# attempt to solve the dinesman Multiple Dwelling problem #
# SETUP #
# special floor values #
INT top floor = 4;
INT bottom floor = 0;
# mode to specify the persons floor constraint #
MODE PERSON = STRUCT( STRING name, REF INT floor, PROC( INT )BOOL ok );
# yields TRUE if the floor of the specified person is OK, FALSE otherwise #
OP OK = ( PERSON p )BOOL: ( ok OF p )( floor OF p );
# yields TRUE if floor is adjacent to other persons floor, FALSE otherwise #
PROC adjacent = ( INT floor, other persons floor )BOOL: floor >= ( other persons floor - 1 ) AND floor <= ( other persons floor + 1 );
# displays the floor of an occupant #
PROC print floor = ( PERSON occupant )VOID: print( ( whole( floor OF occupant, -1 ), " ", name OF occupant, newline ) );
# PROBLEM STATEMENT #
# the inhabitants with their floor and constraints #
PERSON baker = ( "Baker", LOC INT := 0, ( INT floor )BOOL: floor /= top floor );
PERSON cooper = ( "Cooper", LOC INT := 0, ( INT floor )BOOL: floor /= bottom floor );
PERSON fletcher = ( "Fletcher", LOC INT := 0, ( INT floor )BOOL: floor /= top floor AND floor /= bottom floor
AND NOT adjacent( floor, floor OF cooper ) );
PERSON miller = ( "Miller", LOC INT := 0, ( INT floor )BOOL: floor > floor OF cooper );
PERSON smith = ( "Smith", LOC INT := 0, ( INT floor )BOOL: NOT adjacent( floor, floor OF fletcher ) );
# SOLUTION #
# "brute force" solution - we run through the possible 5^5 configurations #
# we cold optimise this by e.g. restricting f to bottom floor + 1 TO top floor - 1 #
# at the cost of reducing the flexibility of the constraints #
# alternatively, we could add minimum and maximum allowed floors to the PERSON #
# STRUCT and loop through these instead of bottom floor TO top floor #
FOR b FROM bottom floor TO top floor DO

FOR m FROM bottom floor TO top floor DO
