partial paths

Post by murali » Fri Jul 01, 2011 2:01 pm

CAN ANY ONE HELP
Write the function partialpaths, of two arguments. The
first argument is a list of lists, representing a graph(adjacency list
representation of a graph). The second argument is a partial path in the
reverse order, for example the path "from a to b to c" is represented by
the list (c b a). The function should return a list of sublists containing
all possible expansions of this partial path by one node.

For example:
(partialpaths '( (a b c) (b c d) (c d a) (d)) '(b a))
should return:
( (c b a) (d b a))

I'm tired now, lol. May I also suggest the #lisp IRC channel? It is very useful for real-time responses\help.

I'm not exactly sure what this code is supposed to be doing, could you elaborate on it a bit more?

i got some code like this

(define (partialpaths X Y)

(cond

((null? X) Y)

((member1 (car(car X)) Y) (partialpaths (cdr X) Y))

(#t (cons (car(car X)) Y))

)

)

(define (member1 X Y)

(cond

((null? X) #f)

((eq? Z (car X)) #t)

(#t (member1 Z (cdr X)))

)

)
but i am not sure this code by using lisp.

You want that code converted into Common Lisp code? To me it looks like it is currently in Racket, or a language much like that. Might I suggest a bit of formatting when you write lisp code. Do not have parenthesis alone on a line.

Don't do this:

Code: Select all

(defun hello ()
  (print "hello")
  )


Do this:

Code: Select all

(defun hello ()
  (print "hello"))
Makes it easier on the eyes.

define would be defun, the parameters are in their own brackets after the name, then the body, then the final end-function brackets.
null? would be null, #t => t, eq? => eq or eql or equal, and I think #f means false(?) which would be nil in CL.
