partition方法有什么错误?

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:2)

让我强调一些重要的事实:

 * @param end   end of region (exclusive)
                               ^^^^^^^^^

 * @param x     pivot - "small" and "big" are <x, >=x.
 * @return      start index (inclusive) of big elements
 *              in region after partition.

private static int partition(
    int[] arr, int start, int end, int x)
{

    int l = start -1, r = end+1;
                      ^^^^^^^^^^

    while (true) {
        while (l < end && arr[++l] < x) ;
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

        while(r> l && arr[--r] >x);// find smaller item
                      ^^^^^^^^

整个阵列分区后,endarr.length。然后设置end = arr.length + 1并在循环获取之后递增较低索引l,如果没有引发ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException(尝试访问arr[end],如果pivot是例如数组中的最大元素),您尝试在下一个循环中访问的第一个数组元素是arr[arr.length]。这会引发ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

因此,您可以保证在partition中获得AIOBE。

您可以设置r = end并将循环控件更改为

while(++l < r && arr[l] < x)

while(r-- > l && arr[r] > x)

或者您也可以将更高的索引包含在内,并从qs(arr, 0, arr.length -1)致电main
