标签: c# count loops iteration alphabet

我有一个关于迭代字母表的问题。 我想有一个以“a”开头并以“z”结尾的循环。之后,循环开始“aa”并计入“az”。之后以“ba”开头,直到“bz”等等......

有人知道一些解决方案吗?

感谢

编辑:我忘了我给函数一个字符“a”然后函数必须返回b。如果你给“bnc”,那么该函数必须返回“bnd”

第一次努力,只需a-z然后aa-zz

public static IEnumerable<string> GetExcelColumns()
{
    for (char c = 'a'; c <= 'z'; c++)
    {
        yield return c.ToString();
    }
    char[] chars = new char[2];
    for (char high = 'a'; high <= 'z'; high++)
    {
        chars[0] = high;
        for (char low = 'a'; low <= 'z'; low++)
        {
            chars[1] = low;
            yield return new string(chars);
        }
    }
}

请注意,这将停在'zz'。当然,就循环而言,这里有一些丑陋的重复。幸运的是,这很容易解决 - 而且它也可以更加灵活:

第二次尝试:字母更灵活

private const string Alphabet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";

public static IEnumerable<string> GetExcelColumns()
{
    return GetExcelColumns(Alphabet);
}

public static IEnumerable<string> GetExcelColumns(string alphabet)
{
    foreach(char c in alphabet)
    {
        yield return c.ToString();
    }
    char[] chars = new char[2];
    foreach(char high in alphabet)
    {
        chars[0] = high;
        foreach(char low in alphabet)
        {
            chars[1] = low;
            yield return new string(chars);
        }
    }
}

现在,如果您只想生成a,b,c,d,aa,ab,ac,ad,ba,...,请拨打GetExcelColumns("abcd")

第三次尝试(进一步修订) - 无限序列

public static IEnumerable<string> GetExcelColumns(string alphabet)
{
    int length = 0;
    char[] chars = null;
    int[] indexes = null;
    while (true)
    {
        int position = length-1;
        // Try to increment the least significant
        // value.
        while (position >= 0)
        {
            indexes[position]++;
            if (indexes[position] == alphabet.Length)
            {
                for (int i=position; i < length; i++)
                {
                    indexes[i] = 0;
                    chars[i] = alphabet[0];
                }
                position--;
            }
            else
            {
                chars[position] = alphabet[indexes[position]];
                break;
            }
        }
        // If we got all the way to the start of the array,
        // we need an extra value
        if (position == -1)
        {
            length++; 
            chars = new char[length];
            indexes = new int[length];
            for (int i=0; i < length; i++)
            {
                chars[i] = alphabet[0];
            }
        }
        yield return new string(chars);
    }
}

使用递归可能是更干净的代码,但效率不高。

请注意,如果您想在某一点停留,可以使用LINQ:

var query = GetExcelColumns().TakeWhile(x => x != "zzz");

“重新启动”迭代器

要从给定点重新启动迭代器,您确实可以使用软件jedi建议的SkipWhile。当然,那效率很低。如果你能够在调用之间保持任何状态,你可以保留迭代器(对于任一解决方案):

using (IEnumerator<string> iterator = GetExcelColumns())
{
    iterator.MoveNext();
    string firstAttempt = iterator.Current;

    if (someCondition)
    {
        iterator.MoveNext();
        string secondAttempt = iterator.Current;
        // etc
    }
}

或者,您可以构建代码以使用foreach,只需突破您实际可以使用的第一个值。

编辑:使其与OP的最新编辑完全相同

这是最简单的解决方案,经过测试:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Console.WriteLine(GetNextBase26("a"));
    Console.WriteLine(GetNextBase26("bnc"));
}

private static string GetNextBase26(string a)
{
    return Base26Sequence().SkipWhile(x => x != a).Skip(1).First();
}

private static IEnumerable<string> Base26Sequence()
{
    long i = 0L;
    while (true)
        yield return Base26Encode(i++);
}

private static char[] base26Chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz".ToCharArray();
private static string Base26Encode(Int64 value)
{
    string returnValue = null;
    do
    {
        returnValue = base26Chars[value % 26] + returnValue;
        value /= 26;
    } while (value-- != 0);
    return returnValue;
}

以下填充了包含所需字符串的列表:

