不可排序的类型: Vertex() < Vertex()

Question

我正在处理一个dijkstra，我得到了这个错误: TypeError: unorderable type: Vertex() < Vertex()

整个错误日志是：

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/Dimitar/PycharmProjects/Dijkstra/Dijkstra.py", line 165, in <module>
    dijkstra(g, g.get_vertex('a'))
  File "C:/Users/Dimitar/PycharmProjects/Dijkstra/Dijkstra.py", line 101, in dijkstra
    heapq.heapify(unvisited_queue)
TypeError: unorderable types: Vertex() < Vertex()

下面是我的代码：

有人能解释一下为什么我会有这样的错误吗？我是一个自学成才的人，我会非常感谢你的帮助。

导致错误的代码行是: heapq.heapify(unvisited_queue)

提前感谢所有在这个话题上发表评论的人。

最好的，迪米塔

自定义类型不会隐式定义其实例之间的顺序：

>>> v1 = Vertex(1)
>>> v2 = Vertex(2)
>>> v1 < v2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unorderable types: Vertex() < Vertex()

你需要告诉python如何比较你的顶点。为此，您需要实现rich comparison方法。因为heapify需要<，所以您至少必须实现__lt__。

您还可以查看@total_ordering装饰器，以避免实现所有这些装饰器。

大致是这样的：

from functools import total_ordering

@total_ordering
class Vertex:
    # Your current class code

    def __eq__(self, other):
        if isinstance(other, self.__class__):
            return self.distance == other.distance
        return NotImplemented

    def __lt__(self, other):
        if isinstance(other, self.__class__):
            return self.distance < other.distance
        return NotImplemented

如果需要将该类用作字典键，则需要添加__hash__方法。可能是这样的：

    def __hash__(self):
        return id(self)
