4. You will calculate the naive route here, so at every position, you will have two choices, to either move closer to the end point along a row, or along a column, and you will chose the position that costs the least at that point (you do not need to look ahead to see if the costlier route now will result in an overall cheaper route). 5. If two choices along the route have the exact same cost, you will choose the direction that comes first clockwise. For example, you will choose to move horizontally right before vertically down, vertically down before horizontally left, horizontally left before vertically up, and vertically up before horizontally right. Preconditions: the start and end points will be a valid position on the map. Tips to get started: since there is no guarantee where the start and end points will be in relation to each other, it may be easier to use your rotate function from last week to rotate the map such that the end point is always to the bottom right of the start point. That is, rotate the map such that start_point[0] end_point[0] and start_point[1] <= end_point[1]. Keep in mind that if you choose to rotate the map, the start and end point coordinates will change as well. If you choose to do it this way, then you can code your function to only consider moving horizontally right, or vertically down. Not rotating is fine as well, but you would have to consider moves in all 4 directions, depending on the start and end coordinates. If you choose to rotate the map, you may also find the crop function you implmented last week useful, as that will guarantee that the start and end points will be at corners of the map. >>> sample_map = [[1, 3], [0, 4]] >>> cost_to_hike_naive (sample_map, (0, 0), (1, 1)) 5 >>> cost_to_hike_naive (sample_map, (1, 1), (0, 0)) 3
