Python Program for Tower of Hanoi

Tower of Hanoi is a mathematical puzzle where we have three rods and n disks. The objective of the puzzle is to move the entire stack to another rod, obeying the following simple rules: 
1) Only one disk can be moved at a time. 
2) Each move consists of taking the upper disk from one of the stacks and placing it on top of another stack i.e. a disk can only be moved if it is the uppermost disk on a stack. 
3) No disk may be placed on top of a smaller disk.
Note: Transferring the top n-1 disks from source rod to Auxiliary rod can again be thought of as a fresh problem and can be solved in the same manner.

# Recursive Python function to solve the tower of hanoi

def TowerOfHanoi(n , source, destination, auxiliary):
    if n==1:
        print ("Move disk 1 from source",source,"to destination",destination)
        return
    TowerOfHanoi(n-1, source, auxiliary, destination)
    print ("Move disk",n,"from source",source,"to destination",destination)
    TowerOfHanoi(n-1, auxiliary, destination, source)

# Driver code
n = 4
TowerOfHanoi(n,'A','B','C')
# A, C, B are the name of rods
