Tower of Hanoi (Tower of Hanoi)

Description

The Tower of Hanoi puzzle consists of $n$ discs, no two of the same size, stacked on $p \geq 3$ vertical pegs, in such a way that no disc lies on top of a smaller disc. A permissible $move$ is to take the top disc from one of the pegs and move it to one of the other pegs, as long as it is not placed on top of a smaller disc. Initially, they are all stacked on the first peg. The goal is to end up with them all stacked on the last peg.

Parameters

n: number of discs

p: number of pegs
