给定一个函数,它产生的是1到5之间的随机整数,写一个函数,它产生的是1到7之间的随机整数。
当前回答
int rand7()
{
return ( rand5() + (rand5()%3) );
}
rand5() -返回1-5之间的值 rand5()%3 -返回0-2之间的值 所以,当加起来时,总价值将在1-7之间

以下是我的回答:
static struct rand_buffer {
unsigned v, count;
} buf2, buf3;
void push (struct rand_buffer *buf, unsigned n, unsigned v)
{
buf->v = buf->v * n + v;
++buf->count;
}
#define PUSH(n, v) push (&buf##n, n, v)
int rand16 (void)
{
int v = buf2.v & 0xf;
buf2.v >>= 4;
buf2.count -= 4;
return v;
}
int rand9 (void)
{
int v = buf3.v % 9;
buf3.v /= 9;
buf3.count -= 2;
return v;
}
int rand7 (void)
{
if (buf3.count >= 2) {
int v = rand9 ();
if (v < 7)
return v % 7 + 1;
PUSH (2, v - 7);
}
for (;;) {
if (buf2.count >= 4) {
int v = rand16 ();
if (v < 14) {
PUSH (2, v / 7);
return v % 7 + 1;
}
PUSH (2, v - 14);
}
// Get a number between 0 & 25
int v = 5 * (rand5 () - 1) + rand5 () - 1;
if (v < 21) {
PUSH (3, v / 7);
return v % 7 + 1;
}
v -= 21;
PUSH (2, v & 1);
PUSH (2, v >> 1);
}
}
它比其他的稍微复杂一点,但我相信它最小化了对rand5的调用。与其他解决方案一样,它有小概率会循环很长时间。
简单的解决方案已经被很好地覆盖了:为一个random7结果取两个random5样本,如果结果超出了产生均匀分布的范围,就重新做一次。如果你的目标是减少对random5的调用次数,这是非常浪费的——对于每个random7输出,对random5的平均调用次数是2.38,而不是2,这是由于丢弃样本的数量。
你可以通过使用更多的random5输入一次生成多个random7输出来做得更好。对于使用31位整数计算的结果,最优结果是使用12次调用random5生成9个random7输出,平均每个输出调用1.34次。它是高效的,因为244140625个结果中只有2018983个需要废弃,或者不到1%。
Python演示:
def random5():
return random.randint(1, 5)
def random7gen(n):
count = 0
while n > 0:
samples = 6 * 7**9
while samples >= 6 * 7**9:
samples = 0
for i in range(12):
samples = samples * 5 + random5() - 1
count += 1
samples //= 6
for outputs in range(9):
yield samples % 7 + 1, count
samples //= 7
count = 0
n -= 1
if n == 0: break
>>> from collections import Counter
>>> Counter(x for x,i in random7gen(10000000))
Counter({2: 1430293, 4: 1429298, 1: 1428832, 7: 1428571, 3: 1428204, 5: 1428134, 6: 1426668})
>>> sum(i for x,i in random7gen(10000000)) / 10000000.0
1.344606
通过使用滚动总数,您可以同时
保持平均分配;而且 不需要牺牲随机序列中的任何元素。
这两个问题都是简单的rand(5)+rand(5)…类型的解决方案。下面的Python代码展示了如何实现它(其中大部分是证明发行版)。
import random
x = []
for i in range (0,7):
x.append (0)
t = 0
tt = 0
for i in range (0,700000):
########################################
##### qq.py #####
r = int (random.random () * 5)
t = (t + r) % 7
########################################
##### qq_notsogood.py #####
#r = 20
#while r > 6:
#r = int (random.random () * 5)
#r = r + int (random.random () * 5)
#t = r
########################################
x[t] = x[t] + 1
tt = tt + 1
high = x[0]
low = x[0]
for i in range (0,7):
print "%d: %7d %.5f" % (i, x[i], 100.0 * x[i] / tt)
if x[i] < low:
low = x[i]
if x[i] > high:
high = x[i]
diff = high - low
print "Variation = %d (%.5f%%)" % (diff, 100.0 * diff / tt)
这个输出显示了结果:

并且,根据Nixuz的建议,我已经清理了脚本,所以您可以提取并使用rand7…材料:
import random
# rand5() returns 0 through 4 inclusive.
def rand5():
return int (random.random () * 5)
# rand7() generator returns 0 through 6 inclusive (using rand5()).
def rand7():
rand7ret = 0
while True:
rand7ret = (rand7ret + rand5()) % 7
yield rand7ret
# Number of test runs.
count = 700000
# Work out distribution.
distrib = [0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
rgen =rand7()
for i in range (0,count):
r = rgen.next()
distrib[r] = distrib[r] + 1
# Print distributions and calculate variation.
high = distrib[0]
low = distrib[0]
for i in range (0,7):
print "%d: %7d %.5f" % (i, distrib[i], 100.0 * distrib[i] / count)
if distrib[i] < low:
low = distrib[i]
if distrib[i] > high:
high = distrib[i]
diff = high - low
print "Variation = %d (%.5f%%)" % (diff, 100.0 * diff / count)
为什么不简单一点呢?
int random7() {
return random5() + (random5() % 3);
}
由于取模,在这个解中得到1和7的几率较低,然而,如果你只是想要一个快速和可读的解,这是一种方法。
这里允许作业题吗?
这个函数进行粗略的“以5为基数”的数学运算,生成0到6之间的数字。
function rnd7() {
do {
r1 = rnd5() - 1;
do {
r2=rnd5() - 1;
} while (r2 > 1);
result = r2 * 5 + r1;
} while (result > 6);
return result + 1;
}
