在java中,我必须进行二分查找,要求用户选择列表中存在的两个名称,然后打印这两个名字之间的所有人,从他们输入的第一个名字开始,到第二个名字结束他们输入。我首先调用方法searchTwoPeople。它什么都没有返回....这是我的代码:
public int binarySearch(String searchItem)
{
int first = 0;
int last = nMembers - 1;
int mid = 0;
boolean found = false;
while (first <= last && !found)
{
mid = (first + last) / 2;
if (bookMembers[mid].lastName.compareTo(searchItem) == 0)
found = true;
else if (bookMembers[mid].lastName.compareTo(searchItem) > 0)
last = mid - 1;
else
first = mid + 1;
}
if (!found)
mid = -1; //it is an unsuccessful search
return mid;
}//end binarySearch
public int findFirstPosition(int position)
{
int newPosition = position;
if (position == 0)
{
return position;
}
while (true)
{
if (bookMembers[newPosition-1].lastName.compareTo(bookMembers
[position].lastName) != 0)
{
return newPosition;
}
else
{
--newPosition;
if (newPosition == 0)
{
return newPosition; // no more people in list
}
}
// end sequential search
}
}
public void searchTwoPeople()
{
String lastName = new String();
String lastName2 = new String();
int position, nextPosition;
int tryCount = 0;
boolean more = true;
do
{
lastName = inputFirstLastName();//this is the
method where I have user input a name where to start search and it's passed in here
lastName2 = inputSecondLastName(); //user puts
name where to end search
position = binarySearch(lastName);
if (position == -1)
{
System.out.println ("\n You have no
contacts with the name " + lastName);
++ tryCount;
}
}
while (position == -1 && tryCount < 3);// only let them try
3 times....
if (tryCount == 3)
{
System.out.println("Only allowed 3 attempts -
select a new menu option");
return;
}
nextPosition = findFirstPosition(position);
while (more)
{
System.out.println(bookMembers
[nextPosition].toString());
}
++ nextPosition; // check next person
if (nextPosition == nMembers) // last person in
the list
{
more = false;
}
else
{
if (bookMembers
[nextPosition].lastName.compareTo(lastName2) == 0)
{
more = false;
}
}
}
