Tower of Hanoi Program in C#

This is a C# Program to demonstrate tower of hanoi.

This C# Program uses recursive function & solves the tower of hanoi.

The tower of hanoi is a mathematical puzzle. It consists of three rods and a number of disks of different sizes which can slide onto any rod. The puzzle starts with the disks in a neat stack in ascending order of size on one rod, the smallest at the top. We have to obtain the same stack on the third rod.

Here is source code of the C# Program to Demonstrate Tower Of Hanoi. The C# program is successfully compiled and executed with Microsoft Visual Studio. The program output is also shown below.

        Console.Write("Enter the number of discs: ");
        cnumdiscs = Console.ReadLine();
        T.numdiscs = Convert.ToInt32(cnumdiscs);
        T.movetower(T.numdiscs, 1, 3, 2);
        Console.ReadLine();
        return 0;
    }
}

In this C# Program, we are reading the number of discs using ‘cnumdiscs’ variable. Perform the movetower() function by passing ‘numdiscs’, 1, 3, 2 variable values as an argument.

We are reading the number of discs using ‘cnumdiscs’ variable. Perform the movetower() function by passing the numdiscs, 1, 3, 2 variable values as an argument. Using if condition statement check the condition the value of ‘n’ variable is greater than 0. If the condition is true then execute the statement by moving the discs recursively.

 
Enter the Number of Disks : 2
Move Disk 1 from Tower 1 to Tower 2
Move Disk 1 from Tower 1 to Tower 3
Move Disk 1 from Tower 2 to Tower 3
