我正在尝试实现一个解决这个问题的程序:
if you are given a specific number (for example : 268)
and another 6 numbers (for example : 2,4,5,25,75,100)
如何找到给出准确答案或最接近答案的操作？
您可以使用此操作回答前面的示例:75*4-25-5-2 = 268
规则:
- 您可以使用这些算术运算:+、-、*、/、()。
- 当你使用除法时，提醒必须等于 0(6/3 可以，但 6/4 不行!)。
- 您不能多次使用同一个号码。 此外，您可以避免使用数字(例如:我们的 100 前面的例子)。
有没有比写下所有可能性并取最接近的可能性更好的解决方案？因为这个答案会迫使我写太多行代码，谢谢!
最佳答案
事实上，暴力解决方案真的不是那么多代码
(编辑:稍微更改了代码，因为未正确考虑某些规则)

}
static class Node

Node(Node left, Character op, Node right)
{
this.left = left;
this.op = op;
this.right = right;

Integer evaluate()
{
if (op != null)
{
Integer lv = left.evaluate();
Integer rv = right.evaluate();
switch (op)
{
case '+': return lv + rv;
case '-': return lv - rv;
case '*': return lv * rv;
case '/': return rv.equals(0) ? Integer.MAX_VALUE : lv / rv;
}
}
return value;
}
@Override
public String toString()
{
if (op == null)
{
return String.valueOf(value);

return "("+left.toString()+op+right.toString()+")";

}
它找到了很多解决方案....

当然，由于可交换性，其中许多都是多余的。
人们可以轻松避免在暴力变体中检查的许多解决方案。第一步可能是避免创建包含可交换元素的节点，并可能为我草拟的快速而肮脏的 Node 类实现 equals 方法在那里，它考虑了交换性，然后使用 Set 节点而不是 List。此外，“简单”、“低级”优化也是可能的(例如，在找到完美匹配时提前返回)。
关于您的实际问题，是否有比蛮力“更好”的解决方案:我的直觉是答案是否定的，但这取决于应该解决哪个问题。关键点在这里:假设给定了一个可用数字列表和一个期望的结果值。并假设不可能从给定的输入值创建结果值。例如。当你有
input = { 1,2,3,4,5,6 }
result = 10000000000;
我认为，为了真正证明这是不可能的，您必须枚举所有组合(最后返回“最佳”组合，此处可能是 1*2*3*4*5*6)。如果您跳过任何组合，您应该如何确定它不是最佳组合？
但再次声明:这只是一种直觉。也许更多……数学方面的人……可以证明我错了……
