River Crossing
' River crossing puzzle ' is the famous classic puzzle. (also known as Wolf, goat and cabbage problem )
|
summary:
|
This time, I will extend this puzzle a little.
The number of wolves, goat, cabbages and payload is arbitrary.
(see precondition)
You are given four integers as the number of wolves, goats, cabbages and payload of the boat. You have to return the minimum number of boat crossings required to carry all the loads. (If not possible, return None.)
NOTE:
- All loads can live together on the boat.
Example:
river_crossing(1, 1, 1, 1) == 7 # original river_crossing(1, 1, 1, 2) == 3 # payload +1 river_crossing(2, 1, 1, 2) == 5 # payload +1, wolf +1 river_crossing(1, 2, 1, 1) is None # impossible
