fang 求 Water 的房间和 Zebra 的房间
分析
首先，每个房间有 5 个属性，加上上面的若干条件限制。
属性
color -- $red, $green, $ivory, $yellow, $blue
Nationality (国家) -- $Englishman, $Spaniard, $Ukrainian, $Norwegian, $Japanese
Drink -- $coffee, $tea, $milk, $oj, $WATER
Smoke -- $OldGold, $Kools, $Chesterfields, $LuckyStrike, $Parl 大专栏 斑马难题Step by Stepiaments
Pet -- $dog, $snail, $fox, $horse, $ZEBRA
需要在满足所有条件的情况下讲这五个属性分给五个房间，大概就是这么一个思路。 那么我们一共有 5! ** 5 种情况。
先将房间和这些属性都抽象成 1,2,3,4,5
这里拿第二个条件说，就是 Englishman == red，因为他们都属于一个房间的属性，所以值必然相等。
当然，还有 6 , 11 这种条件，我们只需要加上两个方法即可。
/**
* Determinate the right of relation.
*
* @param int $n
* @param int $m
*
* @return boolean
*/
function rightOf($n, $m) {
return $n == $m + 1;
}
/**
* Determinate the neighbouring relations
*
* @param int $n
* @param int $m
*
* @return boolean
*/
function nextTo($n, $m) {
return abs($n - $m) == 1;
}
