设N 为桶数(示例中为3),M 球数(2)。现在,让我们看一下示例中[0..N**M) - [0..9) 范围内的数字;我们用radix = N 表示这些数字。对于问题中的示例,我们有 trinary 数字
现在我们可以很容易地解释这些数字:第一个数字显示第一个球的位置,第二个 - 第二个球的位置。
|--- Second Ball position [0..2]
||-- First Ball position [0..2]
||
0 = 00 - both balls are in the bucket #0 (`A`)
1 = 01 - first ball is in the bucket #1 ('B'), second is in the bucket #0 (`A`)
2 = 02 - first ball is in the bucket #2 ('C'), second is in the bucket #0 (`A`)
3 = 10 - first ball is in the bucket #0 ('A'), second is in the bucket #1 (`B`)
4 = 11 - both balls are in the bucket #1 (`B`)
5 = 12 ...
6 = 20
7 = 21 ...
8 = 22 - both balls are in the bucket #2 (`C`)
一般算法是:
- 对于
0 .. N**M 范围内的每个数字
-
ith 球 (i = 0..M-1) 将在桶中 #(number / N**i) % N(这里 / 代表 整数 除,% 代表余数)
如果你只想要总数,答案很简单N ** M,在上面的例子中3 ** 2 == 9
C#代码算法本身很容易实现:
static IEnumerable<int[]> BallsLocations(int boxCount, int ballCount) {
BigInteger count = BigInteger.Pow(boxCount, ballCount);
for (BigInteger i = 0; i < count; ++i) {
int[] balls = new int[ballCount];
int index = 0;
for (BigInteger value = i; value > 0; value /= boxCount)
balls[index++] = (int)(value % boxCount);
yield return balls;
}
}
是可以纠缠的答案表示:
static IEnumerable<string> BallsSolutions(int boxCount, int ballCount) {
foreach (int[] balls in BallsLocations(boxCount, ballCount)) {
List<int>[] boxes = Enumerable
.Range(0, boxCount)
.Select(_ => new List<int>())
.ToArray();
for (int j = 0; j < balls.Length; ++j)
boxes[balls[j]].Add(j + 1);
yield return string.Join(Environment.NewLine, boxes
.Select((item, index) => $"Box {index + 1} : {string.Join(", ", item.Select(b => $"B{b}"))}"));
}
}
演示:
int balls = 3;
int boxes = 2;
string report = string.Join(
Environment.NewLine + "------------------" + Environment.NewLine,
BallsSolutions(boxes, balls));
Console.Write(report);
结果:
Box 1 : B1, B2, B3
Box 2 :
------------------
Box 1 : B2, B3
Box 2 : B1
------------------
Box 1 : B1, B3
Box 2 : B2
------------------
Box 1 : B3
Box 2 : B1, B2
------------------
Box 1 : B1, B2
Box 2 : B3
------------------
Box 1 : B2
Box 2 : B1, B3
------------------
Box 1 : B1
Box 2 : B2, B3
------------------
Box 1 :
Box 2 : B1, B2, B3
