java – 递归回溯何时适用？

作业要求

int solve() — tries to solve the puzzle using the strategy described above. Returns the number of solutions.

(上述策略)

When assigning a number to a spot,never assign a number that,at that moment,conflicts with the spot’s row,column,or square. We are up-front careful about assigning legal numbers to a spot,rather than assigning any number 1..9 and finding the problem later in the recursion. Assume that the initial grid is all legal,and make only legal spot assignments thereafter.

心理思想

我可以迭代地跟随一个小的输入.例如,说我必须未解决的单元格#1和单元#2. #1有可能{1,3}和#2有可能{2,3}.我会的

set 1 to 1
    set 2 to 2
        hasConflicts? 0 : 1
    set 2 to 3
        hasConflicts? 0 : 1
set 1 to 3
    set 2 to 2
        hasConflicts? 0 : 1
    set 2 to 3
        hasConflicts? 0 : 1

实际代码

public int solve() {
    long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
    int result = 0;

    if (!hasConflicts()) {
        Queue<VariableCell> unsolved = getUnsolved();
        reduceUnsolvedPossibilities(unsolved);  // Gets the possibilities down from all of 1-9

        if (!hasConflicts()) {
            result = solveRec(unsolved);
        }
    }

    mElapsedTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
    return result;
}

protected int solveRec(Queue<VariableCell> unsolved) {
    if (unsolved.isEmpty()) {
        return (hasConflicts()) ? 0 : 1;
    }

    int result = 0;
    VariableCell cell = unsolved.remove();
    Iterator<String> possibilityIt = cell.getPossibilities().iterator();

    while (possibilityIt.hasNext()) {
        cell.setSymbol(possibilityIt.next());

        if (hasConflicts()) {
            possibilityIt.remove();
        } else {
            ++result;
        }
    }

    return result + solveRec(unsolved);
}

检测结果

testSolveSingleSolution
    expected 1,actual 1

testSolveSolved
    expected 1,actual 1

testSolveUnsolvable
    expected 0,actual 0

testSolveMultiSolutions
    expected 2,actual 7  // MAJOR PROBLEM!

题

我之前已经进行了递归回溯,我已经看过上面的所有链接,我仍然有麻烦.我认为问题在于我如何解决这个问题. (参见Psudeocode Idea.)是否适合使用递归回溯进行详尽的搜索？追溯权是否正确执行错误？我可以使用比递归回溯更好的算法吗？先谢谢了！
