如何通过依赖关系对依赖对象进行排序

Question

我有一个集合:

List<VPair<Item, List<Item>> dependencyHierarchy;

对中的第一项是某个对象(项),第二项是第一项依赖的相同类型对象的集合.我希望得到一个List<Item>依赖顺序,所以没有依赖于第一个元素的项目等等(没有循环依赖!).

输入:

Item4 depends on Item3 and Item5
Item3 depends on Item1
Item1 does not depend on any one
Item2 depends on Item4 
Item5 does not depend on any one 

结果:

Item1
Item5
Item3
Item4
Item2

谢谢.

解:

拓扑排序(感谢LoïcFévrier的想法)

和

例如在C#中,例如Java的 (感谢xcud伟大的例子)

Answer 1

经过一段时间的努力,这是我尝试使用Linq风格的TSort扩展方法:

public static IEnumerable<T> TSort<T>( this IEnumerable<T> source, Func<T, IEnumerable<T>> dependencies, bool throwOnCycle = false )
{
    var sorted = new List<T>();
    var visited = new HashSet<T>();

    foreach( var item in source )
        Visit( item, visited, sorted, dependencies, throwOnCycle );

    return sorted;
}

private static void Visit<T>( T item, HashSet<T> visited, List<T> sorted, Func<T, IEnumerable<T>> dependencies, bool throwOnCycle )
{
    if( !visited.Contains( item ) )
    {
        visited.Add( item );

        foreach( var dep in dependencies( item ) )
            Visit( dep, visited, sorted, dependencies, throwOnCycle );

        sorted.Add( item );
    }
    else
    {
        if( throwOnCycle && !sorted.Contains( item ) )
            throw new Exception( "Cyclic dependency found" );
    }
}

使用拓扑排序的完美示例:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_sorting

它将为您提供您所需要的.

Answer 3

这有一个难题.

对于我们这些不想重新发明轮子的人:使用nuget安装QuickGraph .NET库,其中包括多种图形算法,包括拓扑排序.

要使用它,您需要创建一个AdjacencyGraph<,>这样的实例AdjacencyGraph<String, SEdge<String>>.然后,如果您包含适当的扩展名:

using QuickGraph.Algorithms;

你可以打电话:

var sorted = myGraph.TopologicalSort();

获取已排序节点的列表.

Answer 4

我喜欢DMM的答案,但它假设输入节点是叶子(可能是也可能不是预期的).

我发布了一个使用LINQ的替代解决方案,但没有做出这个假设.此外,该解决方案用于yield return能够快速返回叶子(例如使用TakeWhile).

public static IEnumerable<T> TopologicalSort<T>(this IEnumerable<T> nodes, 
                                                Func<T, IEnumerable<T>> connected)
{
    var elems = nodes.ToDictionary(node => node, 
                                   node => new HashSet<T>(connected(node)));
    while (elems.Count > 0)
    {
        var elem = elems.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Value.Count == 0);
        if (elem.Key == null)
        {
            throw new ArgumentException("Cyclic connections are not allowed");
        }
        elems.Remove(elem.Key);
        foreach (var selem in elems)
        {
            selem.Value.Remove(elem.Key);
        }
        yield return elem.Key;
    }
}

Answer 5

这是我自己重新实现的拓扑排序,这个想法是基于http://tawani.blogspot.com/2009/02/topological-sorting-and-cyclic.html(移植的Java源代码消耗太多内存,检查50k对象的成本是50k*50k*4 = 10GB这是不可接受的.此外,它还有一些地方的Java编码约定)
