找到与其他单词共同的大多数字母的单词

时间:2011-07-10 05:04:57

标签: perl find letter

我希望Perl(5.8.8)找出哪个单词与数组中的其他单词具有最多共同字母 - 但只能找到位于同一位置的字母。 (最好不使用libs。)

以这个单词列表为例:

  • BAKER
  • SALER
  • BALER
  • CARER
  • RUFFR

她的BALER是与其他人共有最多字母的词。它匹配BAKER中的BAxER,SALER中的xALER,CARER中的xAxER和RUFFR中的xxxxR。

我希望Perl能够在具有相同长度和大小写的任意单词列表中为我找到这个单词。似乎我在这里碰壁了,所以非常感谢帮助!

到目前为止我一直在尝试

目前没有太多的脚本:

use strict;
use warnings; 
my @wordlist = qw(BAKER SALER MALER BARER RUFFR);
foreach my $word (@wordlist) {
    my @letters = split(//, $word);
    # now trip trough each iteration and work magic...
}

评论在哪里,我尝试了几种代码,包括for-loops和++ varables。到目前为止,我的尝试都没有完成我需要做的事情。

所以,为了更好地解释:我需要的是逐字逐句地测试,对于每个字母位置,找到与列表中其他字母具有最多共同字母的单词,在该字母的位置位置。

一种可能的方法是首先检查哪个单词在字母位置0处最常见,然后测试字母位置1,依此类推,直到找到总和中字数最多的单词与列表中的其他单词一样。然后我想打印列表,就像一个矩阵,每个字母位置的分数加上每个单词的总分,与DavidO建议的不同。

您实际上最终得到的是每个单词的矩阵,每个字母位置的分数,以及矩阵中每个单词前后的总分。

该计划的目的

呵呵,我不妨这么说:该节目是针对游戏中的黑客终端辐射3.:D我的想法是,这是学习Perl同时玩得开心的好方法。

这是我用于研究的Fallout 3终端黑客教程之一:FALLOUT 3: Hacking FAQ v1.2,我已经制定了一个缩短单词列表的程序,如下所示:

#!/usr/bin/perl
# See if one word has equal letters as the other, and how many of them are equal
use strict;
use warnings; 

my $checkword = "APPRECIATION"; # the word to be checked
my $match = 4; # equal to the match you got from testing your checkword
my @checkletters = split(//, $checkword); #/

my @wordlist = qw(
    PARTNERSHIPS
    REPRIMANDING
    CIVILIZATION
    APPRECIATION
    CONVERSATION
    CIRCUMSTANCE
    PURIFICATION
    SECLUSIONIST
    CONSTRUCTION
    DISAPPEARING
    TRANSMISSION
    APPREHENSIVE
    ENCOUNTERING
);

print "$checkword has $match letters in common with:\n";

foreach my $word (@wordlist) {
    next if $word eq $checkword;
    my @letters = split(//, $word);
    my $length = @letters; # determine length of array (how many letters to check)

    my $eq_letters = 0; # reset to 0 for every new word to be tested
    for (my $i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
        if ($letters[$i] eq $checkletters[$i]) {
            $eq_letters++;
        }
    }
    if ($eq_letters == $match) {
        print "$word\n";
    }
}
# Now to make a script on to find the best word to check in the first place...

此脚本将生成CONSTRUCTIONTRANSMISSION作为结果,就像游戏常见问题解答一样。原始问题的诀窍(以及我自己无法找到的东西)是如何找到最好的单词来尝试,即APPRECIATION

