Task: City authorities decided to create environment friendly community. They cleaned an old park in the suburbs and now they will build houses in that park. They want each house to have a tree but also to keep it's privacy and not be too close to other houses. They created a blueprint but it got lost! All they have now is a table like the one bellow with numbers describing how many houses there are in the respective row or column. Help them enter the correct position of the houses in the grid on the right. The rules you must follow are:

  • Each house is attached to one tree (so there are as many houses as there are trees).

  • A house can only be found horizontally or vertically adjacent to a tree.

  • Houses are never adjacent to each other, neither vertically, horizontally, nor diagonally.

  • A tree might be next to two houses, but is only connected to one.

Background: matrices (two dimensional arrays)
