[plt-scheme] problem with backtracking order of nested ambs
Hi all,
I have a problem with the backtracking order of nested ambs which
makes that I cannot get the result I need. I've made up a dummy example:
(let ((x (amb 3 5 4)))
(let ((result (amb (begin (assert (even? x)) x) 77)))
result))
I would need amb to first try all of '(3 5 4) and only after that,
take 77 as last possible way out.
In practice, I want to generate a list with amb, then check if every
item is unique, if not, try all other possible ways to compose the
list - and only there's no way to get it unique,
decide that "ok, nearly unique is fine too", such that 2 elements may
be the same, so try and assert that... and so on, until I can be sure
that at least the program will not fail,
not producing any results at all.
I'd be glad for any hints what I'm doing wrong here...
Thanks a lot in advance,
Sigrid
