Description
You have 4 cards each containing a number from 1 to 9. You need to judge whether they could operated through *, /, +, -, (, )to get the value of 24.
Example 1:
Input: [4, 1, 8, 7]
Output: True
Explanation: (8-4) * (7-1) = 24
Example 2:
Input: [1, 2, 1, 2]
Output: False
Note:
- The division operator
/
represents real division, not integer division. For example, 4 / (1 - 2/3) = 12. - Every operation done is between two numbers. In particular, we cannot use
-
as a unary operator. For example, with [1, 1, 1, 1] as input, the expression -1 -1 -1 -1 is not allowed. - You cannot concatenate numbers together. For example, if the input is [1, 2, 1, 2], we cannot write this as 12 + 12.
思路
题意:给定四张标有数字(1-9)的卡片,问通过加减乘除和小括号组成的表达式的结果能否等于24。
题解:考虑穷举法的话,四个数字共有4!种排列方法,4个数字中间加入符号共有4x4x4种方法,最后考虑小括号,小括号的放法共有(A(B(CD))、(A((BC)D)、((AB)(CD))、((A(BC))D)、(((AB)C)D)五种,那么种类最多有4!x4^3x5 = 7680种。
考虑回溯法,首先我们从集合A = {1 、2、3、4}中任意取出两个数,如取1、2,那么A = A - {1、2},对取出来的两个数字分别进行不同的四则运算,1 + 2、1 - 2……,将结果加入A中,有{3、3、4}、{-1,3,4}等,通过这种方法,将四个数降为三个数,然后降为两个数……
