在c#中合并2个或更多字典(Dictionary<TKey, TValue>)的最佳方法是什么? (像LINQ这样的3.0特性就可以了)。

我正在考虑一个方法签名,如下所示:

public static Dictionary<TKey,TValue>
                 Merge<TKey,TValue>(Dictionary<TKey,TValue>[] dictionaries);

or

public static Dictionary<TKey,TValue>
                 Merge<TKey,TValue>(IEnumerable<Dictionary<TKey,TValue>> dictionaries);

关于重复键的处理:在发生冲突的情况下,保存到字典中的值并不重要,只要它是一致的。

如何添加一个参数重载?

此外,您应该将它们输入为dictionary以获得最大的灵活性。

public static IDictionary<TKey, TValue> Merge<TKey, TValue>(IEnumerable<IDictionary<TKey, TValue>> dictionaries)
{
    // ...
}

public static IDictionary<TKey, TValue> Merge<TKey, TValue>(params IDictionary<TKey, TValue>[] dictionaries)
{
    return Merge((IEnumerable<TKey, TValue>) dictionaries);
}

其他回答

public static IDictionary<K, V> AddRange<K, V>(this IDictionary<K, V> one, IDictionary<K, V> two)
        {
            foreach (var kvp in two)
            {
                if (one.ContainsKey(kvp.Key))
                    one[kvp.Key] = two[kvp.Key];
                else
                    one.Add(kvp.Key, kvp.Value);
            }
            return one;
        }

如果有多个键(“右”键取代“左”键),这不会爆炸,可以合并一些字典(如果需要),并保留类型(限制它需要一个有意义的默认公共构造函数):

public static class DictionaryExtensions
{
    // Works in C#3/VS2008:
    // Returns a new dictionary of this ... others merged leftward.
    // Keeps the type of 'this', which must be default-instantiable.
    // Example: 
    //   result = map.MergeLeft(other1, other2, ...)
    public static T MergeLeft<T,K,V>(this T me, params IDictionary<K,V>[] others)
        where T : IDictionary<K,V>, new()
    {
        T newMap = new T();
        foreach (IDictionary<K,V> src in
            (new List<IDictionary<K,V>> { me }).Concat(others)) {
            // ^-- echk. Not quite there type-system.
            foreach (KeyValuePair<K,V> p in src) {
                newMap[p.Key] = p.Value;
            }
        }
        return newMap;
    }

}

选项1:这取决于在确定两个字典中都没有重复键的情况下想要发生什么。比你能做的:

var result = dictionary1.Union(dictionary2).ToDictionary(k => k.Key, v => v.Value)

注意:如果在字典中获得任何重复的键,将抛出错误。

选项2:如果你可以有重复的键,那么你必须使用where子句来处理重复的键。

var result = dictionary1.Union(dictionary2.Where(k => !dictionary1.ContainsKey(k.Key))).ToDictionary(k => k.Key, v => v.Value)

注意:它不会得到重复的密钥。如果有任何重复的键,那么它将获得dictionary1的键。

选项3:如果你想使用ToLookup。然后您将得到一个查找,每个键可以有多个值。你可以把这个查找转换成一个字典:

var result = dictionaries.SelectMany(dict => dict)
                         .ToLookup(pair => pair.Key, pair => pair.Value)
                         .ToDictionary(group => group.Key, group => group.First());

对于c#新手来说,我害怕看到复杂的答案。

这里有一些简单的答案。 合并d1 d2,等等。字典和处理任何重叠键(“b”在下面的例子中):

示例1

{
    // 2 dictionaries,  "b" key is common with different values

    var d1 = new Dictionary<string, int>() { { "a", 10 }, { "b", 21 } };
    var d2 = new Dictionary<string, int>() { { "c", 30 }, { "b", 22 } };

    var result1 = d1.Concat(d2).GroupBy(ele => ele.Key).ToDictionary(ele => ele.Key, ele => ele.First().Value);
    // result1 is  a=10, b=21, c=30    That is, took the "b" value of the first dictionary

    var result2 = d1.Concat(d2).GroupBy(ele => ele.Key).ToDictionary(ele => ele.Key, ele => ele.Last().Value);
    // result2 is  a=10, b=22, c=30    That is, took the "b" value of the last dictionary
}

示例2

{
    // 3 dictionaries,  "b" key is common with different values

    var d1 = new Dictionary<string, int>() { { "a", 10 }, { "b", 21 } };
    var d2 = new Dictionary<string, int>() { { "c", 30 }, { "b", 22 } };
    var d3 = new Dictionary<string, int>() { { "d", 40 }, { "b", 23 } };

    var result1 = d1.Concat(d2).Concat(d3).GroupBy(ele => ele.Key).ToDictionary(ele => ele.Key, ele => ele.First().Value);
    // result1 is  a=10, b=21, c=30, d=40    That is, took the "b" value of the first dictionary

    var result2 = d1.Concat(d2).Concat(d3).GroupBy(ele => ele.Key).ToDictionary(ele => ele.Key, ele => ele.Last().Value);
    // result2 is  a=10, b=23, c=30, d=40    That is, took the "b" value of the last dictionary
}

对于更复杂的场景,请参见其他答案。 希望这有帮助。

与之前没有LINQ的情况下再次简化,如果存在则使用bool默认值非破坏性合并,如果为true则完全覆盖,而不是使用enum。它仍然适合我自己的需要,而不需要任何花哨的代码:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

public static partial class Extensions
{
    public static void Merge<K, V>(this IDictionary<K, V> target, 
                                   IDictionary<K, V> source, 
                                   bool overwrite = false)
    {
        foreach (KeyValuePair _ in source)
            if (overwrite || !target.ContainsKey(_.Key))
                target[_.Key] = _.Value;
    }
}
