To solve Cryptarithmetic Problem,a CSP(Constraint Satisfaction Problem) using Python
Input and OutputInput: This algorithm will take three words.
B A S E
B A L L
----------
G A M E S
Output: It will show which letter holds which number from 0 – 9. For this case it is like this.
B A S E 2 4 6 1
B A L L 2 4 5 5
--------- ---------
G A M E S 0 4 9 1 6
Algorithm
For this problem, we will define a node, which contains a letter and its corresponding values.
isValid(nodeList, count, word1, word2, word3)
Input − A list of nodes, the number of elements in the node list and three words.
Output − True if the sum of the value for word1 and word2 is same as word3 value.
Begin
m := 1
for each letter i from right to left of word1, do
ch := word1[i]
for all elements j in the nodeList, do
if nodeList[j].letter = ch, then
break
done
val1 := val1 + (m * nodeList[j].value)
m := m * 10
done
m := 1
for each letter i from right to left of word2, do
ch := word2[i]
for all elements j in the nodeList, do
if nodeList[j].letter = ch, then
break
done
val2 := val2 + (m * nodeList[j].value)
m := m * 10
done
m := 1
for each letter i from right to left of word3, do
ch := word3[i]
for all elements j in the nodeList, do
if nodeList[j].letter = ch, then
break
done
val3 := val3 + (m * nodeList[j].value)
m := m * 10
done
if val3 = (val1 + val2), then
return true
return false
