See the Breadth First Search code below

Now see the graph below

Q1: Apply this code on the given graph and show the values of all the variables, in
the form of a table, in the code for each iteration until the goal is found.
Solution:
I. Declaring a graph at the end in the above code.

graph = {
0: [1, 7, 6], # where A-0 , B-1 , C-2 , D-3 , E-4 , F-5 , G-6 , H-7
1: [7, 0, 2],
2: [1, 3],
3: [2, 5, 4],
4: [3, 5, 6],
5: [1, 3, 4],
6: [0, 3, 4],
7: [0, 1],
}

II. Now calling the function as initial node is “A” and your goal node is “E”.

bfs(0, 4, graph)

III. To print values of all the variables in the form of table we use the following lines in
the given code.

The output in the form of table is [0, 1, 4 ,5]

Here is the table showing the traversal order of executing Depth First Search (DFS) algorithm on
the given graph:

# where A-0 , B-1 , C-2 , D-3 , E-4 , F-5 , G-6 , H-7

The traversal order of executing Depth First Search (DFS) algorithm in alphabetical order from
node 0 to node 4 is: 0 -> 1 -> 7 -> 2 -> 3 -> 5 -> 4.
Question # 02:

Execute the python code for A* Search algorithm and provide the results.

Solution:
A* search algorithm can be used to find the most cost-effective path in a graph. Consider the
following graph below.

The numbers written on edges represent the distance between the nodes, while the numbers
written on nodes represent the heuristic values. Let us find the most cost-effective path to reach
from start state A to final state G using the A* Algorithm.
Let’s start with node A. Since A is a starting node, therefore, the value of g(x) for A is zero, and
from the graph, we get the heuristic value of A is 11, therefore 
g(x) + h(x) = f(x)
0+ 11 =11
Thus for A, we can write
A=11
Now from A, we can go to point B or point E, so we compute f(x) for each of them
A→B=2+6=8
A→E=3+6=9
Since the cost for A → B is less, we move forward with this path and compute the f(x) for the
children nodes of B
Since there is no path between C and G, the heuristic cost is set to infinity or a very high value
A → B → C = (2 + 1) + 99= 102
A → B → G = (2 + 9 ) + 0 = 11
Here the path A → B → G has the least cost but it is still more than the cost of A → E, thus we
explore this path further
A → E → D = (3 + 6) + 1 = 10
Comparing the cost of A → E → D with all the paths we got so far and as this cost is least of all
we move forward with this path. And compute the f(x) for the children of D
A → E → D → G = (3 + 6 + 1) +0 =10
Now comparing all the paths that lead us to the goal, we conclude that A → E → D → G is the
most cost-effective path to get from A to G.

Question # 03:

Alpha–beta pruning is a search algorithm that seeks to decrease the number of

Solution:
We will apply Alpha Beta Pruning Algorithm on following example:

 Step # 01:

We will first start with the initial move. We will initially define the alpha and beta values as the
worst case i.e. α = -∞ and β= +∞. We will prune the node only when alpha becomes greater than
or equal to beta.
 Step # 02:

Since the initial value of alpha is less than beta so we didn’t prune it. Now it’s turn for MAX. So,
at node D, value of alpha will be calculated. The value of alpha at node D will be max (2, 3). So,
value of alpha at node D will be 3.
 Step # 03:

Now the next move will be on node B and its turn for MIN now. So, at node B, the value of
alpha beta will be min (3, ∞). So, at node B values will be alpha= – ∞ and beta will be 3.

In the next step, algorithms traverse the next successor of Node B which is node E, and the
values of α= -∞, and β= 3 will also be passed.
 Step # 04:

Now it’s turn for MAX. So, at node E we will look for MAX. The current value of alpha at E is –
∞ and it will be compared with 5. So, MAX (- ∞, 5) will be 5. So, at node E, alpha = 5, Beta = 5.
Now as we can see that alpha is greater than beta which is satisfying the pruning condition so we
can prune the right successor of node E and algorithm will not be traversed and the value at node
E will be 5.

 Step # 05:

In the next step the algorithm again comes to node A from node B. At node A alpha will be
changed to maximum value as MAX (- ∞, 3). So now the value of alpha and beta at node A will
be (3, + ∞) respectively and will be transferred to node C. These same values will be transferred
to node F.
 Step # 06:

At node F the value of alpha will be compared to the left branch which is 0. So, MAX (0, 3) will
be 3 and then compared with the right child which is 1, and MAX (3,1) = 3 still α remains 3, but
the node value of F will become 1.

 Step # 07:

Now node F will return the node value 1 to C and will compare to beta value at C. Now its turn
for MIN. So, MIN (+ ∞, 1) will be 1. Now at node C, α= 3, and β= 1 and alpha is greater than
beta which again satisfies the pruning condition. So, the next successor of node C i.e. G will be
pruned and the algorithm didn’t compute the entire subtree G.

 Step # 08:

Now, C will return the node value to A and the best value of A will be MAX (1, 3) will be 3.

The above represented tree is the final tree which is showing the nodes which are computed and
the nodes which are not computed. So, for this example the optimal value of the maximizer will
be 3.
