如何在可迭代的第n个最大项目的原始列表中返回索引

heapq.nlargest(2, [100, 2, 400, 500, 400])

output = [(3,500), (2, 400)]

这已经花了我几个小时。我无法理解。

答案 0 :(得分:20)

>>> seq = [100, 2, 400, 500, 400]
>>> heapq.nlargest(2, enumerate(seq), key=lambda x: x[1])
[(3, 500), (2, 400)]

答案 1 :(得分:3)

您可以将list.indexmap结合使用,这对于小n来说很快(请注意list.index首先返回列表中的索引项目,其值为x):

>>> iterable = [100, 2, 400, 500, 400]
>>> map(iterable.index, heapq.nlargest(2, iterable))
[3, 2]

查看相关值...

>>> map(lambda n: (n, iterable.index(n)), heapq.nlargest(2, iterable))
[(500, 3), (400, 2)]

对于较大的n,请参阅@ SilentGhost的帖子。


编辑:基准测试的一些解决方案:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import heapq
from timeit import Timer

seq = [100, 2, 400, 500, 400]

def a(seq):
    """returns [(3, 500), (2, 400)]"""
    return heapq.nlargest(2, enumerate(seq), key=lambda x: x[1])

def b(seq):
    """returns [3, 2]"""
    return map(seq.index, heapq.nlargest(2, seq))

def c(seq):
    """returns [(500, 3), (400, 2)]"""
    map(lambda n: (n, seq.index(n)), heapq.nlargest(2, seq))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    _a = Timer("a(seq)", "from __main__ import a, seq")
    _b = Timer("b(seq)", "from __main__ import b, seq")
    _c = Timer("c(seq)", "from __main__ import c, seq") 

    loops = 1000000

    print _a.timeit(number=loops)
    print _b.timeit(number=loops)
    print _c.timeit(number=loops)
