¿Cómo encontrar el conjunto exacto de operaciones para un número específico?

Question

Estoy tratando de implementar un programa que responda a este problema:

si te dan un número específico (por ejemplo: 268)
y otros 6 números (por ejemplo: 2,4,5,25,75,100)

¿Cómo puedo encontrar la operación que me da la respuesta exacta o la más cercana?

Puede responder al ejemplo anterior utilizando esta operación: 75 * 4-25-5-2 = 268

Reglas :

1. puede usar estas operaciones aritméticas: +, -, *, /, ().
2. cuando usa división, el recordatorio debe ser igual a 0 (6/3 está bien, pero 6/4 no está bien).
3. no puedes usar el mismo número más de una vez. Además, puede evitar el uso de un número (por ejemplo: 100 en nuestro ejemplo anterior).

¿Hay alguna solución mejor que escribir todas las posibilidades y tomar la más cercana? Porque esta respuesta me obligaría a escribir demasiadas líneas de código, ¡gracias!

Answer 1

De hecho, la solución de fuerza bruta realmente no es tanto código

(EDITAR: Cambió ligeramente el código, porque algunas de las reglas no se habían tenido en cuenta adecuadamente)

solve(numbers, result);
}
private static void solve(List<Integer> numbers, Integer result)
{
List<Node> nodes = new ArrayList<Node>();
for (int i=0; i<numbers.size(); i++)
{
Integer number = numbers.get(i);
nodes.add(new Node(number));
}
System.out.println(nodes);
List<Node> all = create(nodes);
System.out.println("Found "+all.size()+" combinations");

Integer minDifference = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
for (Node n : all)
{
//System.out.println(n);
Integer e = n.evaluate();

pero, por supuesto, MUCHOS de estos son redundantes debido a la conmutatividad.

Uno podría evitar fácilmente muchas de las soluciones que se controlan en la variante de fuerza bruta. Uno de los primeros pasos podría ser evitar la creación de nodos que contengan elementos conmutativos, y posiblemente implementar un método equals para la clase de Node rápida y sucia que esbocé allí, que tiene en cuenta la conmutatividad y luego usar Set of Nodos en lugar de la List . Además, también es posible realizar optimizaciones "simples", de "bajo nivel" (por ejemplo, un retorno anticipado cuando se encuentra una combinación perfecta).

Y con respecto a su pregunta real, si hay una solución que es "mejor" que la fuerza bruta: Mi sensación visceral es que la respuesta es "no", pero esto depende de qué problema se deba resolver. El punto clave está aquí: supongamos que se le da una lista de números disponibles y un valor de resultado deseado. Y supongamos que no es posible crear el valor de resultado a partir de los valores de entrada dados. Ej. Cuando tienes

input = { 1,2,3,4,5,6 }
result = 10000000000;

Creo que para demostrar realmente que esto no es posible, debes enumerar todas las combinaciones (devolviendo la "mejor" al final, que aquí probablemente sea 1*2*3*4*5*6 ). Si omite alguna combinación, ¿cómo debe estar seguro de que no fue exactamente la mejor ?

Pero de nuevo: esto es solo una corazonada. Tal vez alguien que está más ... matemáticamente involucrado ... puede demostrar que estoy equivocado ...
