Dsa Recursion Tower Of Hanoi

In this tutorial, you'll learn about How to Fix Tower of Hanoi Errors. We cover key concepts, practical examples, and best practices.

Fix tower of hanoi errors when disk movement order reversed or peg labeling wrong.

Quick Fix

Wrong

def hanoi(n,frm,to,aux):
    if n==1: print(f'Move {frm} to {to}'); return
    hanoi(n-1,frm,aux,to)
    print(f'Move {frm} to {to}')
    hanoi(n-1,aux,to,frm)

Common mistake: swapping aux and to in the second recursive call.

def hanoi(n,frm,to,aux):
    if n==0: return
    hanoi(n-1,frm,aux,to)
    print(f'Disk {n}: {frm} -> {to}')
    hanoi(n-1,aux,to,frm)
n=3 A->C -> moves: A->C, A->B, C->B, A->C, B->A, B->C, A->C. O(2^n).

Prevention

Move n-1 disks from source to auxiliary. Move nth disk from source to target. Move n-1 from aux to target.

FAQ

What is Tower of Hanoi?

Move disks from source to target using auxiliary peg. Larger disk never on smaller.

Recurrence?

T(n) = 2T(n-1) + 1 = 2^n - 1 moves.

Minimum moves?

2^n - 1 for n disks. Exponential. Only feasible for small n.
