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?

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

这个怎么样:
(a - b) ? c : a

回答你的问题:
return (a + b + c) >= 2
我相信使用普通的布尔运算符(a || b) && (b || c)是很好的，而且更简单。
你可以把这三个字母中的任意一个和另外两个字母中的任意一个交换它仍然是相同的表达式。
字面解释适用于所有主要语言:
return (a ? 1:0) + (b ? 1:0) + (c ? 1:0) >= 2;
但是我可能会让人们更容易阅读，并且扩展到三个以上——这一点似乎被许多程序员遗忘了:
boolean testBooleans(Array bools)
{
int minTrue = ceil(bools.length * .5);
int trueCount = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < bools.length; i++)
{
if(bools[i])
{
trueCount++;
}
}
return trueCount >= minTrue;
}
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.
