The government of a small but important country has decided that the alphabet needs to be streamlined and reordered. Uppercase letters will be eliminated. They will issue a royal decree in the form of a String of B and A characters. The first character in the decree specifies whether a must come ( B )Before b in the new alphabet or ( A )After b . The second character determines the relative placement of b and c , etc. So, for example, "BAA" means that a must come Before b , b must come After c , and c must come After d .
Any letters beyond these requirements are to be excluded, so if the decree specifies k comparisons then the new alphabet will contain the first k+1 lowercase letters of the current alphabet.
Create a class Alphabet that contains the method choices that takes the decree as input and returns the number of possible new alphabets that conform to the decree. If more than 1,000,000,000 are possible, return -1.

Implemented BFS, DFS and A*
To compile this project, use the following command:
g++ -o search main.cpp
Then you can run it:
./search
The input is loaded from a input file in.txt
Here is the format of the input file:
The first line of the input file shoud contain two chars indicate the source and destination city for breadth first and depth first algorithm.
The second line of input file shoud be an integer m indicate the number of connections for the map.
Following m lines describe the map, each line represents to one connection in this form: dist city1 city2, which means there is a connection between city1 and city2 with the distance dist.
The following input are for A*
The following line contains two chars indicate the source and destination city for A* algorithm.
Then there is an integer h indicate the number of heuristic.
The following h lines is in the form: city dist which means the straight-line distance from the city to B is dist.
We have a group of N items (represented by integers from 1 to N), and we know that there is some total order defined for these items. You may assume that no two elements will be equal (for all a, b: a<b or b<a). However, it is expensive to compare two items. Your task is to make a number of comparisons, and then output the sorted order. The cost of determining if a < b is given by the bth integer of element a of costs (space delimited), which is the same as the ath integer of element b. Naturally, you will be judged on the total cost of the comparisons you make before outputting the sorted order. If your order is incorrect, you will receive a 0. Otherwise, your score will be opt/cost, where opt is the best cost anyone has achieved and cost is the total cost of the comparisons you make (so your score for a test case will be between 0 and 1). Your score for the problem will simply be the sum of your scores for the individual test cases.
The Lite Evaluation/Demonstration Kit is intended to illustrate use of the
AN3042. The AN3042 is compliant to the PCI 2.1 Local Bus specification.
Included in the kit is a PCI add-in card, Windows drivers, demonstration
applications, and documentation of the hardware and software provided. The
microprocessor used on the PCI add-in card is the Motorola MPC860. The
applications themselves serve as documentation on how to interface with the
drivers, and also may be used to test the AN3042 on the user s prototype board.
