Little useless-useful R functions – Jug solver with Bezout’s Identity
Read OriginalThis article presents a playful R function that solves the classic water jug problem, here adapted to splitting beer between giraffes. It explains the mathematical foundation using Bezout's Identity and greatest common divisor, then implements a Breadth-First Search (BFS) algorithm to find the sequence of pours from a 16L jug to two 8L jugs using 11L and 7L empty jugs. The code is provided along with the solution steps and a link to the GitHub repository. The article is a technical tutorial focused on algorithmic problem-solving in R, making it relevant to IT/technology topics like programming, algorithms, and data structures.
