这个很搞笑! :D
我尝试了不同的方法,但 adi92(卡片 + 奖品)建议的逻辑比我尝试过的任何其他方法都好。
它是这样工作的:
- 一个人来检查所有的桌子
- 对于每张有空位的桌子,他会计算他还需要会见多少人,然后选择陌生人较多的一张
- 如果两张桌子有相同数量的陌生人,那么这个家伙会选择空位多的一张,这样就有更多的机会结识更多新朋友
每一轮就座的人的顺序是随机的(这避免了可能的无限循环),这是python中工作算法的“演示”:
import random
class Person(object):
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
self.known_people = dict()
def meets(self, a_guy, propagation = True):
"self meets a_guy, and a_guy meets self"
if a_guy not in self.known_people:
self.known_people[a_guy] = 1
else:
self.known_people[a_guy] += 1
if propagation: a_guy.meets(self, False)
def points(self, table):
"Calculates how many new guys self will meet at table"
return len([p for p in table if p not in self.known_people])
def chooses(self, tables, n_seats):
"Calculate what is the best table to sit at, and return it"
points = 0
free_seats = 0
ret = random.choice([t for t in tables if len(t)<n_seats])
for table in tables:
tmp_p = self.points(table)
tmp_s = n_seats - len(table)
if tmp_s == 0: continue
if tmp_p > points or (tmp_p == points and tmp_s > free_seats):
ret = table
points = tmp_p
free_seats = tmp_s
return ret
def __str__(self):
return self.name
def __repr__(self):
return self.name
def Switcher(n_seats, people):
"""calculate how many tables and what switches you need
assuming each table has n_seats seats"""
n_people = len(people)
n_tables = n_people/n_seats
switches = []
while not all(len(g.known_people) == n_people-1 for g in people):
tables = [[] for t in xrange(n_tables)]
random.shuffle(people) # need to change "starter"
for the_guy in people:
table = the_guy.chooses(tables, n_seats)
tables.remove(table)
for guy in table:
the_guy.meets(guy)
table += [the_guy]
tables += [table]
switches += [tables]
return switches
lst_people = [Person('Hallis'),
Person('adi92'),
Person('ilya n.'),
Person('m_oLogin'),
Person('Andrea'),
Person('1800 INFORMATION'),
Person('starblue'),
Person('regularfry')]
s = Switcher(4, lst_people)
print "You need %d tables and %d turns" % (len(s[0]), len(s))
turn = 1
for tables in s:
print 'Turn #%d' % turn
turn += 1
tbl = 1
for table in tables:
print ' Table #%d - '%tbl, table
tbl += 1
print '\n'
这将输出如下内容:
You need 2 tables and 3 turns
Turn #1
Table #1 - [1800 INFORMATION, Hallis, m_oLogin, Andrea]
Table #2 - [adi92, starblue, ilya n., regularfry]
Turn #2
Table #1 - [regularfry, starblue, Hallis, m_oLogin]
Table #2 - [adi92, 1800 INFORMATION, Andrea, ilya n.]
Turn #3
Table #1 - [m_oLogin, Hallis, adi92, ilya n.]
Table #2 - [Andrea, regularfry, starblue, 1800 INFORMATION]
由于随机性,它并不总是带有最少的切换次数,尤其是在人数较多的情况下。然后你应该运行它几次,并以更少的回合获得结果(这样你就不会给聚会上的所有人带来压力:P),而且编写代码很容易:P
PS:
是的,你可以省下奖金:P
