C#优先级队列

mpe*_*pen 7 c# queue data-structures

我正在寻找一个具有如下界面的优先级队列:

class PriorityQueue<T>
{
    public void Enqueue(T item, int priority)
    {
    }

    public T Dequeue()
    {
    }
}

我见过的所有实现都假设这item是一个IComparable但我不喜欢这种方法; 我想在将其推入队列时指定优先级.

如果不存在现成的实现,那么自己做这个的最佳方法是什么?我应该使用什么底层数据结构?某种自平衡树,还是什么?标准的C#.net结构会很好.

如果您有基于IComparable的现有优先级队列实现,则可以轻松地使用它来构建所需的结构:

public class CustomPriorityQueue<T>  // where T need NOT be IComparable
{
  private class PriorityQueueItem : IComparable<PriorityQueueItem>
  {
    private readonly T _item;
    private readonly int _priority:

    // obvious constructor, CompareTo implementation and Item accessor
  }

  // the existing PQ implementation where the item *does* need to be IComparable
  private readonly PriorityQueue<PriorityQueueItem> _inner = new PriorityQueue<PriorityQueueItem>();

  public void Enqueue(T item, int priority)
  {
    _inner.Enqueue(new PriorityQueueItem(item, priority));
  }

  public T Dequeue()
  {
    return _inner.Dequeue().Item;
  }
}

您可以添加安全检查,但不是,但这是一个非常简单的实现,使用SortedList:

class PriorityQueue<T> {
    SortedList<Pair<int>, T> _list;
    int count;

    public PriorityQueue() {
        _list = new SortedList<Pair<int>, T>(new PairComparer<int>());
    }

    public void Enqueue(T item, int priority) {
        _list.Add(new Pair<int>(priority, count), item);
        count++;
    }

    public T Dequeue() {
        T item = _list[_list.Keys[0]];
        _list.RemoveAt(0);
        return item;
    }
}

我假设较小的值priority对应于较高优先级的项目(这很容易修改).

如果多个线程将访问队列,您还需要添加锁定机制.这很简单,但如果您需要这里的指导,请告诉我.

SortedList 在内部实现为二叉树.

上面的实现需要以下帮助器类.这解决了Lasse V. Karlsen的评论,即使用a的naive实现无法添加具有相同优先级的项目SortedList.

class Pair<T> {
    public T First { get; private set; }
    public T Second { get; private set; }

    public Pair(T first, T second) {
        First = first;
        Second = second;
    }

    public override int GetHashCode() {
        return First.GetHashCode() ^ Second.GetHashCode();
    }

    public override bool Equals(object other) {
        Pair<T> pair = other as Pair<T>;
        if (pair == null) {
            return false;
        }
        return (this.First.Equals(pair.First) && this.Second.Equals(pair.Second));
    }
}

class PairComparer<T> : IComparer<Pair<T>> where T : IComparable {
    public int Compare(Pair<T> x, Pair<T> y) {
        if (x.First.CompareTo(y.First) < 0) {
            return -1;
        }
        else if (x.First.CompareTo(y.First) > 0) {
            return 1;
        }
        else {
            return x.Second.CompareTo(y.Second);
        }
    }

  • SortedList的问题在于它不允许重复优先级,因此它会强制您确保唯一的优先级. (3认同)

您可以围绕一个现有实现编写一个包装器,根据您的偏好修改接口:

using System;

class PriorityQueueThatYouDontLike<T> where T: IComparable<T>
{
    public void Enqueue(T item) { throw new NotImplementedException(); }
    public T Dequeue() { throw new NotImplementedException(); }
}

class PriorityQueue<T>
{
    class ItemWithPriority : IComparable<ItemWithPriority>
    {
        public ItemWithPriority(T t, int priority)
        {
            Item = t;
            Priority = priority;
        }

        public T Item {get; private set;}
        public int Priority {get; private set;}

        public int CompareTo(ItemWithPriority other)
        {
            return Priority.CompareTo(other.Priority);
        }
    }

    PriorityQueueThatYouDontLike<ItemWithPriority> q = new PriorityQueueThatYouDontLike<ItemWithPriority>();

    public void Enqueue(T item, int priority)
    {
        q.Enqueue(new ItemWithPriority(item, priority));
    }

    public T Dequeue()
    {
        return q.Dequeue().Item;
    }
}

这与itowlson的建议相同.我花了更长的时间来写我的,因为我填写了更多的方法.:-s

这是一个非常简单的轻量级实现,它具有推送和弹出的O(log(n))性能.它使用构建在List <T>之上的堆数据结构.

/// <summary>Implements a priority queue of T, where T has an ordering.</summary>
/// Elements may be added to the queue in any order, but when we pull
/// elements out of the queue, they will be returned in 'ascending' order.
/// Adding new elements into the queue may be done at any time, so this is
/// useful to implement a dynamically growing and shrinking queue. Both adding
/// an element and removing the first element are log(N) operations. 
/// 
/// The queue is implemented using a priority-heap data structure. For more 
/// details on this elegant and simple data structure see "Programming Pearls"
/// in our library. The tree is implemented atop a list, where 2N and 2N+1 are
/// the child nodes of node N. The tree is balanced and left-aligned so there
/// are no 'holes' in this list. 
/// <typeparam name="T">Type T, should implement IComparable[T];</typeparam>
public class PriorityQueue<T> where T : IComparable<T> {
   /// <summary>Clear all the elements from the priority queue</summary>

      // tree). Then, the heap-property could be violated between this element
      // and it's parent. If this is the case, we swap this element with the 
      // parent (a safe operation to do since the element is known to be less
      // than it's parent). Now the element move one level up the tree. We repeat
      // this test with the element and it's new parent. The element, if lesser
      // than everybody else in the tree will eventually bubble all the way up
      // to the root of the tree (or the head of the list). It is easy to see 
      // this will take log(N) time, since we are working with a balanced binary

      // it with it's lower child until it reaches it's correct level. The lower

  • 澄清一下:这个 PriorityQueue&lt;T&gt; 使用的空间不超过普通 List&lt;T&gt; 并且具有 log(n) 插入和删除性能。 (2认同)
  • O(1)删除意味着您始终保持排序列表.这将导致插入天真案例(重新排序)的*log(n)时间.如果你使用一个简单的线性列表并进行二进制搜索然后插入,那么仍然需要花费O(n)时间来插入(移动元素以腾出空间).并且,任何基于树的算法(如SortedList)都将是O(log(n))用于插入和删除(因为它将花费O(log(n))来重新平衡树).所以,我不确定我们是否可以用O(log(n))插入实际去除O(1). (2认同)

这是我高度优化的 C# priority-queue使用的确切接口。

它是专门为寻路应用程序(A* 等)开发的,但也适用于任何其他应用程序。

public class User
{
    public string Name { get; private set; }
    public User(string name)
    {
        Name = name;
    }
}

...

var priorityQueue = new SimplePriorityQueue<User>();
priorityQueue.Enqueue(new User("Jason"), 1);
priorityQueue.Enqueue(new User("Joseph"), 10);

//Because it's a min-priority queue, the following line will return "Jason"
User user = priorityQueue.Dequeue();
