假设我有这样的伪代码:
bool conditionA = executeStepA();
if (conditionA){
bool conditionB = executeStepB();
if (conditionB){
bool conditionC = executeStepC();
if (conditionC){
...
}
}
}
executeThisFunctionInAnyCase();
函数executeStepX当且仅当前一个成功时执行。
在任何情况下,executeThisFunctionInAnyCase函数都应该在最后被调用。
我在编程方面是一个新手,所以很抱歉提出一个非常基本的问题:有没有一种方法(例如在C/ c++中)以代码易读性为代价,避免长if链产生那种“金字塔式代码”?
我知道如果我们可以跳过executeThisFunctionInAnyCase函数调用,代码可以简化为:
bool conditionA = executeStepA();
if (!conditionA) return;
bool conditionB = executeStepB();
if (!conditionB) return;
bool conditionC = executeStepC();
if (!conditionC) return;
但是约束是executeThisFunctionInAnyCase函数调用。
break语句可以以某种方式使用吗?
As @Jefffrey said, you can use the conditional short-circuit feature in almost every language, I personally dislike conditional statements with more than 2 condition (more than a single && or ||), just a matter of style. This code does the same (and probably would compile the same) and it looks a bit cleaner to me. You don't need curly braces, breaks, returns, functions, lambdas (only c++11), objects, etc. as long as every function in executeStepX() returns a value that can be cast to true if the next statement is to be executed or false otherwise.
if (executeStepA())
if (executeStepB())
if (executeStepC())
//...
if (executeStepN()); // <-- note the ';'
executeThisFunctionInAnyCase();
任何时候,任何函数返回false,都不会调用下一个函数。
我喜欢@Mayerz的答案,因为你可以在运行时改变要调用的函数(以及它们的顺序)。这有点像观察者模式,其中有一组订阅者(函数、对象等),只要满足给定的任意条件,就会调用和执行这些订阅者。在许多情况下,这可能是一个过度杀戮,所以明智地使用它:)
在c++中(这个问题在C和c++中都有标记),如果你不能改变函数来使用异常,你仍然可以使用异常机制,如果你写一个像这样的小助手函数
struct function_failed {};
void attempt(bool retval)
{
if (!retval)
throw function_failed(); // or a more specific exception class
}
然后你的代码可以如下所示:
try
{
attempt(executeStepA());
attempt(executeStepB());
attempt(executeStepC());
}
catch (function_failed)
{
// -- this block intentionally left empty --
}
executeThisFunctionInAnyCase();
如果你喜欢花哨的语法,你可以通过显式强制转换来让它工作:
struct function_failed {};
struct attempt
{
attempt(bool retval)
{
if (!retval)
throw function_failed();
}
};
然后您可以将代码编写为
try
{
(attempt) executeStepA();
(attempt) executeStepB();
(attempt) executeStepC();
}
catch (function_failed)
{
// -- this block intentionally left empty --
}
executeThisFunctionInAnyCase();
假设你不需要单独的条件变量,反转测试并使用else-falthrough作为“ok”路径,将允许你获得更垂直的if/else语句集:
bool failed = false;
// keep going if we don't fail
if (failed = !executeStepA()) {}
else if (failed = !executeStepB()) {}
else if (failed = !executeStepC()) {}
else if (failed = !executeStepD()) {}
runThisFunctionInAnyCase();
省略失败的变量使代码在我看来有点太晦涩了。
在里面声明变量就可以了,不用担心= vs ==。
// keep going if we don't fail
if (bool failA = !executeStepA()) {}
else if (bool failB = !executeStepB()) {}
else if (bool failC = !executeStepC()) {}
else if (bool failD = !executeStepD()) {}
else {
// success !
}
runThisFunctionInAnyCase();
这很模糊,但很紧凑:
// keep going if we don't fail
if (!executeStepA()) {}
else if (!executeStepB()) {}
else if (!executeStepC()) {}
else if (!executeStepD()) {}
else { /* success */ }
runThisFunctionInAnyCase();
这看起来像一个状态机,这很方便,因为您可以使用状态模式轻松实现它。
在Java中,它看起来像这样:
interface StepState{
public StepState performStep();
}
实现如下所示:
class StepA implements StepState{
public StepState performStep()
{
performAction();
if(condition) return new StepB()
else return null;
}
}
等等。然后你可以将大if条件替换为:
Step toDo = new StepA();
while(toDo != null)
toDo = toDo.performStep();
executeThisFunctionInAnyCase();
在这种情况下,老式的C程序员使用goto。这是goto的一种用法,实际上是Linux样式指南鼓励的,它被称为集中函数exit:
int foo() {
int result = /*some error code*/;
if(!executeStepA()) goto cleanup;
if(!executeStepB()) goto cleanup;
if(!executeStepC()) goto cleanup;
result = 0;
cleanup:
executeThisFunctionInAnyCase();
return result;
}
有些人使用goto的方法是将body包装成一个循环并将其断开,但实际上这两种方法做的是同一件事。如果你只在executeStepA()成功时才需要一些其他的清理,那么goto方法会更好:
int foo() {
int result = /*some error code*/;
if(!executeStepA()) goto cleanupPart;
if(!executeStepB()) goto cleanup;
if(!executeStepC()) goto cleanup;
result = 0;
cleanup:
innerCleanup();
cleanupPart:
executeThisFunctionInAnyCase();
return result;
}
使用循环方法,在这种情况下,您将得到两级循环。
