Calculating single-digit summands

C

Christer Nilsson

Would you like to add some asserts, so I can figure out the
specification?

How is the data entered?

This is a newer algorithm which works much more faster.

def sum (arr)
# sorry James Edward Gray II, but I'm not using an enum.
i = 0
arr.each do |k| i += k end
i
end

def arr (depth, min=1, max=10-depth,t=[], arr=[])
(min..max).each do |i|
t[depth-1] = i if depth > 0
arr(depth-1, i+1, max+1, t, arr) if depth > 1
arr << t.reverse.clone if depth == 1
end

arr
end

def calc (number, depth)
arri = arr(depth)

arri.each do |a|
arri.delete_if { |a| sum(a) != number }
end

arri
end

# examples
calc(24, 3).each do |a| print "#{a} - " end puts
calc(24, 4).each do |a| print "#{a} - " end puts
# even summands of 45 can be calculated now. It was impossible with the
older algorithm.
calc(45, 9).each do |a| print "#{a} - " end puts

Corrections:

# examples
calc(24, 3).each do |a| print "#{a} - " end; puts
calc(24, 4).each do |a| print "#{a} - " end; puts
# even summands of 45 can be calculated now. It was impossible with the
older algorithm.
calc(45, 9).each do |a| print "#{a} - " end; puts

You don't think so? Let's ask Ruby...
Array.ancestors.find { |par| par.to_s =~ /enum/i } => Enumerable
arr = Array.new => []
arr.is_a? Enumerable => true
arr.respond_to? :inject
=> true

Ruby thinks so. Let's try a sum:
arr = (1..10).to_a => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
arr.inject { |sum, n| sum + n }
=> 55

Looks good to me.
arri.each do |a|
arri.delete_if { |a| sum(a) != number }
end

The whole point of delete_if() is that you don't need the each().
Try taking it out. ;)

Since only single digit summands are under consideration, I don't think
optimizations are important for this. Here's a simple brute force
approach that performs reasonably well. It considers all possible
subsets of [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9] and rejects any with the wrong depth or
sum. For this solution I reused the powerset method I wrote for a recent
Ruby Quiz.




class Array

def sum
inject { |sum,x| sum += x }
end

def powerset
for element_map in 0...(1 << self.length) do
subset = []
each_with_index do |element, index|
subset << element if element_map[index] == 1
end
yield subset
end
end

end

def calc(number, depth)
puts "number = #{number}, depth = #{depth}"
candidates = (1..9).inject([]) { |a,x| a << x }
candidates.powerset { |subset|
next unless subset.length == depth
next unless subset.sum == number
p subset
}
end

# examples
(3..5).each { |depth|
(10..20).each { |target| calc(target, depth) }
}

draq,

Array mixes in Enumerable, so inject works.

I added some asserts to be able to understand what your code does.
As I can see, this solves only a partial problem: generating all
combinations, given a sum and number of squares. This is calc(sum,
count).
Next step would probably be intersection(sum1, count1, sum2, count2)
between a row and a column, listing the possible combinations.

Curiousity: The list for arr(2) below, was too long. So I decided to cut
it by writing a method for Array. Then I found it's already defined!
First accepts zero or one argument.

Defining a kakuro, so a program can solve it, seems to be a lot more
hassle than defining a sudoku.

Christer

def sum (arr) arr.inject { |sum,i| sum += i } end

def arr (depth, min=1, max=10-depth,t=[], arr=[])
(min..max).each do |i|
t[depth-1] = i if depth > 0
arr(depth-1, i+1, max+1, t, arr) if depth > 1
arr << t.reverse.clone if depth == 1
end
arr
end

def calc (number, depth)
arri = arr(depth)
arri.each do |a|
arri.delete_if { |a| sum(a) != number }
end
arri
end

require 'test/unit'
class TestKakuro < Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_all
assert_equal 12, sum([3,4,5])
assert_equal [[1, 2], [1, 3], [1, 4], [1, 5], [1, 6],
[1, 7], [1, 8], [1, 9], [2, 3], [2, 4]],
arr(2).first(10)
assert_equal 9, arr(1).size
assert_equal 36, arr(2).size
assert_equal 84, arr(3).size
assert_equal 126, arr(4).size
assert_equal 126, arr(5).size
assert_equal 84, arr(6).size
assert_equal 36, arr(7).size
assert_equal 9, arr(8).size
assert_equal 1, arr(9).size

assert_equal [[7, 8, 9]], calc(24,3)
assert_equal [[1, 6, 8, 9],[2, 5, 8, 9],
[2, 6, 7, 9],[3, 4, 8, 9],
[3, 5, 7, 9],[3, 6, 7, 8],
[4, 5, 6, 9],[4, 5, 7, 8]], calc(24, 4)
assert_equal [[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]], calc(45, 9)
end
end

Hello Christer,

I don't see the problem. The list of arr(2) seems to be right. The
numbers are [1,2] - [1,3] - [1,4] - [1,5] - [1,6] - [1,7] - [1,8] -
[1,9] - [2,3] - [2,4] - [2,5] - [2,6] - [2,7] - [2,8] - [2,9] - [3,4] -
[3,5] - [3,6] - [3,7] - [3,8] - [3,9] - [4,5] - [4,6] - [4,7] - [4,8] -
[4,9] - [5,6] - [5,7] - [5,8] - [5,9] - [6,7] - [6,8] - [6,9] - [7,8] -
[7,9] - [8,9].

I beg pardon for my lousy comments. I've tried to improve. You'll find
the newest code at
http://secam.blogspot.com/2005/12/solving-kakuro-part-iii.html
Hopefully it's now better understandable.

draq,

I was using first(10) to keep the output short.
Your code is working. Sorry about being unclear.