好的,我现在已根据您的帮助提供了我自己的解决方案,并认为此线程已关闭。很多,非常感谢所有的贡献者。你帮助很大,而且我也学到了很多东西。:D

这是一种方式。重新阅读你的规范几次,我认为这就是你要找的东西。

值得一提的是,有可能会有多个单词得分相同的单词。从你的列表中只有一个赢家,但有可能在更长的列表中,会有几个同样获胜的单词。该解决方案涉及到这一点。此外,据我所知,只有当字母匹配出现在每个单词的同一列时,才会计算字母匹配。如果是这种情况,这是一个有效的解决方案:

use 5.012;
use strict;
use warnings;
use List::Util 'max';

my @words = qw/
    BAKER
    SALER
    BALER
    CARER
    RUFFR
/;

my @scores;
foreach my $word ( @words ) {
    my $score;
    foreach my $comp_word ( @words ) {
        next if $comp_word eq $word;
        foreach my $pos ( 0 .. ( length $word ) - 1 ) {
            $score++ if substr( $word, $pos, 1 ) eq substr( $comp_word, $pos, 1);
        }
    }
    push @scores, $score;
}
my $max = max( @scores );
my ( @max_ixs ) = grep { $scores[$_] == $max } 0 .. $#scores;

say "Words with most matches:";
say for @words[@max_ixs];

此解决方案计算每个字母列的每个字母与其他字词匹配的次数。例如:

Words:     Scores:       Because:
ABC        1, 2, 1 = 4   A matched once,  B matched twice, C matched once.
ABD        1, 2, 1 = 4   A matched once,  B matched twice, D matched once.
CBD        0, 2, 1 = 3   C never matched, B matched twice, D matched once.
BAC        0, 0, 1 = 1   B never matched, A never matched, C matched once.

这将为您提供ABC和ABD的获胜者,每个人都有四个位置匹配的分数。即,第一列,第一行与第一行第二行,第三行和第四行匹配的累积时间,以及后续列的依此类推。 它可能能够进一步优化,并且重新措辞更短,但我试图保持逻辑相当容易阅读。享受!

更新/编辑 我想到了它,并意识到虽然我现有的方法完全按照原始问题的要求进行,但它在O(n ^ 2)时间内完成,这相对较慢。但是如果我们对每个列的字母使用哈希键(每个键一个字母),并计算每个字母在列中出现的次数(作为哈希元素的值),我们可以在O(1)中进行求和。 )时间,以及我们在O(n * c)时间内遍历列表(其中c是列数,n是单词数)。还有一些设置时间(创建哈希)。但我们仍然有很大的进步。这是每种技术的新版本,以及每种技术的基准比较。

    my $max = max( @scores );
    my ( @max_ixs ) = grep { $scores[$_] == $max } 0 .. $#scores;
    return( $max, \@max_ixs );
}

输出结果为:

APPRECIATION
Testing hash  method: 39 matches.
APPRECIATION
        Rate Force  Hash
Force 2358/s    --  -74%
Hash  9132/s  287%    --

我看到你看到其他一些选项之后你的原始规格发生了变化,这在某种程度上是创新的本质,但这个难题仍然存在于我的脑海中。如您所见,我的哈希方法比原始方法快287%。在更短的时间内获得更多乐趣!

作为一个起点,您可以有效地检查他们共有多少个字母:

$count = ($word1 ^ $word2) =~ y/\0//;

但这只有在你遍历所有可能的单词对时才有用,在这种情况下这是不必要的:

use strict;
use warnings;
my @words = qw/
    BAKER
    SALER
    BALER
    CARER
    RUFFR
/;

# you want a hash to indicate which letters are present how many times in each position:

my %count;
for my $word (@words) {
    my @letters = split //, $word;
    $count{$_}{ $letters[$_] }++ for 0..$#letters;
}

# then for any given word, you get the count for each of its letters minus one (because the word itself is included in the count), and see if it is a maximum (so far) for any position or for the total:

my %max_common_letters_count;
my %max_common_letters_words;
for my $word (@words) {
    my @letters = split //, $word;
    my $total;
    for my $position (0..$#letters, 'total') {
        my $count;
        if ( $position eq 'total' ) {
            $count = $total;
        }
        else {
            $count = $count{$position}{ $letters[$position] } - 1;
            $total += $count;
        }
        if ( ! $max_common_letters_count{$position} || $count >= $max_common_letters_count{$position} ) {
            if ( $max_common_letters_count{$position} && $count == $max_common_letters_count{$position} ) {
                push @{ $max_common_letters_words{$position} }, $word;
            }
            else {
                $max_common_letters_count{$position} = $count;
                $max_common_letters_words{$position} = [ $word ];
            }
        }
    }
}

