为什么HashSet.removeAll会进行二次运算?

我有这段代码生成HashSet并在其上调用removeAll()。我创建了一个类A,它只是一个int的包装器,它记录调用equals的次数 - 程序输出该数字。

import java.util.*;

class A {
    int x;
    static int equalsCalls;

    A(int x) {
        this.x = x;
    }

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        return x;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object o) {
        equalsCalls++;
        if (!(o instanceof A)) return false;
        return x == ((A)o).x;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int setSize = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
        int listSize = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);
        Set<A> s = new HashSet<A>();
        for (int i = 0; i < setSize; i ++)
            s.add(new A(i));
        List<A> l = new LinkedList<A>();
        for (int i = 0; i < listSize; i++)
            l.add(new A(i));
        s.removeAll(l);
        System.out.println(A.equalsCalls);
    }
}

事实证明,removeAll操作与我预期的不是线性的:

$ java A 10 10
55
$ java A 100 100
5050
$ java A 1000 1000
500500

事实上,它似乎是二次方的。为什么呢?

s.removeAll(l);替换行for (A b : l) s.remove(b);会修复它以我期望的方式行事:

$ java A 10 10
10
$ java A 100 100
100
$ java A 1000 1000
1000

为什么?

这是显示二次曲线的图表:

x和y轴是Java程序的两个参数。 z轴是A.equals次呼叫的数量。


该图表是由此Asymptote程序生成的:

surface s=surface(a,(-1/2,-1/2),(1/2,1/2),Spline);
draw(s,mean(palette(s.map(zpart),Rainbow())),black);

数组a是由这个Haskell程序生成的:

import System.Process
import Data.List

f :: Integer -> Integer -> IO Integer
f x y = fmap read $ readProcess "/usr/bin/java" ["A", show x, show y] ""

g :: [[Integer]] -> [String]
g xss = map (\xs -> "new real[]{" ++ intercalate "," (map show xs) ++ "},") xss

main = do
  let n = 20
  xs <- mapM (\x -> mapM (\y -> f x y) [0..n]) [0..n]
  putStrLn $ unlines $ g xs

removeAll工作所需的时间取决于您传递的收集类型。当您查看removeAll的实现时:

public boolean removeAll(Collection<?> c) {
    boolean modified = false;

    if (size() > c.size()) {
        for (Iterator<?> i = c.iterator(); i.hasNext(); )
            modified |= remove(i.next());
    } else {
        for (Iterator<?> i = iterator(); i.hasNext(); ) {
            if (c.contains(i.next())) {
                i.remove();
                modified = true;
            }
        }
    }
    return modified;
}

可以看到,当HashSet和集合具有相同的大小时,它会迭代HashSet并为每个元素调用c.contains。由于您使用LinkedList作为参数,因此这是每个元素的O(n)操作。因为它需要为被移除的n个元素中的每个元素执行此操作,所以结果是O(n 2 )操作。

如果您将LinkedList替换为提供contains更高效实施的集合,那么removeAll的效果应相应提高。如果你使HashSet大于集合,那么性能也应该大幅提升,因为它会迭代集合。
