Question

We are supposed to debug this program:

http://pastebin.com/kqziUa5V

so that when given this input:

http://pastebin.com/pSBswK3z

the output would be:

The tour 1 9 10 5 6 7 3 2 4 8 1 costs 2000

The purpose of this assignment was to show our skills using GDB debugger to find and correct the problem. I've realized that the best_cost value does not get passed into the permute_list call on line 49, so that the comparison on line 68 never works because best_cost is always 0 when that if statement is called. I haven't been able to come up with a solution that works.

Explanation / Answer

The first error is that the best_cost is redefined under main, so in the function it uses the global value, inside main the local value. So remove the best_cost decl in main. Thats not the only issue. Repost the problem I will get back to you.
