Given a puzzle board, return the least number of moves required so that the state of the board is solved. If it is impossible for the state of the board to be solved, return -1. Examples: Input: board = 1,2,3,4,0,5 Output: 1 Explanation: Swap the 0 and the 5 in one move. That’s all there is to the Slide Puzzle program! But let’s talk about some general programming concepts that came up in this game. Memory Tradeoffs. Of course, there are a few different ways to write the Slide Puzzle game so that it looks and acts the exact same way even though the code is different. Learn and code with the best industry experts. Print first m multiples of a m number without using any loops in Python. Examples: Input: n = 2. 15 Puzzle Game This game is the 15 Puzzle Game. In this game, there is a 4.4 board with 15 numbers and an empty square. The numbers are then shuffled randomly. The goal of the game is to move the numbers in such a way that the numbers are ordered again as shown in the picture below. The rules are simple. You can only move tiles into the empty.

Time for a script again, this one will geolocate an IP address based on input from the user. For this script, we will be using a bunch of Python modules to accomplish this.

This script will ask the user for its username, by using the raw_input function. Then a list of allowed users is created named user1 and user2. The control statement checks if the input from the user matches the ones that are in the allowed users list.
