java – 使用Integer []与int []

我试图解决以下问题:“编写一个算法来打印在8×8国际象棋棋盘上安排八个皇后的所有方法,这样它们就不会共享相同的行,列或对角线(即没有两个皇后互相攻击.) “

我无法理解为什么作者使用Integer []而不是更常见的int [],例如在“Integer [] columns”和“ArrayList results”中,它们是placeQueens的参数.我的假设是这是由于Java中的泛型,但我并不完全确定.

下面的代码片段.链接到页面底部的完整代码.

public static int GRID_SIZE = 8;

/* Check if (row1, column1) is a valid spot for a queen by checking if there
 * is a queen in the same column or diagonal. We don't need to check it for queens
 * in the same row because the calling placeQueen only attempts to place one queen at
 * a time. We know this row is empty. 
 */
public static boolean checkValid(Integer[] columns, int row1, int column1) {
    for (int row2 = 0; row2 < row1; row2++) {
        int column2 = columns[row2];
        /* Check if (row2, column2) invalidates (row1, column1) as a queen spot. */

        /* Check if rows have a queen in the same column */
        if (column1 == column2) { 
            return false;
        }

        /* Check diagonals: if the distance between the columns equals the distance
         * between the rows, then they're in the same diagonal.
         */
        int columnDistance = Math.abs(column2 - column1); 
        int rowDistance = row1 - row2; // row1 > row2, so no need to use absolute value
        if (columnDistance == rowDistance) {
            return false;
        }
    }
    return true;
}

public static void placeQueens(int row, Integer[] columns, ArrayList<Integer[]> results) {
    if (row == GRID_SIZE) { // Found valid placement
        results.add(columns.clone()); 
    } else {
        for (int col = 0; col < GRID_SIZE; col++) {         
            if (checkValid(columns, row, col)) {
                columns[row] = col; // Place queen
                placeQueens(row + 1, columns, results); 
            }       
        }
    }
}

最佳答案 在Java中,Integer表示对象,而int是基本类型. Integer类支持更多函数,并且可以保存空值.另外,ArrayList只能包含Integer等对象.

ArrayList<int[]> results = new ArrayList<int[]>();

在上面的修订代码中,int []仍然可以工作,因为它被认为是一个对象.但是,作者可能正在寻求一致性或者需要Integer对象的额外功能.这是作者的偏好或无知的问题.