# then show the maximum words for each position and in total: 

for my $position ( sort { $a <=> $b } grep $_ ne 'total', keys %max_common_letters_count ) {
    printf( "Position %s had a maximum of common letters of %s in words: %s\n",
        $position,
        $max_common_letters_count{$position},
        join(', ', @{ $max_common_letters_words{$position} })
    );
}
printf( "The maximum total common letters was %s in words(s): %s\n",
    $max_common_letters_count{'total'},
    join(', ', @{ $max_common_letters_words{'total'} })
);

答案 2 :(得分:4)

这是一个完整的脚本。它使用与ysth提到的相同的想法(虽然我独立地拥有它)。使用按位xor组合字符串,然后计算结果中的NUL数。只要您的字符串是ASCII,就会告诉您有多少匹配的字母。 (这种比较区分大小写,我不确定如果字符串是UTF-8会发生什么。可能没什么好处。)

use strict;
use warnings;
use 5.010;

use List::Util qw(max);

sub findMatches
{
  my ($words) = @_;

  # Compare each word to every other word:
  my @matches = (0) x @$words;

  for my $i (0 .. $#$words-1) {
    for my $j ($i+1 .. $#$words) {
      my $m = ($words->[$i] ^ $words->[$j]) =~ tr/\0//;

      $matches[$i] += $m;
      $matches[$j] += $m;
    }
  }

  # Find how many matches in the best word:
  my $max = max(@matches);

  # Find the words with that many matches:
  my @wanted = grep { $matches[$_] == $max } 0 .. $#matches;

  wantarray ? @$words[@wanted] : $words->[$wanted[0]];
} # end findMatches

my @words = qw(
    BAKER
    SALER
    BALER
    CARER
    RUFFR
);

say for findMatches(\@words);

答案 3 :(得分:2)

有一段时间没有触及perl,所以伪代码就是这样。这不是最快的算法,但它适用于少量单词。

totals = new map #e.g. an object to map :key => :value

for each word a
  for each word b
    next if a equals b

    totals[a] = 0
    for i from 1 to a.length
      if a[i] == b[i]
        totals[a] += 1
      end
    end
  end
end

return totals.sort_by_key.last

很抱歉缺少perl,但是如果你将它编码为perl,它应该像魅力一样。

关于运行时的快速说明:这将在时间 number_of_words ^ 2 * length_of_words 中运行,因此在包含100个单词的列表中,每个单词长度为10个字符,这将在100,000个周期内运行,适合大多数应用。

答案 4 :(得分:1)

这是我尝试回答的问题。如果需要,您还可以查看每个匹配项。 (即BALER在BAKER中匹配4个字符)。 编辑:如果单词之间存在联系,它现在会捕获所有匹配项(我将“CAKER”添加到要测试的列表中)。

#! usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my @wordlist = qw( BAKER SALER BALER CARER RUFFR CAKER);

my %wordcomparison;

#foreach word, break it into letters, then compare it against all other words
#break all other words into letters and loop through the letters (both words have same amount), adding to the count of matched characters each time there's a match
foreach my $word (@wordlist) {
    my @letters = split(//, $word);
    foreach my $otherword (@wordlist) {
        my $count;
        next if $otherword eq $word;
        my @otherwordletters = split (//, $otherword);
        foreach my $i (0..$#letters) {
            $count++ if ( $letters[$i] eq $otherwordletters[$i] );
        }
        $wordcomparison{"$word"}{"$otherword"} = $count;
    }
}

# sort (unnecessary) and loop through the keys of the hash (words in your list)
# foreach key, loop through the other words it compares with
#Add a new key: total, and sum up all the matched characters.
foreach my $word (sort keys %wordcomparison) {
    foreach ( sort keys %{ $wordcomparison{$word} }) {
        $wordcomparison{$word}{total} += $wordcomparison{$word}{$_};
    }
}

