NO PLAGIARISM

CHEGG REMOVED THE COMMENT SECTION SO I CAN'T COMMENT.

PLEASE MAKE SURE THE FULL CODE IS UPLOADED IN HERE. This is my 6th time uploading this question. Every time I can only see the half code submitted by the expert.

GIVEN GOAL AND START TEXTS ARE JUST EXAMPLES. CODE MUST RUN FOR DIFFERENT START AND GOAL TEXTS FILES

Your task is to build an agent to solve a modified version of the 8 puzzle problem (called the Expense 8 puzzle problem). The task is still to take a 3X3 grid on which 8 tiles have been placed, where you can only move one tile at a time to an adjacent location (as long as it is blank) and figure out the order in which to move the tiles to get it to a desired configuration. However now the number on the tile now also represents the cost of moving that tile (moving the tile marked 6 costs 6). Your program should be called expense_8_puzzle and the command line invocation should follow the following format: expense_8_puzzle.py

and are required.

can be

bfs - Breadth-First Search

ucs - Uniform Cost Search

dfs - Depth First Search

dls - Depth Limited Search (Note: Depth Limit will be obtained as a Console Input)

ids - Iterative Deepening Search

greedy - Greedy Seach

a* - A* Search (Note: if no is given, this should be the default option)

If is given as true, search trace is dumped for analysis in trace--.txt (Note: if is not given, assume it is false)

search trace contains: fringe and closed set contents per loop of search(and per iteration for IDS), counts of nodes expanded and nodes

Both start file and goal file need to follow the format as shown here:

Sample Start file:

2 3 6 1 0 7 4 8 5 END OF FILE

Sample Goal file

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 0 END OF FILE

Your output needs to follow the format given in the example here: For: expense_8_puzzle.py start.txt goal.txt a* true The output should appear as follows: Nodes Popped: 97 Nodes Expanded: 64 Nodes Generated: 173 Max Fringe Size: 77 Solution Found at depth 12 with cost of 63. Steps: Move 7 Left Move 5 Up Move 8 Right Move 7 Down Move 5 Left Move 6 Down Move 3 Right Move 2 Right Move 1 Up Move 4 Up Move 7 Left Move 8 Left In additon, the seach trace should have all the information contained in the file given here. (The format is not important, the information is) Note: for both greedy and A* search you need to come up with a acceptable heuristic (Hint: Consider a modified version of h2 as discussed in class) Note: Implementing DLS and IDS is required