List<string> result = new List<string>();
for (char ch = 'a'; ch <= 'z'; ch++){
    result.Add (ch.ToString());
}

for (char i = 'a'; i <= 'z'; i++)
{
    for (char j = 'a'; j <= 'z'; j++)
    {
        result.Add (i.ToString() + j.ToString());
    }
}

答案 3 :(得分:3)

我知道这里有很多答案,其中一个被接受了,但是IMO它们都使它变得比它需要的更难。我认为以下更简单,更清洁:

static string NextColumn(string column){
    char[] c = column.ToCharArray();
    for(int i = c.Length - 1; i >= 0; i--){
        if(char.ToUpper(c[i]++) < 'Z')
            break;
        c[i] -= (char)26;
        if(i == 0)
            return "A" + new string(c);
    }
    return new string(c);
}

请注意,这不会进行任何输入验证。如果您不信任您的呼叫者,则应在开头添加IsNullOrEmpty检查,并在循环顶部添加c[i] >= 'A' && c[i] <= 'Z' || c[i] >= 'a' && c[i] <= 'z'检查。或者只是留下它,让它成为GIGO

您也可以使用这些配套功能:

static string GetColumnName(int index){
    StringBuilder txt = new StringBuilder();
    txt.Append((char)('A' + index % 26));
    //txt.Append((char)('A' + --index % 26));
    while((index /= 26) > 0)
        txt.Insert(0, (char)('A' + --index % 26));
    return txt.ToString();
}
static int GetColumnIndex(string name){
    int rtn = 0;
    foreach(char c in name)
        rtn = rtn * 26 + (char.ToUpper(c) - '@');
    return rtn - 1;
    //return rtn;
}

这两个函数是从零开始的。也就是说,“A”= 0,“Z”= 25,“AA”= 26等。要使它们基于一个(如Excel的COM接口),删除每个函数中注释行上方的行,并取消注释线。

NextColumn函数一样,这些函数不验证其输入。如果这是他们得到的东西,两者都给你垃圾。

这就是我想出来的。

/// <summary>
/// Return an incremented alphabtical string
/// </summary>
/// <param name="letter">The string to be incremented</param>
/// <returns>the incremented string</returns>
public static string NextLetter(string letter)
{
  const string alphabet = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
  if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(letter))
  {
    char lastLetterInString = letter[letter.Length - 1];

    // if the last letter in the string is the last letter of the alphabet
    if (alphabet.IndexOf(lastLetterInString) == alphabet.Length - 1) 
    {
        //replace the last letter in the string with the first leter of the alphbat and get the next letter for the rest of the string
        return NextLetter(letter.Substring(0, letter.Length - 1)) + alphabet[0];
    }
    else 
    {
      // replace the last letter in the string with the proceeding letter of the alphabet
      return letter.Remove(letter.Length-1).Insert(letter.Length-1, (alphabet[alphabet.IndexOf(letter[letter.Length-1])+1]).ToString() );
    }
  }
  //return the first letter of the alphabet
  return alphabet[0].ToString();
}

只是好奇,为什么不只是

    private string alphRecursive(int c) {
         var alphabet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz".ToCharArray();
         if (c >= alphabet.Length) {
             return alphRecursive(c/alphabet.Length) + alphabet[c%alphabet.Length];
         } else {
             return "" + alphabet[c%alphabet.Length];
         }
    }

答案 6 :(得分:0)

这就像显示一个int,只使用base 26而不是base 10.尝试使用以下算法查找数组的第n个条目

q = n div 26;
r = n mod 26;
s = '';
while (q > 0 || r > 0) {
  s = alphabet[r] + s;
  q = q div 26;
  r = q mod 26;
}

当然,如果你想要前n个条目,这不是最有效的解决方案。在这种情况下,尝试像丹尼尔的解决方案。

我放了一下,想出了这个:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace Alphabetty
{
    class Program
    {
        const string alphabet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
        static int cursor = 0;
        static int prefixCursor;
        static string prefix = string.Empty;
        static bool done = false;
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string s = string.Empty;
            while (s != "Done")
            {
                s = GetNextString();
                Console.WriteLine(s);
            }
            Console.ReadKey();

