Josephus Permutation(约瑟夫环)
codewars约瑟夫环问题
This problem takes its name by arguably the most important event in the life of the ancient historian Josephus: according to his tale, he and his 40 soldiers were trapped in a cave by the Romans during a siege.
Refusing to surrender to the enemy, they instead opted for mass suicide, with a twist: they formed a circle and proceeded to kill one man every three, until one last man was left (and that it was supposed to kill himself to end the act).
Well, Josephus and another man were the last two and, as we now know every detail of the story, you may have correctly guessed that they didn’t exactly follow through the original idea.
You are now to create a function that returns a Josephus permutation, taking as parameters the initial array/list of items to be permuted as if they were in a circle and counted out every k places until none remained.
Tips and notes: it helps to start counting from 1 up to n, instead of the usual range 0…n-1; k will always be >=1.
For example, with n=7 and k=3
josephus(7,3)
should act this way.[1,2,3,4,5,6,7] - initial sequence [1,2,4,5,6,7] => 3 is counted out and goes into the result [3] [1,2,4,5,7] => 6 is counted out and goes into the result [3,6] [1,4,5,7] => 2 is counted out and goes into the result [3,6,2] [1,4,5] => 7 is counted out and goes into the result [3,6,2,7] [1,4] => 5 is counted out and goes into the result [3,6,2,7,5] [4] => 1 is counted out and goes into the result [3,6,2,7,5,1] [] => 4 is counted out and goes into the result [3,6,2,7,5,1,4]
So our final result is:
josephus([1,2,3,4,5,6,7],3)==[3,6,2,7,5,1,4]
约瑟夫问题,n个人围成一个圈,开始从1报数,1 2 3,1 2 3,1 2 3的这样报数,报到3的人被杀死,问最后剩下哪个人,需要将杀死的人的顺序输出。
每次循环都需要计算出局者的索引,初始化count = 0
,索引计算方法:
count = (count + k - 1) % 集合size
public static <T> List<T> josephusPermutation(final List<T> items, final int k) {List<T> res = new ArrayList<T>();int count = 0;while (items.size() > 0) {count = (count + k - 1) % items.size();res.add(items.remove(count));}return res;}
