Подтвердить что ты не робот

Что такое "интервалы" в быстрых диапазонах?

Я знаю, что существует 3 типа диапазонов: Range, Strides и Intervals.

var closed:ClosedInterval = 1.2...5.0

var half_open:HalfOpenInterval = 1.2..<5.0

Каковы интервалы в быстром? и какой пример их использования?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_(mathematics)

EDIT: Вот что отмечает релиз бета-версии 5 xcode 6:

• Интервалы по сравнению со сравнимыми значениями, которые могут эффективно проверять сдерживание. Интервалы используется для сопоставления шаблонов в операторах switch и оператором ~ =.

Ответ 1

Начиная с Swift 3 (в настоящее время в бета-версии с бета-версией Xcode 8, а также в сообществе Swift с открытым исходным кодом), типов Interval больше нет. Теперь семейство типов Range<T> включает функциональность как прежнего диапазона, так и интервальных типов и дополнительно соответствует новой модели для типов и индексов > .

В Swift 2.x и старше... Диапазоны для итерации, а интервалы - для соответствия шаблонов.

func testNum(num: Int) {
    let interval: HalfOpenInterval = 0..<10
    let range = 10..<20
    switch num {
    case interval:    // this works
        break
    case range:       // error "does not conform to protocol IntervalType"
        break
    default:
        break
    }
}

Тип A Range оптимизирован для генерации значений, которые увеличиваются по диапазону, и работает с типами, которые могут быть подсчитаны и увеличены.

Тип Interval оптимизирован для проверки того, находится ли заданное значение внутри интервала. Он работает с типами, которые необязательно требуют представления об увеличении и обеспечивают операции, такие как зажим одного диапазона в другой (например, (0..<10).clamp(5..<15) yields 5..<10), которые полезны для комплексного сопоставления шаблонов.

Так как операторы ..< и ... имеют две формы: один, который возвращает Range, и тот, который возвращает вывод типа Interval, автоматически использует правильный, основанный на контексте. Итак, если вы пишете 0..<10 в метке case оператора switch, Swift автоматически создает HalfOpenInterval, потому что для оператора switch требуется тип Interval.

Оператор ~= - это способ сделать один тест на интервале без инструкции switch. Запись interval ~= value эквивалентна interval.contains(value).

Стоит отметить, что вы можете узнать многие из этих вещей, взглянув на стандартный интерфейс библиотеки и свои комментарии: напишите имя типа, например HalfOpenInterval, на игровой площадке, затем нажмите "Command", чтобы перейти к его определению.

Ответ 2

Я подумал, что это так же хорошо, как и любой другой, чтобы оставить эту работу.

ОБНОВЛЕНИЕ: Я переделал это в своей серии "Swiftwater" (ссылка на запись серии на моем веб-сайте).

Так как Apple сделала такую ​​ужасную работу по описанию диапазонов и интервалов, я работаю через них на большой толстой игровой площадке (это как я делаю это). Я решил, что оставлю место на этой площадке в разделе.

Это также отличный способ получить исправления и экспертный обзор, поскольку я бы скорее понял вещи и делал их правильно, чем быть каким-то "ботёром-богом". Я часто ошибаюсь и делаю плохие предположения. Для этого отлично подходит экспертная оценка.

Кроме того, я считаю это публичной услугой, так как есть несколько вещей, которые выродки больше, чем рассказывать другим вундеркиндам, что они ошибаются. Нет, не благодари меня. Я получу награду на Небесах.

В любом случае, вот площадка на сегодняшний день. Все дело в том, чтобы уточнить их. В последующие дни я просто вставлю последующие части игровой площадки.

Обратите внимание на строку Intervals. Я собираюсь с ними немного пообщаться.

Я также попытаюсь создать классы, которые могут быть увеличены, и посмотреть, можно ли их использовать как значения диапазона.

ОБНОВЛЕНИЕ: Теперь я прошел базовое использование. Кажется, что многосимвольные интервалы строк находятся в области undefined. Я подниму вопрос RADAR на него и посмотрю, что Apple должна сказать.

