Sven的优秀代码只做了太多的工作,并且使用了tuple解包而不是pop()。 此外,它可以添加一个警卫if x != y来检查x和y是不同的。 以下是改进后的答案:
# create the set just once
choices = {'a', 'b', 'c'}
x = 'a'
y = 'b'
# the main code can be used in a loop
if x != y:
z, = choices - {x, y}
以下是与时间套件比较的时间表,以显示相对表现:
import timeit, itertools
setup_template = '''
x = %r
y = %r
choices = {'a', 'b', 'c'}
'''
new_version = '''
if x != y:
z, = choices - {x, y}
'''
original_version = '''
if x == 'a' and y == 'b' or x == 'b' and y == 'a':
z = 'c'
elif x == 'b' and y == 'c' or x == 'c' and y == 'b':
z = 'a'
elif x == 'a' and y == 'c' or x == 'c' and y == 'a':
z = 'b'
'''
for x, y in itertools.product('abc', repeat=2):
print '\nTesting with x=%r and y=%r' % (x, y)
setup = setup_template % (x, y)
for stmt, name in zip([original_version, new_version], ['if', 'set']):
print min(timeit.Timer(stmt, setup).repeat(7, 100000)),
print '\t%s_version' % name
以下是时间的结果:
Testing with x='a' and y='a'

这些时序表明,原始版本的性能会有很大差异,具体取决于各种输入值触发的if语句。
