这是一个很好的算法问题,但老实说,我认为您的实现不正确,或者可能是我不理解您的函数的输入/输出,对此我深表歉意。
这是您的实施的修改版本。
def C(i, coins, cdict = None):
if cdict == None:
cdict = {}
if i <= 0:
cdict[i] = 0
return cdict[i]
elif i in cdict:
return cdict[i]
elif i in coins:
cdict[i] = 1
return cdict[i]
else:
min = 0
for cj in coins:
result = C(i - cj, coins)
if result != 0:
if min == 0 or (result + 1) < min:
min = 1 + result
cdict[i] = min
return cdict[i]
这是我解决类似问题的尝试,但这次返回了一个硬币列表。我最初从一个递归算法开始,它接受一个总和和一个硬币列表,如果找不到这样的配置,它可能会返回一个包含最少硬币数量的列表或 None 。
def get_min_coin_configuration(sum = None, coins = None):
if sum in coins: # if sum in coins, nothing to do but return.
return [sum]
elif max(coins) > sum: # if the largest coin is greater then the sum, there's nothing we can do.
return None
else: # check for each coin, keep track of the minimun configuration, then return it.
min_length = None
min_configuration = None
for coin in coins:
results = get_min_coin_configuration(sum = sum - coin, coins = coins)
if results != None:
if min_length == None or (1 + len(results)) < len(min_configuration):
min_configuration = [coin] + results
min_length = len(min_configuration)
return min_configuration
好的,现在让我们看看我们是否可以通过使用动态编程(我称之为缓存)来改进它。
def get_min_coin_configuration(sum = None, coins = None, cache = None):
if cache == None: # this is quite crucial if its in the definition its presistent ...
cache = {}
if sum in cache:
return cache[sum]
elif sum in coins: # if sum in coins, nothing to do but return.
cache[sum] = [sum]
return cache[sum]
elif max(coins) > sum: # if the largest coin is greater then the sum, there's nothing we can do.
cache[sum] = None
return cache[sum]
else: # check for each coin, keep track of the minimun configuration, then return it.
min_length = None
min_configuration = None
for coin in coins:
results = get_min_coin_configuration(sum = sum - coin, coins = coins, cache = cache)
if results != None:
if min_length == None or (1 + len(results)) < len(min_configuration):
min_configuration = [coin] + results
min_length = len(min_configuration)
cache[sum] = min_configuration
return cache[sum]
现在让我们运行一些测试。
assert all([ get_min_coin_configuration(**test[0]) == test[1] for test in
[({'sum':25, 'coins':[1, 5, 10]}, [5, 10, 10]),
({'sum':153, 'coins':[1, 5, 10, 50]}, [1, 1, 1, 50, 50, 50]),
({'sum':100, 'coins':[1, 5, 10, 25]}, [25, 25, 25, 25]),
({'sum':123, 'coins':[5, 10, 25]}, None),
({'sum':100, 'coins':[1,5,25,100]}, [100])] ])
如果这个测试不够健壮,你也可以这样做。
import random
random_sum = random.randint(10**3, 10**4)
result = get_min_coin_configuration(sum = random_sum, coins = random.sample(range(10**3), 200))
assert sum(result) == random_sum
有可能没有这样的硬币组合等于我们的 random_sum,但我相信它不太可能......
我确信那里有更好的实现,我试图强调可读性而不是性能。祝你好运。
更新
了之前的代码有一个小错误,它假设检查 min coin 而不是 max,重新编写了符合 pep8 的算法,并[]
在找不到组合而不是None