UPDATE 2: Этот ответ охватывает нечетность String Interval.

UPDATE 3: Я обновил его для Swift 3.

UPDATE 4: Я обновил его для Swift 4. Мне все еще нужно больше тестировать, но я думаю, что все в порядке.

Вам следует открыть редактор ассистентов (Консоль), чтобы вы могли видеть результаты всех операторов print() (они не всегда отображаются в канавках для циклов).

// PART 1: SPECIFYING RANGES AND INTERVALS
// 1.1: RANGES

// First, we look at the Range type. Ranges are designed for incrementing. They have to be scalar (incrementable, usually, integers).
// Ranges always represent internally as min..<max When you do an inclusive range, it will represent internally as min..<max+1

// This is an example I plucked from here: http://sketchytech.blogspot.com/2014/08/swift-adopt-sequence-protocol-and-use.html

// This shows how to create a simple struct-based iterator.

// SequenceType is a struct (not a class), and requires a GeneratorType-based struct as a typealias
struct MySequence:Sequence
{
    var x, y, length:Int    // These are the hypothetical struct data members.

    // The SequenceType protocol dictates that we have a generate() method that emits a GeneratorType-based struct.
    // Swift is kinda cool, in that you can define a typealias as a required prototype component.
    typealias GeneratorType = MyGenerator

    // This function instantiates a generator object, and returns that.
    // Since this is a struct, the object is a struct, and is returned by value.
    // That means that this object will not be affected by the iterator.
    func makeIterator() -> GeneratorType
    {
        // Length indicates how many iterations will be allowed.
        // The other two parameters are the starting values of the data members.
        return MyGenerator ( x:x, y:y, length:length )
    }

    mutating func next() -> GeneratorType.Element? {
        if length == 0 {
            return nil
        } else {
            length -= 1
            x += 1
            y += 1
            return ( x, y )
        }
    }
}

// This struct models one generator object.
// The generator is a "disposable" instance that is created by an instance of MySequence.
// The GeneratorType protocol requires a generic type, called "Element," which can be anything you want,
// and a "next()" method that returns one of the "Element" instances.
struct MyGenerator:IteratorProtocol
{
    var x, y, length:Int    // These are the values

    typealias Element = ( Int, Int )    // In the case of this example, "Element" is a tuple, containing x and y Int values.

    // This is the required next() method. Since this is a struct, we need the "mutating" keyword.
    mutating func next() -> Element?    // The return is optional, as we return nil when done.
    {
        // We just go for as many counts as "length" gave us, incrementing the values as we go.
        if length > 0
        {
            length -= 1
            x += 1
            y += 1
            return ( x, y )
        }
        else
        {
            return nil  // At the end, we return nil.
        }
    }
}

var seq = MySequence ( x:10, y:10, length:10 )

for point in seq
{
    print ( point )
}

// We can go again without a rewind.
// Note the data member values are at the old starting point.
// That because internally, a new generator is created.

for point in seq
{
    print ( point )
}

// Let create a new instance.
seq = MySequence ( x:10, y:10, length:10 )

// This is what going on inside.
// Note that we need a "var", as we are mutating the struct.
var seqGen = seq.makeIterator()

// Since we generated a new generator, we start from the beginning again.
while let x = seqGen.next()
{
    print ( x )
}

// Now, if we try to go again, we won't have any luck.
while let x = seqGen.next()
{
    print ( x )
}

// However, if we reset length in the generator, we can go again, continuing to increment the values.
seqGen.length = 10

while let x = seqGen.next()
{
    print ( x )
}

// Just to prove that the original instance remains untouched.
print ( "x: \( seq.x ), y: \( seq.y ), length: \( seq.length )" )

Что это сейчас. Я буду рассматривать некоторые из более продвинутых поведений этого материала самостоятельно, но я понял, что поставил здесь эту площадку, чтобы улучшить знания племени на этом материале.

Я действительно надеюсь, что Apple улучшит свои документы по этому поводу, таким образом, отменив мой ответ.
