题目
1. 写一个函数,输入 n, 求斐波那契(Fibonacci)数列的第 n 项。斐波那契数列的定义如下:
2. 一只青蛙一次可以跳上 1 级台阶,也可以跳上 2 级。求该青蛙跳上一个n级的台阶总共有多少种跳法?
3. 一只青蛙一次可以跳上 1 级台阶,也可以跳上 2 级,...... ,也可以跳上n级,此时该青蛙跳上一个 n 级的台阶共有多少种跳法?
4. 用 2x1 (图 2.13 的左边)的小矩形横着或者竖着去覆盖更大的矩形。请问用 8 个 2x1 小矩形无重叠地覆盖一个 2x8 的大矩形(图 2.13 的右边),总共有多少种方法?
题目解析
本博客提及到 4 个题目:题目 1 直接给出斐波那契数列的定义,可采用多种算法实现,这些算法思想将在 “算法设计思想“ 部分介绍;题目 2 和题目 4 的本质上解决的还是斐波那契数列第 n 项的计算问题,即题目 1;题目 3 可以说是数学问题,只要意识到其计算的实质上是 2 的 n 次幂即可,剩下的工作采用程序就很容易实现了。
下面具体说如何理解题目 2、题目 3 和 题目4:
- 对于题目 2,青蛙每次只能跳上 1 级或 2 级台阶。假定青蛙需要跳上 n 级台阶,其可能的组合数为 g(n) 。青蛙第 1 次跳台阶有 2 种可能:跳上 1 级台阶,剩余 n-1 级台阶;跳上 2 级台阶,剩余 n-2 级台阶。所以 g(n) = g(n-1) + g(n-2),即青蛙跳上 n 级台阶的可能的组合数等于第 1 次跳上 1 级台阶的可能组合数加上第 1 次跳上 2 级台阶的可能组合数。也可理解为以何种方式跳上第 n 级台阶(跳上 1 级台阶,还是跳上 2 级台阶)。至此,就转化为求解斐波那契数列的第 n 项问题。
- 对于题目 3,与题目 2 相比,区别在于青蛙每次可以跳上任意级台阶,不仅仅是 1 级或 2 级台阶。如果此时青蛙需要跳上 n 级台阶,可采取的跳法有 f(n) = 2n-1 种。可以采用数学归纳法证明,具体证明思路如下:
当 n = 1或 n = 2 时, 显然成立;
令 n = k 时, f(k) = 2k-1 成立,当 n = k+1 时,f(k+1) = f(k) + f(k-1) + f(k-2) + ... + f(1) + 1. 在增加 1 级台阶后,可以理解为,设青蛙在跳上最后一级台阶(新增加的台阶)时,所跳上的台阶数为 x,若 x = 1,则此时可采跳法是 f(k) 种跳法;若 x = 2,则此时可采取的跳法为 f(k-1); 如此下去,一直到 x = k-1 时,则此时可采取的跳法为 f(1);除此之外,还需要加上一种 x = k+1 可能,即只需一次直接跳上 k+1 级台阶。又因为
- 对于题目 4,使用图 2.13 左图 (2x1的矩形,也可变换为1x2矩形,设为形状A) 填充图 2.13 的右图 (2x8的矩形,设为形状B(8),其中8为列数) 时,如果先放置一块,有两种放法,一种横着放,一种是竖着放。如果第一次横着放,则下一个也必须是横着放,此时问题变为使用形状 A 填充形状 B(6);如果第一次是竖着放,则问题变为使用形状 A 填充形状 B(7)。为了表示方便,则依旧用相同的符号 B 表示为用 A 填充 B 的方法数,则有 B(8) = B(6) + B(7),从递推公式可以看出,这是一个斐波那契数列的问题。
算法设计思想
1. 递归方法(Recursive Method)。循环调用自身。缺点:有大量的重复计算,不实用。优点:实现非常简单,代码短小。对于斐波那契数列的实现,其时间复杂度为 O(2n)。
2. 迭代方法 (Iterative Method)。通过循环,替代递归方法,从理论上说,任何递归算法都可用迭代算法实现。优点:节省栈空间,有可能降低时间复杂度。缺点是相对于递归方法,实现较难,代码往往会复杂一些。对斐波那契数列,其时间复杂度为 O(n),是比较实用的算法。
3. 公式法。通过不常用的计算斐波那契数列的第 n 项的数学公式,如果采用合适的实现方式,可将时间复杂度降为 O(logn),具体数学公式和相关说明如下(摘自参考资料):
