Task
Cut a rectangle
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

A given rectangle is made from m × n squares. If m and n are not both odd, then it is possible to cut a path through the rectangle along the square edges such that the rectangle splits into two connected pieces with the same shape (after rotating one of the pieces by 180°). All such paths for 2 × 2 and 4 × 3 rectangles are shown below.

Write a program that calculates the number of different ways to cut an m × n rectangle. Optionally, show each of the cuts.

Possibly related task: Maze generation for depth-first search.

C

Exhaustive search on the cutting path. Symmetric configurations are only calculated once, which helps with larger sized grids. <lang c>#include <stdio.h>

J

<lang j>init=: - {. 1: NB. initial state: 1 square choosen prop=: < {:,~2 ~:/\ ] NB. propagate: neighboring squares (vertically) poss=: I.@,@(prop +. prop"1 +. prop&.|. +. prop&.|."1) keep=: poss -. <:@#@, - I.@, NB. symmetrically valid possibilities N=: <:@-:@#@, NB. how many neighbors to add step=: [: ~.@; <@(((= i.@$) +. ])"0 _~ keep)"2 all=: step^:N@init</lang>

In other words, starting with a boolean matrix with one true square in one corner, make a list of all false squares which neighbor a true square, and then make each of those neighbors true, independently (discarding duplicate matrices from the resulting sequence of boolean matrices), and repeat this N times where N is (total cells divided by two)-1. Then discard those matrices where inverting them (boolean not), then flipping on horizontal and vertical axis is not an identity.

(In other words, this implementation uses a breadth first search -- breadth first searches tend to be natural in J because of the parallelism they offer.)

optimized

This version replaced the (first) multiple clause   if   instructions in the   walk   subroutine with a
short circuit version.   Other optimizations were also made.   This made the program about   20%   faster.

A test run was executed to determine the order of the   if   statements   (by counting which
comparison would yield the most benefit by placing it first).

Also, I've discovered a formula for calculating the number of cuts for even   M   when   N   is   3. <lang rexx>/*REXX program cuts rectangles into two symmetric pieces, the rectangles are cut along */ /*────────────────────────────────────────────────── unit dimensions and may be rotated.*/ numeric digits 20 /*be able to handle some big integers. */ parse arg m . /*obtain optional argument from the CL.*/ if m== | m=="," then m= 9 /*Not specified?

}</lang> Note the funkiness in walk: vm.pasteArgs. This is because zkl functions are unaware of their scope, so a closure is needed (when calling walk) to capture state (nxt, blen, grid, h, w). Rather than creating a closure object each call, that state is passed in the arg list. So, when doing recursion, that state needs to be restored to the stack (the compiler isn't smart enough to recognize this case). <lang zkl>foreach w,h in ([1..9],[1..w]){

  if((w*h).isEven) println("%d x %d: %d".fmt(w, h, cut_it(w,h)));
