通过CS50,Pset3并急切地寻求帮助/耐心。 我正在尝试实施helpers.c,以便find.c具有正确的函数来调用..但是它没有连接..

我做了一个单独的文章,名为testBinSearch,确实有效。使用相同的代码..有人可以告诉我为什么..?

// maximum amount of hay
const int MAX = 65536;

int main(int argc, string argv[])

    // ensure proper usage
    if (argc != 2)

        printf("Usage: ./find needle\n");
        return -1;
    }

    // remember needle
    int needle = atoi(argv[1]);

    // fill haystack
    int size;
    int haystack[MAX];
    for (size = 0; size < MAX; size++)
    {
        // wait for hay until EOF
        printf("\nhaystack[%i] = ", size);
        int straw = GetInt();
        if (straw == INT_MAX)
        {
            break;
        }

        // add hay to stack
        haystack[size] = straw;
    }
    printf("\n");

    // sort the haystack
    sort(haystack, size);

    // try to find needle in haystack
    if (search(needle, haystack, size))
    {

    }
    else
    {
        printf("\nDidn't find needle in haystack.\n\n");
        return 1;
    }

}

最后,当我在一个文件中将它们全部键入时,这些代码可以单独工作(或者至少看起来有效)...标题为testBinSearch以下

#include <stdio.h>
#include <cs50.h>

void sort(int array[], int NumberOfElements);
bool search(int value, int values[], int n);

int main(void)


{
    //decalre variable
    int NumberOfElements;

    printf("how many Element would you like in this array?\n");
    NumberOfElements = GetInt();

    //declare variable for array
    int array[NumberOfElements];


    for(int i = 0; i < NumberOfElements; i++)
        {
            printf("alright, please key in value of each element\n");
            array[i] = GetInt();
        }

    sort(array, NumberOfElements);

    for (int i = 0; i < NumberOfElements; i++)
        {
            printf("alright, here is your array sorted, element %i is %i\n", i, array[i]);
        }

    printf("value ot search for?\n");
    int value = GetInt();
    search(value, array, NumberOfElements);
}


//----------
void sort(int array[], int NumberOfElements)
{
    //declare variable
    int element;

    //number of iterations (or passes?). Skip first because first array is already sorted
    for (int i = 1; i < NumberOfElements; i++)
        {
            //value of element moving into sorted portion
            element = array[i];

            //declare variable
            int j = 0;

            //index into the unsorted portion
            j = i;

            //iterate sorted portion from right to left while sorted portion is greater than 'Element' being compared in this iteration of i.
            //basically, it stops this loop once the 'Element' is placed to the left of all greater&&sorted numbers.
            while(j > 0 && array[j - 1] > element)
            {
                //shift all sorted positions to the right 
                array[j] = array [j - 1];

                // this enables the loop to move left through the sorted portion
                j = j - 1; 

            }

            //insert temp holder value into the position which is now empty because all sorted&&greater number are to the right of 'Element'
            array[j] = element;

        }

}

            }


      printf("could not find it\n");

}

有人可以帮助我并告诉我哪里出错了吗?我想出了代码并将其复制完毕,但有一个工作(testBinSearch)而一个工作没有(helpers.c)..?

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:2)

我不确定这是否涵盖整个问题,但无论如何......

此计算

midPoint = endPoint/2;

错了。

假设您有一个包含100个元素的数组。代码可能会引导您查看索引75到99,中间点(例如87),即您已经多次使用smaller than路径。

现在,如果您使用greater than部分,则计算出一个超出感兴趣范围的中点(例如43)

此外,startpoint变量不是smaller than案例中的变量。它必须与端点处于同一级别。在每个循环中,您必须更改起点端点。中点的计算应始终取决于起点和终点。
