new 1 must be purchased.

Input

One line with a positive number: the number of test cases (at most 100). Then for each test case, one line with two numbers separated by a blank. Both numbers are four-digit primes (without leading zeros).

Output

One line for each case, either with a number stating the minimal cost or containing the word Impossible.

Sample Input

3
1033 8179
1373 8017
1033 1033

Sample Output

6
7
0

题意:

一个四位数,每次改变个十百千位的其中一位,使之变成一个四位素数,求由a到b进行变化的最小的次数;

思路:

首先要进行打表,求出所有的素数,否则时间可能会超限,然后再用广搜进行搜索;

代码如下:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<queue>
using namespace std;

int t,aa,bb;
int s[11000];

void init()//素数进行打表,
{
    int i,j;
    memset(s,0,sizeof s);
    s[1]=1;
    for(i=2;i<11000;i++)
    {
        if(s[i]==0)//是素数
        {
            for(j=2;j*i<11000;j++)
            {
                s[i*j]=1;
            }
        }
    }
    return ;
}

struct node
{
    int x;
    int step;
};
int book[11000];

int bfs()
{
    int i,j,w,e;
    int q[5];
    node a,next;
    queue<node>Q;
    memset(book,0,sizeof book);
    a.x=aa;
    a.step=0;
    book[aa]=1;
    Q.push(a);
    while(!Q.empty())
    {
        a=Q.front();
        Q.pop();
        if(a.x==bb)
            return a.step;
        q[0]=a.x/1000;//取出这个数的千 百 十 个 位;
        q[1]=a.x/100%10;
        q[2]=a.x/10%10;
        q[3]=a.x%10;
        for(i=0;i<4;i++)
        {
            e=q[i];//进行记录,保持原来的数值不变;
            for(j=0;j<10;j++)
            {
                if(q[i]!=j)
                {
                    q[i]=j;
                    w=q[0]*1000+q[1]*100+q[2]*10+q[3];
                    if(w<1000||w>10000||book[w]==1||s[w]==1)//不是四位数,搜索过,不是素数,continue;
                        continue;
                    next.x=w;
                    next.step=a.step+1;
                    Q.push(next);
                    book[w]=1;
                }
            }
            q[i]=e;//恢复;
        }
    }
    return -1;
}

int main()
{
    scanf("%d",&t);
    init();
    while(t--)
    {
        int i,j;
        scanf("%d%d",&aa,&bb);
        int kk=bfs();
        if(kk==-1)
            printf("Impossible\n");
        else
            printf("%d\n",kk);
    }
    return 0;
}
