[LeetCode] 773. Sliding Puzzle 滑动拼图
On a 2x3 board, there are 5 tiles represented by the integers 1 through 5, and an empty square represented by 0.
A move consists of choosing 0 and a 4-directionally adjacent number and swapping it.
The state of the board is solved if and only if the board is [[1,2,3],[4,5,0]].
Given a puzzle board, return the least number of moves required so that the state of the board is solved. If it is impossible for the state of the board to be solved, return -1.
Examples:
Input: board = [[1,2,3],[4,0,5]] Output: 1 Explanation: Swap the 0 and the 5 in one move.
Input: board = [[1,2,3],[5,4,0]] Output: -1 Explanation: No number of moves will make the board solved.
Input: board = [[4,1,2],[5,0,3]] Output: 5 Explanation: 5 is the smallest number of moves that solves the board. An example path: After move 0: [[4,1,2],[5,0,3]] After move 1: [[4,1,2],[0,5,3]] After move 2: [[0,1,2],[4,5,3]] After move 3: [[1,0,2],[4,5,3]] After move 4: [[1,2,0],[4,5,3]] After move 5: [[1,2,3],[4,5,0]]
Input: board = [[3,2,4],[1,5,0]] Output: 14
Note:
boardwill be a 2 x 3 array as described above.board[i][j]will be a permutation of[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5].
给定2行3列的矩阵board，包含数字0 - 5，求将其恢复为[[1,2,3],[4,5,0]]的状态最少需要移动多少次。
拼图问题，其实就是八数码问题，给定一个可移动的数字，该数字每次只能朝四个方向移动，问最少经过多少次移动能够完成拼图（给定的序列）。刚开始看到的时候完全没思路，后来想到了用BFS来解，BFS相当于一种暴力搜索，每次去搜索所有可能的结果（对本题来说就是三个方向），直到满足条件或退出。事实上看了一些博客了解到更好的解法是A*，这里先不考虑A*，在后面的寻路算法的实现中会写A*的实现。关于BFS的实现，自我感觉自己的写法应该是比较优秀的写法，相对于网上的很多实现来讲，更加简洁，也符合C++的标准。

Queue<String> q = new LinkedList<>(Arrays.asList(s));
seen.add(s); // add initial state to set.
int ans = 0; // record the # of rounds of Breadth Search
while (!q.isEmpty()) { // Not traverse all states yet?
// loop used to control search breadth.
for (int sz = q.size(); sz > 0; --sz) {
