class State.State(board, parentstate, depth, fvalue=0)

Bases: object

This class represents the state of the game.

Parameters

• board (Board.Board) – the actual board that belongs to this state

• parentstate (State.State) – the State that the current State came from after applying a legal move

• depth (int) – the depth of the current state (number of moves made)

• f-value (int, optional) – the priority order of the state; some heuristic function of the state. Defaults to 0

Attributes

• :board (Board.Board): number of rows

• :parentstate (State.State) the State prior to current state

• depth (int)

  depth of state

• fvalue (int)

  priorty order of the state. The value of some heuristic function. Defaults to 0

printPath()

A function to print a complated path from the initial state to the solution state. This function calls print() statements directly, rather than returning a string.
