Solve the following blocks of word problem using the hill climbing
algorithm.

Answer:

To implement the Hill climbing algorithm, we need to follow a heuristic

function. The heuristic function we follow is Local function. It is described
as follows. Local function:
Add one point for every block that is resting on the thing it is supposed to be
resting on. Subtract one point for every block that is sitting on the wrong thing.

Here we are facing problem. As score in step 1 is same as score in step 0, the
Hill Climbing algorithm comes to halt. We define a new heuristic function
which is called Global function.
Global Function:

For each block that has the correct support structure (i.e. the complete structure
underneath it is exactly as it should be), add one point for every block in the
support structure. For each block that has an incorrect support structure,
subtract one point for every block in the existing support structure.
