基本所有的讲递归的书和视频都会以汉诺塔作为开始,因为它足够经典
汉诺塔问题要求整个挪动的过程中都符合小压大的原则,就是如果同一个柱子上有超过1个的话,那必须下面是最大的,上面依次变小,不能出现大盘压小盘的情况。
n层汉诺塔问题解题思路
1.先把n-1个盘从左挪到中
2.把第n个盘从左挪到右
3.把1~n-1从中挪到右。
3层汉诺塔的具体步骤
粗糙版代码:
package dataStructure.recurrence.practice;
public class Hanoi {
public static void leftToRight(int n) {
if(n == 1) {
System.out.println("move 1 from left To Right");
return;
}
leftToMiddle(n-1);
System.out.println("move " + n + " from left to right");
middleToRight(n - 1 );
}
public static void leftToMiddle(int n) {
if(n == 1) {
System.out.println("move 1 from left to middle");
return;
}
leftToRight(n - 1);
System.out.println("move " + n + " from left to middle");
rightToMiddle(n - 1);
}
public static void middleToLeft(int n) {
if(n == 1) {
System.out.println("move 1 from middle to left");
return;
}
middleToRight(n - 1);
System.out.println("move " + n + " from middle to left");
rightToLeft(n - 1);
}
public static void middleToRight(int n) {
if(n == 1) {
System.out.println("move 1 from middle to right");
return;
}
middleToLeft(n -1 );
System.out.println("move " + n + " from middle to right");
leftToRight(n - 1);
}
public static void rightToLeft(int n) {
if(n == 1) {
System.out.println("move 1 from right to left");
return;
}
rightToMiddle(n - 1 );
System.out.println("move " + n + " from right to left");
middleToLeft(n - 1);
}
public static void rightToMiddle(int n) {
if(n == 1) {
System.out.println("move 1 from right to middle");
return;
}
rightToLeft(n - 1);
System.out.println("move " + n + " from right to middle");
leftToMiddle(n - 1);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
leftToRight(3);
}
}
代码中枚举了6种可能性的移动,每个都写了一个方法,显然有些臃肿,我们可以通过增加参数来让方法拥有更多的功能。
改进后的正常版的汉诺塔代码
package dataStructure.recurrence.practice;
public class Hanoi2 {
public static void move(int n, String from, String to, String other) {
if(n == 1) {
System.out.println("move 1 from " + from + " to " + to );
} else {
move(n - 1, from, other, to);
System.out.println("move " + n + " from " + from + " to " + to);
move(n - 1, other, to, from);
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
move(3, "left", "right", "middle");
}
}
