Julia Multiple Dispatch入​​门

在我看来,这是Julia中最简单的可想象的多重调度示例-它是名为adhoc.jl的文件的全部(8行)内容。

f = function(x::String)
    println("Called first version of f")
end
f = function(x::Float64)
    println("Called second version of f")
end
f("x")
f(1.0)

但是当我(通过include("Adhoc.jl")运行该脚本时,茱莉亚抱怨道:

ERROR: LoadError: MethodError: no method matching 
(::getfield(Main, Symbol("##17#18")))(::String)

如果我将f的第二个实例更改为g,则一切正常,但这不再使用多重调度。为什么我不能通过多次调度到达一垒?

答案 0 :(得分:11)

这是更正的版本:

function f(x::String)
    println("Called first version of f")
end
function f(x::Float64)
    println("Called second version of f")
end
f("x")
f(1.0)

您的代码的问题是您的原始代码创建了一个匿名函数并将其分配给变量f。而且您做了两次,因此f仅指向function(x::Float64)

您可以通过在Julia REPL中运行原始代码来查看问题:

julia> f = function(x::String)
           println("Called first version of f")
           end
#3 (generic function with 1 method)

julia> f = function(x::Float64)
           println("Called second version of f")
           end
#5 (generic function with 1 method)

julia> methods(f)
# 1 method for generic function "#5":
[1] (::getfield(Main, Symbol("##5#6")))(x::Float64) in Main at REPL[2]:2

您会看到f指向一个只有一个方法的匿名函数。

运行我的代码(您需要重新启动Julia REPL,因为f变量名将已被使用,并且无法重新分配):

julia> function f(x::String)
           println("Called first version of f")
           end
f (generic function with 1 method)

julia> function f(x::Float64)
           println("Called second version of f")
           end
f (generic function with 2 methods)

julia> f("x")
Called first version of f

julia> f(1.0)
Called second version of f

julia> methods(f)
# 2 methods for generic function "f":
[1] f(x::Float64) in Main at REPL[2]:2
[2] f(x::String) in Main at REPL[1]:2
