一位面试官最近问了我这样一个问题:给定三个布尔变量a、b和c，如果三个变量中至少有两个为真，则返回true。
我的解决方案如下:
boolean atLeastTwo(boolean a, boolean b, boolean c) {
if ((a && b) || (b && c) || (a && c)) {
return true;
}
else{
return false;
}
}
他说这还可以进一步改进，但如何改进呢?
当前回答
函数ko返回答案:
static int ho(bool a)
{
return a ? 1 : 0;
}
static bool ko(bool a, bool b, bool c)
{
return ho(a) + ho(b) + ho(c) >= 2 ? true : false;
}
其他回答
这样读起来更好:
if (a) {
return b || c;
}
else {
return b && c;
}
通过真值表计算:
return (a & b) | (c & (a ^ b));
总结一下。它被称为布尔代数是有原因的:
0 x 0 = 0
1 x 0 = 0
1 x 1 = 1
0 + 0 = 0
1 + 0 = 1
1 + 1 = 0 (+ carry)
如果你看那里的真值表，你可以看到乘法是布尔和，而简单的加法是异或。
回答你的问题:
return (a + b + c) >= 2
我想我还没见过这个解决方案:
boolean atLeast(int howMany, boolean[] boolValues) {
// check params for valid values
int counter = 0;
for (boolean b : boolValues) {
if (b) {
counter++;
if (counter == howMany) {
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}
它的优点是一旦达到你要找的数字，它就会崩溃。因此，如果这是“这1,000,000个值中至少有2个是真的”，而前两个值实际上是真的，那么它应该比一些更“正常”的解更快。
One thing I haven't seen others point out is that a standard thing to do in the "please write me some code" section of the job interview is to say "Could you improve that?" or "Are you completely happy with that" or "is that as optimized as possible?" when you say you are done. It's possible you heard "how would you improve that" as "this might be improved; how?". In this case changing the if(x) return true; else return false; idiom to just return x is an improvement - but be aware that there are times they just want to see how you react to the question. I have heard that some interviewers will insist there is a flaw in perfect code just to see how you cope with it.
