表达一个数字-一个现代的"Des Chiffres et des Lettres“

Question

快递号码

早在60年代，法国就发明了电视游戏节目“et des Lettres”(数字与字母)。数字部分的目标是尽可能接近某个3位目标数，使用一些半随机选择的数字。参赛者可使用下列操作者：

• 级联(1和2为12)
• 加法(1 +2为3)
• 减法(5-3= 2)
• 除法(8 /2= 4)；只有当结果是自然数时才允许除法。
• 乘法(2 *3= 6)
• 括号，以覆盖操作的常规优先级:2*(3+4)= 14

每个给定的数字只能使用一次或根本不能使用。

例如，目标编号728可以与数字6、10、25、75、5和50完全匹配，其表达式如下：

75 * 10 - ( ( 6 + 5 ) * ( 50 / 25 ) ) = 750 - ( 11 * 2 ) = 750 - 22 = 728

在此代码挑战中，您的任务是在尽可能接近某个目标编号的情况下查找表达式。由于我们生活在21世纪，我们将引入比60年代更大的目标数量和更多的数字。

规则

• 允许的运算符:级联，+，-，/，*，(和)
• 级联运算符没有符号。把数字连起来就行了。
• 没有“反向级联”。69是69，不能分成6和9。
• 目标数是一个正整数，最多有18位数字。
• 至少有两个数字可供使用，最多可使用99个数字。这些数字也是最多18位数的正整数。
• 有可能(实际上很可能)目标数不能用数字和运算符来表示。我们的目标是尽可能接近。
• 程序应该在合理的时间内完成(在一台现代桌面PC上只需几分钟)。
• 适用标准漏洞。
• 您的程序可能没有优化的测试集，在“评分”部分的这一谜题。如果我怀疑有人违反了这条规则，我保留更改测试集的权利。
• 这不是合作伙伴。

输入

输入由一个数字数组组成，这些数字可以以任何方便的方式格式化。第一个数字是目标号码。其余的数字是您应该使用以形成目标号码的数字。

输出

产出所需经费如下：

• 它应该是一个由：组成的字符串。
  • 输入数字的任何子集(目标号码除外)
  • 任意数目的操作员

• 我更希望输出是没有空格的单行，但如果必须的话，可以根据需要添加空格和换行符。它们将在控制程序中被忽略。
• 输出应该是一个有效的数学表达式。

示例

为了提高可读性，所有这些示例都有一个精确的解，并且每个输入号精确地使用一次。

输入：1515483, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1

输出：111*111*(111+11+1)

输入：153135, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

输出：123*(456+789)

输入：8888888888, 9, 9, 9, 99, 99, 99, 999, 999, 999, 9999, 9999, 9999, 99999, 99999, 99999, 1

输出：9*99*999*9999-9999999-999999-99999-99999-99999-9999-999-9-1

输入：207901, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0

输出：1+2*(3+4)*(5+6)*(7+8)*90

输入：34943, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0输出：1+2*(3+4*(5+6*(7+8*90)))，但有效输出是：34957-6-8

评分

程序的惩罚分数是下面测试集表达式的相对错误之和。

例如，如果目标值为125，表达式为120，则惩罚分数为abs( 1-120/125)= 0,04。

得分最低的程序(总相对误差最低)获胜。如果两个程序完成相等，第一个提交将获胜。

最后，测试集(8例)：

以前类似的谜题

在创建了这个谜题并将其张贴在沙箱上之后，我注意到了一些类似的东西(但不是相同的！)在前面的两个谜题中：这里 (无解决方案)和这里。这个谜题有点不同，因为它引入了级联操作符，我不寻求和精确匹配，我喜欢看到接近解决方案的策略，而不是蛮力。我觉得这很有挑战性。

这是程序，注释中提供了解释。您可以为不允许级联的传统倒计时规则定义CONCAT_NONE，也可以定义CONCAT_DIGITS来允许输入值的级联，但不能定义任何中间结果。默认情况下，在没有任何定义的情况下，将使用最自由的规则。

// We apply some principles to help us arrive at a good enough solution
// in a reasonable time:

// 1. Ruthlessly prune duplicate expressions from the candidate
//    list.  If we've seen a+b, then there's no need to consider
//    b+a.  Similarly, having seen (a+b)+c, then (a+c)+b can be
//    discounted.
// 2. Detect duplicates by storing batches of part-processed results
//    in sets before sending to the next pass.
// 3. Sort our candidates so that those containing a term near to the
//    target are first in line for further processing.
// 4. Gradually widen our acceptance margin as we proceed.  This
//    allows us to terminate quickly without exhaustively searching
//    the full problem space.
// 5. Parallelize the generation of candidate solutions using OpenMP.

// Define precedence values for our operators, so that we can print
// with the minimum sufficient parentheses.  The values are grouped
// into tens so that add/10 == subtract/10 and mult/10 == divide/10 -
// the operators use that for avoiding duplicate expressions.

所以，我决定自己动手。别太花哨了。这个程序按反序(从大到小)对数字进行排序，并按顺序对数字进行所有运算符的尝试。光芒四射，但这是一种值得取代的表演。

以下是节目：

import sys

def score(current,target):
    return abs(1.0-current/float(target))

# Process input and init variables
targetvalue=int(sys.argv[1].strip(','))
numbers=[int(a.strip(',')) for a in sys.argv[2:]]
numbers.sort(reverse=True)
expression='('+str(numbers[0])+')'
currentvalue=nextvalue=testvalue=numbers[0]

# Loop over all values (except the first one)
for value in numbers[1:]:
    # Set multiplication as the reference operator...
    testvalue=currentvalue*value
    minscore=score(testvalue,targetvalue)
    operator="*"
    nextvalue=testvalue
    
    # then try division (only if result is integer and not divided by zero)...
    if value!=0 and currentvalue%value==0:
        testvalue=currentvalue/value
        if score(testvalue,targetvalue)<minscore:
            operator="/"
            minscore=score(testvalue,targetvalue)
            nextvalue=testvalue

    # and addition...
    testvalue=currentvalue+value
    if score(testvalue,targetvalue)<minscore:
        operator="+"
        minscore=score(testvalue,targetvalue)
        nextvalue=testvalue

    # and subtraction...
    testvalue=currentvalue-value
    if score(testvalue,targetvalue)<minscore:
        operator="-"
        minscore=score(testvalue,targetvalue)
        nextvalue=testvalue

    # and concatenation
    testvalue=int(str(currentvalue)+str(value))
    if score(testvalue,targetvalue)<minscore:
        operator=""
        minscore=score(testvalue,targetvalue)
        nextvalue=testvalue

    # finally check if any operator improces the score. If so, append to the expression
    if score(nextvalue,targetvalue)<score(currentvalue,targetvalue):
        expression='('+expression+operator+str(value)+')'
        currentvalue=nextvalue

print(expression)
