/* hanoi.c: solves the tower of hanoi problem. (Programming exercise.) */
|
|
/* By Terry R. McConnell (12/2/97) */
|
|
/* Compile: cc -o hanoi hanoi.c */
|
|
|
|
/* This program does no error checking. But then, if it's right,
|
|
it's right ... right ? */

|
/* The original towers of hanoi problem seems to have been originally posed
|
|
by one M. Claus in 1883. There is a popular legend that goes along with
|
|
it that has been often repeated and paraphrased. It goes something like this:
|
|
In the great temple at Benares there are 3 golden spikes. On one of them,
|
|
God placed 64 disks increasing in size from bottom to top, at the beginning
|
|
of time. Since then, and to this day, the priest on duty constantly transfers
|
|
disks, one at a time, in such a way that no larger disk is ever put on top
|
|
of a smaller one. When the disks have been transferred entirely to another
|
|
spike the Universe will come to an end in a large thunderclap.
|
|
|
|
This paraphrases the original legend due to DeParville, La Nature, Paris 1884,
|
|
Part I, 285-286. For this and further information see: Mathematical
|
|
Recreations & Essays, W.W. Rouse Ball, MacMillan, NewYork, 11th Ed. 1967,
|
|
303-305.
