在递归调用python中交换列表元素

Question

我想在列表中创建简单的函数交换随机元素。 但它在递归调用中不起作用。

在第一次递归调用中，元素交换工作，但嵌套递归调用（或第一次递归调用中的嵌套递归调用）不起作用。

我不知道为什么只交换第一次递归调用工作。

以下是结果。

谢谢你们。

def change(lst):
    if len(lst)>4:
        a, b = np.random.randint(0, len(lst)), np.random.randint(0, len(lst))
        print(lst)
        lst[a], lst[b] = lst[b], lst[a]
        print(lst)
        mid = int(len(lst)/2)
        change(lst[:mid])
        change(lst[mid:])
k = list(range(0, 20))
change(k)
print(k)

[10, 11, 12, 13, 14]
[10, 14, 12, 13, 11]
[15, 16, 17, 18, 1]
[15, 16, 17, 18, 1]
[0, 19, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 1] <= result. 

Answer 1

那是因为你通过lst[:mid] ， lst[mid:]创建原始列表的副本 。 解决方案是传递给change()相同的列表和（单独）要处理的范围。

Answer 2

问题在于你的递归调用：

change(lst[:mid])
change(lst[mid:])

你使用切片操作符 。 切片运算符构造一个新列表 ，因此您的更改将在新列表中进行 ，并且不会反映在原始列表中（因为它是一个副本 ）。

您可以做的是使用索引：

def change(lst,frm=0,to=None):
    if to is None: # set the default to the end of the list to = len(lst)
    if to-frm > 4:
        a, b = np.random.randint(frm,to), np.random.randint(frm,to)
        print(lst)
        lst[a], lst[b] = lst[b], lst[a]
        print(lst)
        mid = (frm+to)//2
        change(lst,frm,mid)
        change(lst,mid,to)

然后我们获得：

>>> k = list(range(0, 20))
>>> change(k)
