Output

**Explanation of the Original Recursive Function** The given function, `solve_dp`, appears to be solving a dynamic programming problem. It takes three parameters: * `graph`: a list of numbers representing a graph * `lines_left`: an integer representing the number of lines left to process * `distance_since_last`: an integer representing the distance since the last line was taken The function returns a tuple containing two values: * The minimum cost (or value) that can be achieved by processing the remaining lines * A list of indices representing the lines that were taken to achieve the minimum cost The function uses recursion to explore two options: 1. Not taking the current line: If the distance since the last line was taken is less than 10, the function recursively calls itself with the next line in the graph and increments the distance since the last line was taken. 2. Taking the current line: If there are lines left to process, the function recursively calls itself with the next line in the graph, decrements the number of lines left, and resets the distance since the last line was taken to 0. The cost of taking the current line is calculated as the value of the current line plus the square of the difference between the distance since the last line was taken and 8. The function uses memoization through the `@lru_cache` decorator to avoid redundant computations. **Iterative Version of the Function** To convert the recursive function to an iterative one, we can use a stack to store the states to be processed. Here is the iterative version of the function:

    return min_cost, min_how
The iterative function uses a stack to store the states to be processed. Each state is represented by a tuple containing the current graph, the number of lines left, the distance since the last line was taken, the current cost, and the list of indices of the lines taken. The function iteratively pops states from the stack and processes them. If the current state represents a solution (i.e., there are no lines left to process and the graph is empty), it updates the minimum cost and the list of indices of the lines taken if the current cost is less than the minimum cost. The function then explores the two options: 1. Not taking the current line: If the distance since the last line was taken is less than 10, it pushes a new state onto the stack with the next line in the graph and increments the distance since the last line was taken. 2. Taking the current line: If there are lines left to process, it pushes a new state onto the stack with the next line in the graph, decrements the number of lines left, resets the distance since the last line was taken to 0, and updates the cost and the list of indices of the lines taken. The function returns the minimum cost and the list of indices of the lines taken. **Example Usage** You can use the iterative function in the same way as the original recursive function: 
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
graph = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
lines_left = 3
distance_since_last = 0

min_cost, min_how = solve_iterative(graph, lines_left, distance_since_last)
print("Minimum cost:", min_cost)
print("Lines taken:", min_how)
Note that the iterative function should be faster than the original recursive function because it avoids the overhead of recursive function calls. However, the time complexity of the iterative function is still cubic due to the use of a stack to store the states to be processed.
