I'll explain each part step-by-step. **1. `import itertools`** - This line imports the `itertools` module. The `itertools` module provides tools for working with iterators, and in this case, we use it to generate all possible permutations (orderings) of cities. Permutations are crucial because TSP requires finding the shortest route that visits each city exactly once and returns to the starting point. **2. `def calculate_distance(city1, city2):`** - This defines a function called `calculate_distance`. It takes two arguments: `city1` and `city2`. Each argument is expected to be a tuple representing the (x, y) coordinates of a city on a 2D plane. - `return ((city1[0] - city2[0])**2 + (city1[1] - city2[1])**2)**0.5` - This line calculates the Euclidean distance between two cities using the Pythagorean theorem. It finds the difference in x-coordinates, squares it, adds the squared difference in y-coordinates, and then takes the square root of the sum. **3. `def traveling_salesman(cities):`** - This defines the core function that solves the TSP. It takes a list of `cities` as input (where each city is represented by its x,y coordinates). - `best_route = None` - Initializes a variable `best_route` to `None`. This will store the best route found so far. - `shortest_distance = float('inf')` - Initializes a variable `shortest_distance` to positive infinity (`float('inf')`). This ensures that any valid route's distance will be less than the initial value, allowing us to find the shortest one. - `for route in itertools.permutations(cities):` - This is the heart of the algorithm. It iterates through all possible orderings (permutations) of the cities using `itertools.permutations()`. For example, if you have 3 cities [A, B, C], it will generate: - [A, B, C] - [A, C, B] - [B, A, C] - [B, C, A] - [C, A, B] - [C, B, A] - `total_distance = 0` - Resets the total distance for each route. - `for i in range(len(route) - 1):` - This loop calculates the total distance of a given route by summing up the distances between consecutive cities in the route. - `total_distance += calculate_distance(route[i], route[i+1])` - Calculates the distance between city `i` and the next city (`i+1`) using the `calculate_distance` function, and adds it to `total_distance`. - `total_distance += calculate_distance(route[-1], route[0]) # Return to starting city` - After visiting all cities in the route, this line calculates the distance from the last city (`route[-1]`) back to the first city (`route[0]`), completing the cycle. - `if total_distance < shortest_distance:` - This checks if the current route's total distance is shorter than the shortest distance found so far. - `shortest_distance = total_distance` - If the current route is shorter, update `shortest_distance`. - `best_route = route` - Also update `best_route` to store the current route as the best one. - `return best_route, shortest_distance` - After checking all possible routes, the function returns the `best_route` (the order of cities that gives the shortest distance) and the corresponding `shortest_distance`. **4. `if __name__ == '__main__':`** - This is a standard Python construct. The code inside this block only runs when the script is executed directly (not when it's imported as a module into another script). - `cities = [(0, 0), (1, 5), (5, 3), (6, 7), (8, 2)]` - Defines a list of cities. Each city is represented by its x and y coordinates in a tuple. This is your example set of cities to solve the TSP for. - `best_route, shortest_distance = traveling_salesman(cities)` - Calls the `traveling_salesman` function with the list of cities and stores the returned best route and shortest distance into variables. - `print("Best Route:", best_route)` - Prints the order of cities in the best route found. - `print("Shortest Distance:", shortest_distance)` - Prints the total distance of the best route. **In Summary:** The code implements a brute-force approach to solving the Traveling Salesperson Problem. It generates all possible routes, calculates the total distance for each route, and keeps track of the route with the shortest distance. This method is simple to understand but becomes computationally expensive very quickly as the number of cities increases (because the number of permutations grows factorially). For larger numbers of cities, more sophisticated algorithms like dynamic programming or heuristics are needed.
