我试图将方法写成“联合”,可以描述:如果A,B,C是集合,则形式为C = A.union(B)。 Union返回一个Set,其中包含集合A和B中的所有元素,但只列出重复一次。
我对这个方法的想法是遍历集合A并将其所有元素添加到并集集,然后遍历集合B,如果集合B的元素已经存在于并集中,则不要将其插入到结果集中,否则全部插入联合集。
对于像我这样的初学者来说这很复杂,因为我想在方法中包含所有3个列表(我得到了一堆错误)。我已经在我的SLinkedList类中编写了一些方法来检查和添加元素,但参数从节点中获取对象
/** Singly linked list .*/
public class SLinkedList {
protected Node head; // head node of the list
protected int size; // number of nodes in the list
/** Default constructor that creates an empty list */
public SLinkedList() {
head = new Node(null, null); // create a dummy head
size = 0;
// add last
public void addLast(Object data) {
Node cur = head;
// find last node
while (cur.getNext() != null) {
cur = cur.getNext();
}
// cur refers to the last node
cur.setNext(new Node(data, null));
size++;
}
// contain method to check existing elements
public boolean contain (Object target) {
boolean status = false;
Node cursor;
for (cursor = head; cursor != null; cursor = cursor.getNext()) {
if (target.equals(cursor.getElement())) {
status = true;
}
}
return status;
}
public SLinkedList union (SLinkedList secondSet) {
SLinkedList unionSet = new SLinkedList();
secondSet = new SLinkedList();
Node cursor;
for(cursor = head.getNext(); cursor != null; cursor = cursor.getNext()) {
unionSet.addLast(cursor.getElement());
// traverse secondSet, if an element is existed in either set A or union
// set, skip, else add to union set
}
}
return unionSet;
}
}
节点类
/** Node of a singly linked list of strings. */
public class Node {
private Object element; // we assume elements are character strings
private Node next;
/** Creates a node with the given element and next node. */
public Node(Object o, Node n) {
element = o;
next = n;
}
/** Returns the element of this node. */
public Object getElement() { return element; }
/** Returns the next node of this node. */
public Node getNext() { return next; }
// Modifier methods:
/** Sets the element of this node. */
public void setElement(Object newElem) { element = newElem; }
/** Sets the next node of this node. */
public void setNext(Node newNext) { next = newNext; }
}
*的 更新 *
问题是如果有第二个列表涉及public SLinkedList union (SLinkedList secondSet)
,我应该使用什么语法来遍历集合B并检查集合B中的元素是否已经存在于结果中,然后不将其插入结果,否则插入。我是否需要为集合B创建节点并遍历它?,可能有比较方法来比较union方法之外的2个集合?
请帮忙。谢谢大家。
答案 0 :(得分:1)
SLinkedList unionSet = null; // need a new SLinkedList() here
Node cursor;
for(cursor = head.getNext(); cursor != null; cursor = cursor.getNext()) {
unionSet.addLast(cursor.getElement()); // NPE because unionSet is null
}
