如何解决归并排序算法中的递归问题？

Question

例如，我想通过合并排序对station的属性f进行排序。

class mergesort_algorithm():


 def Merge_Sort(self,stations):

     length = len(stations)
     middle = int(length/2-1)

     if length<=1:
         return stations
     else:
         list1 = self.Merge_Sort(stations[:middle])
         list2 = self.Merge_Sort(stations[middle:])

         return self.Merge(list1,list2)




 def Merge(self,list1,list2):
     list3 = []
     length1 = len(list1)
     length2 = len(list2)
     point1 = 0
     point2 = 0


     while point1<=length1-1 and point2<=length2-1:

         if list1[point1].f<list2[point2].f:
             list3.append(list1[point1])
             point1 += 1

         else:
             list3.append(list2[point2])
             point2 += 1

     if point1>length1:
         for i in range(list2):
             if i>=point2:
                 list3.append(list2[point2])

     if point2>length2:
         for i in range(list1):
             if i>=point1:
                 list3.append(list1[point1])

     for item in list3:
         print(item.name)
     print("-----")
     return list3

当我运行代码对电台列表进行排序时，它会报告错误。

RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

我不知道如何解决它。似乎有很多递归。我找到了一些解决方案： import sys 和 sys.setrecursionlimit(1000000)

Answer 1

假设len(stations) 为2。那么middle 为0。所以stations[:middle] 为空，但stations[middle:] 的长度为2，并且存在无限递归。