#Want $word with highest total

my @max_match = (sort { $wordcomparison{$b}{total} <=> $wordcomparison{$a}{total} } keys %wordcomparison );

#This is to get all if there is a tie:
my $maximum = $max_match[0];
foreach (@max_match) {
print "$_\n" if ($wordcomparison{$_}{total} >= $wordcomparison{$maximum}{total} )
}

输出简单:CAKER BALER和BAKER。

哈希%wordcomparison看起来像:

'SALER'
        {
          'RUFFR' => 1,
          'BALER' => 4,
          'BAKER' => 3,
          'total' => 11,
          'CARER' => 3
        };

答案 5 :(得分:1)

这是一个依赖于转置单词以便计算相同字符的版本。我使用了原始比较中的单词,而不是代码。

这适用于任何长度的单词和任何长度列表。输出是:

Word    score
----    -----
BALER   12
SALER   11
BAKER   11
CARER   10
RUFFR   4

代码:

use warnings;
use strict;

my @w = qw(BAKER SALER BALER CARER RUFFR);
my @tword = t_word(@w);

my @score;
push @score, str_count($_) for @tword;
@score = t_score(@score);

my %total;

for (0 .. $#w) {
    $total{$w[$_]} = $score[$_];
}

print "Word\tscore\n";
print "----\t-----\n";
print "$_\t$total{$_}\n" for (sort { $total{$b} <=> $total{$a} } keys %total);

# transpose the words
sub t_word {
    my @w = @_;
    my @tword;
    for my $word (@w) {
        my $i = 0;
        while ($word =~ s/(.)//) {
            $tword[$i++] .= $1;
        }
    }
    return @tword;
}

# turn each character into a count
sub str_count {
    my $str = uc(shift);
    while ( $str =~ /([A-Z])/ ) {
        my $chr = $1;
        my $num = () = $str =~ /$chr/g;
        $num--;
        $str =~ s/$chr/$num /g;
    }
    return $str;
}

# sum up the character counts
# while reversing the transpose
sub t_score {
    my @count = @_;
    my @score;
    for my $num (@count) {
        my $i = 0;
        while( $num =~ s/(\d+) //) {
            $score[$i++] += $1;
        }
    }
    return @score;
}

答案 6 :(得分:0)

你可以这样做,使用一个脏的正则表达技巧来执行代码,如果一个字母在其位置匹配,但不是,否则,谢天谢地,你可以很容易地构建正则表达式:

正则表达式的示例是:

(?:(C(?{ $c++ }))|.)(?:(A(?{ $c++ }))|.)(?:(R(?{ $c++ }))|.)(?:(E(?{ $c++ }))|.)(?:(R(?{ $c++ }))|.)

这可能会也可能不会很快。

use 5.12.0;
use warnings;
use re 'eval';

my @words = qw(BAKER SALER BALER CARER RUFFR);

my ($best, $count) = ('', 0);
foreach my $word (@words) {
    our $c = 0;
    foreach my $candidate (@words) {
    next if $word eq $candidate;

    my $regex_str = join('', map {"(?:($_(?{ \$c++ }))|.)"} split '', $word);
    my $regex = qr/^$regex_str$/;

    $candidate =~ $regex or die "did not match!";
    }
    say "$word $c";
    if ($c > $count) {
    $best = $word;
    $count = $c;
    }
}

say "Matching: first best: $best";

使用xor技巧会很快,但会假设您可能遇到的字符范围很多。有很多方法可以让utf-8打破这种情况。

            }
        }
        # we only want to add in matches outside the one we're testing, therefore

}

# find the highest score
my $max = $scores[0];
foreach my $i (@scores[1 .. $#scores]) {

    }
}

# and print it all out :D
for my $i (0 .. $#letter_score ) {

运行时,脚本会生成以下内容:

SALER: 11
BALER: 12 <- best
CARER: 10
RUFFR: 4
