在Java中创建一组递增的符号(或整数)

我要做的是打印一个从末尾开始递增的递增集(参见下面的示例)。

我所拥有的代码采用了一组操作符并逐一更改它们,从最后开始并向后工作。这就是我所拥有的(mut是变异):

public static void main(String[] args) {
    String[] set = {"*", "*", "*"};
    int numOfMuts = 6;

    int currMutIndex = set.length - 1;
    String currOp = set[currMutIndex];
    String nextMut = currOp;

    for (int i = 1; i <= numOfMuts; i++) {
        nextMut = shiftOperator(nextMut);
        if (nextMut.equals(currOp)) {
            set[currMutIndex] = currOp;

            if ((currMutIndex--) == -1) {
                break;
            }

            currOp = set[currMutIndex];
            nextMut = shiftOperator(currOp);
        }
        set[currMutIndex] = nextMut;

        //print out the set
        printSet(set);
    }
}

/*
    This method shifts the operator to the next in the set of
    [*, +, -, /]. This is the order of the ASCII operator precedence.
*/
public static String shiftOperator(String operator) {
    if (operator.equals("*")) {
        return "+";
    } else if (operator.equals("+")) {
        return "-";
    } else if (operator.equals("-")) {
        return "/";
    } else { //operator is "/"
        return "*";
    }
}

这给了我:

*, *, +
*, *, -
*, *, /
*, +, *
*, -, *
*, /, *

但我想要的是:

*, *, +
*, *, -
*, *, /
*, +, *
*, +, +
*, +, -

用更简单的术语解释问题,使用数字:

1, 1, 1       1, 3, 1
1, 1, 2       1, 3, 2
1, 1, 3       1, 3, 3
1, 1, 4       1, 3, 4
1, 2, 1       1, 4, 1
1, 2, 2       1, 4, 2
1, 2, 3       1, 4, 3
1, 2, 4       1, 4, 4
1, 3, 1       2, 1, 1
1, 3, 2       2, 1, 2

依此类推,我希望产生的突变数量。我怎么需要修改算法或者(我确定有)更简单的方法来实现这个目标?我甚至不确定我要问的名字,所以请根据需要标记。

答案 0 :(得分:0)

基本上,你要做的是计入第四纪。就像二进制数字的结构一样:

2^(n-1) 2^(n-2) ... 2^1 2^0

如果我们向上计数,

会导致:0,1,10,11,100等等。

第四纪系统将使用相同的方式计算:

4^(n-1) 4^(n-2) ... 4^1 4^0

这将导致:0,1,2,3,10,11,12,13,20等等。您可以对任何数字系统执行相同操作。这里有一些代码可以满足您的要求:

    String set[] = new String[3];
    String countSymbols[] = {"*", "+","-","/"}

    /* You can set to however far you want to count here, but in your code, 
      the limit would be (4^3)-1 = 3*(4^2)+3(4^1)+3*(4^0) = 63. We get this
      because there's 4 symbols and 3 digits. */

    for (int i = 0 ; i < 64 ; i++) {
       /* Since you're trying to print them in increasing order, we'll have to set
          the values in reverse order as well. */
       // 4^0 = 1
       set[2] = countSymbols[i%4];

       // 4^1 = 4
       set[1] = countSymbols[(i/4)%4]

       // 4^2 = 16
       set[0] = countSymbols[(i/16)%4]

       printSet(set);
    }

希望这有帮助。
