Water Jug Problem Artificial Intelligence
/* Water Jug Problem
This problem is basically asking you to perform a Breadth First Search on
a directed graph. The nodes in the graph corresponds to a “state”, and
a state is basically a pair (n, m) where n and m are the volume of water
in the jugs. There’s an edge from (n, m) to (n1, m1) if a valid operation
exists such that the result of the operation is (n1, m1).
The implementation for BFS is done by using queue. Also, a state (n, m)
is translated into an integer i for convenience.

These all are in build functions of C++. Please try below includes
