我正在研究我的前几个算法来构建我的C ++技能,目前正在编写一种使用合并排序计算反转的方法。我已经成功地将一个合并排序组合在一起,但是我在跟踪反转次数方面遇到了一些麻烦。从这里开始的任何想法?如何跟踪这样的递归算法的反转次数?另外我在网上旅行中看到了几个不同的实现,并且发现大多数人偏离了std :: vector方法,任何想法为什么?感谢您的帮助,我的代码如下!
#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
vector<int> print(vector<int> input){
for(int i=0; i<input.size(); i++){
cout<<input[i]<<",";
}
cout<<endl;
return input;
}
vector<int> merge(vector<int> left,vector<int> right){
//set up some varibles
vector<int> output;
int i=0;
int j=0;
//loop through the lists and merge
while(i<left.size() && j<right.size()){
//push the smallest of the two to the vector output
if(left[i]<=right[j]){
output.push_back(left[i]);
i+=1;
}
if(left[i]>right[i]){
output.push_back(right[j]);
j+=1;
}
}
//push the remnants of the vectors to output
for(i; i<left.size(); i++){
output.push_back(left[i]);
}
for(j; j<right.size(); j++){
output.push_back(right[j]);
}
return output;
}//end merge
vector<int> merge_sort(vector<int> input){
//check the size of the vector
if(input.size()<2){
return input;
}
else{
//int new vectors
vector<int> left;
vector<int> right;
vector<int> output;
//find the middle of the input vector
int middle=(input.size())/2;
//build the left vector
for(int i=0; i<middle; i++){
left.push_back(input[i]);
}
//build the right vector
for(int i=middle; i<input.size(); i++){
right.push_back(input[i]);
}
//make recursive calls
left=merge_sort(left);
right=merge_sort(right);
//call merge
output=merge(left,right);
return output;
}
}
int main()
{
vector<int> output;
vector<int> input;
input.push_back(2);
input.push_back(1);
input.push_back(10);
input.push_back(4);
output=merge_sort(input);
print(output);
}
答案 0 :(得分:1)
好消息:从这里开始计算倒数很容易。
考虑一下你的&#34;合并&#34;方法。每次将左边向量中的元素放入输出时,都不会相对于右边的元素更改其位置。另一方面,每次你从右边的矢量中添加一个元素时,你都会在&#34;之前添加一个元素。所有元素仍然需要在左边的矢量中处理,当它在#34;之后#34;他们,即创建(left.size - i)&#34;反转&#34;。
如果需要,您可以通过归纳轻松证明这一点。
所以答案很简单:将int *传递给merge方法,并在每次从右向量推送元素时将其递增(left.size - i)。
编辑:工作代码示例
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
// removed useless dependency math.h
using namespace std;
// void type -> does not return anything
void print (vector<int> input) {
// range-based for loop (since C++ 11)
// no brackets -> only one instruction in for loop
for(int i : input)
cout << i << ",";
}
vector<int> merge (vector<int> left, vector<int> right, int * inv_count) {
vector<int> output;
// multiple variable definition of the same type
int i=0, j=0;
// spaces around "<", after "while", before "{" for readability
while (i < left.size() && j < right.size()) {
// one-instruction trick again
if (left[i] <= right[j])
// i++ is evaluated to <previous value of i> and then increments i
// this is strictly equivalent to your code, but shorter
// check the difference with ++i
output.push_back(left[i++]);
// else because the two conditions were complementary
else {
output.push_back(right[j++]);
// pointer incrementation
*inv_count += (left.size() - i);
}
}
// first field of for ommited because there is no need to initialize i
for(; i < left.size(); i++)
output.push_back(left[i]);
for(; j < right.size(); j++)
output.push_back(right[j]);
return output;
}
vector<int> merge_sort (vector<int> input, int * inv_count) {
// no-braces-idiom again
// spaces around "<" and after "if" for readability
if (input.size() < 2)
return input;
// no need for else keyword because of the return
// multiple variable definition
vector<int> left, right;
int middle = input.size() / 2;
// one-instruction for loop
for(int i=0; i < middle; i++)
left.push_back(input[i]);
for(int i=middle; i < input.size(); i++)
right.push_back(input[i]);
// no need for intermediate variable
return merge( merge_sort(left, inv_count),
merge_sort(right, inv_count),
inv_count);
}
// consistent convention : brace on the same line as function name with a space
int main () {
// vector initialization (valid only since C++ 11)
vector<int> input = {2, 1, 10, 4, 42, 3, 21, 7};
int inv_count = 0;
// No need for intermediate variables again, you can chain functions
print( merge_sort(input, &inv_count) );
// The value inv_count was modified although not returned
cout << "-> " << inv_count << " inversions" << endl;
}
我修改了你的代码以包含一些常用的C ++习语。因为您使用了C ++ 14标记,所以我也使用了自C ++ 11以来可用的技巧。我不建议在所有地方使用所有这些技巧,因为这是一个很好的学习经历,所以它们都包含在这里。
我建议你在深入了解C ++之前阅读有关指针的内容。
另请注意,此代码绝不是最佳的:创建了太多的中间向量,这里的向量没用,数组就足够了。但是我会再把它留下来。
