随机漫步的实现

为了模拟随机漫步，将创建一个名为RandomWalk的类随机选择前进方向，需要三个属性

1. 储存随机漫步次数的变量
2. 储存随机漫步经过的每个点的x坐标
3. 储存随机漫步经过的每个点的y坐标

该类只包含两个方法，__init__()和fill_work，后者计算的是随机漫步经过的所有的点。

random.py

from random import choice


class RandomWalk:
    """"used to produce randomwalk"""

    def __init__(self, num_points=5000):
        """initialize properties of randomwalk"""
        self.num_points = num_points
        """all walks start at (0,0)"""
        self.x_values = [0]
        self.y_values = [0]

    def fill_work(self):
        """calculate the number of points involved in randomwalk"""
        # keep walking until gets referred length
        while len(self.x_values) < self.num_points:
            """choose a value for x_direction for either left 1 or right 1 (direction)"""
            x_direction = choice([1, -1])
            """choose the walk length, including 0 allows moving toward y-axis"""
            x_distance = choice([0, 1, 2, 3, 4])
            """relative position changes"""
            x_step = x_distance * x_direction

            y_direction = choice([1, -1])
            y_distance = choice([0, 1, 2, 3, 4])
            y_step = y_distance * y_direction

            """do not stay stationary"""
            if x_step == 0 and y_step == 0:
                continue

            """calculate x and y for next point"""
            next_x = self.x_values[-1] + x_step
            next_y = self.y_values[-1] + y_step

            self.x_values.append(next_x)
            self.y_values.append(next_y)

Visual

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

from random_walk import RandomWalk

while True:
    rw = RandomWalk()
    rw.fill_work()
    point_nums = list(range(rw.num_points))
    plt.scatter(rw.x_values, rw.y_values, c=point_nums,
                cmap=plt.cm.Reds, edgecolors='none', s=15)
    plt.show()

    keep_running = input(" you want to do it again babe?")
    if keep_running == "no":
        break

extra:
调整尺寸：分辨率和高和宽。

plt.figure(dpi=128, figsize=(10, 6))

隐藏坐标轴：

plt.axes().get_xaxis().set_visible(False)