        }        
        static string GetNextString()
        {
            if (done) return "Done";
            char? nextLetter = GetNextLetter(ref cursor);
            if (nextLetter == null)
            {
                char? nextPrefixLetter = GetNextLetter(ref prefixCursor);
                if(nextPrefixLetter == null)
                {
                    done = true;
                    return "Done";
                }
                prefix = nextPrefixLetter.Value.ToString();
                nextLetter = GetNextLetter(ref cursor);
            }

            return prefix + nextLetter;
        }

        static char? GetNextLetter(ref int letterCursor)
        {
            if (letterCursor == alphabet.Length)
            {
                letterCursor = 0;
                return null;
            }

            char c = alphabet[letterCursor];
            letterCursor++;
            return c;
        }
    }
}

答案 8 :(得分:0)

这是我烹饪过的可能类似的东西。我正在尝试迭代计数,以便设计尽可能小的编号模式,但给了我足够的独特性。

我知道每次增加一个Alpha字符时,它会增加26x的可能性,但我不确定我想要使用多少个字母,数字或模式。

这引导我看下面的代码。基本上你传递一个AlphaNumber字符串,每个有一个字母的位置最终会增加到&#34; z \ Z&#34;并且每个具有数字的位置最终会增加到&#34; 9&#34;。

所以你可以用两种方式来称呼它。

//This would give you the next Itteration... (H3reIsaStup4dExamplf)
string myNextValue = IncrementAlphaNumericValue("H3reIsaStup4dExample") 

//Or Loop it resulting eventually as "Z9zzZzzZzzz9zZzzzzzz"
string myNextValue = "H3reIsaStup4dExample"
while (myNextValue != null)
{
   myNextValue = IncrementAlphaNumericValue(myNextValue)
   //And of course do something with this like write it out
}

(对我来说,我做的事情就像&#34; 1AA000&#34;)

public string IncrementAlphaNumericValue(string Value)
    {
        //We only allow Characters a-b, A-Z, 0-9
        if (System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.IsMatch(Value, "^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$") == false)
        {
            throw new Exception("Invalid Character: Must be a-Z or 0-9");
        }

        //We work with each Character so it's best to convert the string to a char array for incrementing
        char[] myCharacterArray = Value.ToCharArray();

        //So what we do here is step backwards through the Characters and increment the first one we can. 
        for (Int32 myCharIndex = myCharacterArray.Length - 1; myCharIndex >= 0; myCharIndex--)
        {
            //Converts the Character to it's ASCII value
            Int32 myCharValue = Convert.ToInt32(myCharacterArray[myCharIndex]);

            //We only Increment this Character Position, if it is not already at it's Max value (Z = 90, z = 122, 57 = 9)
            if (myCharValue != 57 && myCharValue != 90 && myCharValue != 122)
            {
                myCharacterArray[myCharIndex]++;

                //Now that we have Incremented the Character, we "reset" all the values to the right of it
                for (Int32 myResetIndex = myCharIndex + 1; myResetIndex < myCharacterArray.Length; myResetIndex++)
                {
                    myCharValue = Convert.ToInt32(myCharacterArray[myResetIndex]);
                    if (myCharValue >= 65 && myCharValue <= 90)
                    {
                        myCharacterArray[myResetIndex] = 'A';
                    }
                    else if (myCharValue >= 97 && myCharValue <= 122)
                    {
                        myCharacterArray[myResetIndex] = 'a';
                    }
                    else if (myCharValue >= 48 && myCharValue <= 57)
                    {
                        myCharacterArray[myResetIndex] = '0';
                    }
                }

                //Now we just return an new Value
                return new string(myCharacterArray);
            } 
        }

        //If we got through the Character Loop and were not able to increment anything, we retun a NULL. 
        return null;  
    }

答案 9 :(得分:-2)

这是我使用递归的尝试:

public static void PrintAlphabet(string alphabet, string prefix)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < alphabet.Length; i++) {
        Console.WriteLine(prefix + alphabet[i].ToString());
    }

    if (prefix.Length < alphabet.Length - 1) {
        for (int i = 0; i < alphabet.Length; i++) {
            PrintAlphabet(alphabet, prefix + alphabet[i]);
        }
    }
}

然后只需致电PrintAlphabet("abcd", "");
