"""CSP (Constraint Satisfaction Problems) problems and solvers. (Chapter 5)."""
from __future__ import generators

class CSP(search.Problem):
"""This class describes finite-domain Constraint Satisfaction Problems.
A CSP is specified by the following three inputs:
vars A list of variables; each is atomic (e.g. int or string).
domains A dict of {var:[possible_value, ...]} entries.
neighbors A dict of {var:[var,...]} that for each variable lists
the other variables that participate in constraints.
constraints A function f(A, a, B, b) that returns true if neighbors
A, B satisfy the constraint when they have values A=a, B=b
In the textbook and in most mathematical definitions, the
constraints are specified as explicit pairs of allowable values,
but the formulation here is easier to express and more compact for
most cases. (For example, the n-Queens problem can be represented
in O(n) space using this notation, instead of O(N^4) for the
explicit representation.) In terms of describing the CSP as a
problem, that's all there is.
However, the class also supports data structures and methods that help you
solve CSPs by calling a search function on the CSP. Methods and slots are
as follows, where the argument 'a' represents an assignment, which is a
dict of {var:val} entries:
assign(var, val, a) Assign a[var] = val; do other bookkeeping
unassign(var, a) Do del a[var], plus other bookkeeping
nconflicts(var, val, a) Return the number of other variables that
conflict with var=val
curr_domains[var] Slot: remaining consistent values for var
Used by constraint propagation routines.
The following methods are used only by graph_search and tree_search:
succ() Return a list of (action, state) pairs
goal_test(a) Return true if all constraints satisfied
The following are just for debugging purposes:
nassigns Slot: tracks the number of assignments made
display(a) Print a human-readable representation

Suitable for large n, it uses only data structures of size O(n).
Think of placing queens one per column, from left to right.
That means position (x, y) represents (var, val) in the CSP.
The main structures are three arrays to count queens that could conflict:
rows[i] Number of queens in the ith row (i.e val == i)
downs[i] Number of queens in the \ diagonal
such that their (x, y) coordinates sum to i
ups[i] Number of queens in the / diagonal
such that their (x, y) coordinates have x-y+n-1 = i
We increment/decrement these counts each time a queen is placed/moved from
a row/diagonal. So moving is O(1), as is nconflicts. But choosing
a variable, and a best value for the variable, are each O(n).
If you want, you can keep track of conflicted vars, then variable
