考虑一个从1到N的整数的随机列表。您只想使用以下操作对其进行排序：

交换第一个和最后一个列表元素。（S）
弹出第一个元素并将其附加到列表的末尾。（P）

这总是可能的，因为任何列表都可以通过相邻元素的足够交换来排序。使用S和P可以交换任何相邻的元素，方法是调用P直到有问题的两个元素是列表中的第一和最后一个项目，然后调用S交换它们，然后再次调用P直到它们在原始索引中（现在已交换））。

但是，就S和P操作的数量而言，此方法对于大多数列表而言不太可能是最佳方法。

挑战

编写一个程序或函数，将数字从1排列到N（N> 1）。它可以作为列表或字符串或任何方便的形式给出。它应该输出一个S和P序列，当从左到右应用该序列时将对排列进行排序。此序列不必最佳地短，但是最好短一些（请参阅评分）。

例

如果输入是[2, 1, 3]输出，则可能是SP因为

应用型，以[2, 1, 3]使得它[3, 1, 2]，
和P应用于[3, 1, 2]使它[1, 2, 3]，它被排序。

验证者

该堆栈片段可用于验证序列是否确实对列表进行了排序。该列表应带有方括号，并以逗号分隔。SP序列只是一个字符串“ S”和P“”。

<style>*{font-family:monospace}</style><script>function swap(list) {var tmp = list[0];list[0] = list[list.length - 1];list[list.length - 1] = tmp;}function pop(list) {list.push(list.shift())}function check() {var result = 'Sorted sucessfully.';var details = '';try {var list = eval(document.getElementById('list').value);var seq = document.getElementById('seq').value;details += 'Sequence: ' + seq + '<br>Steps:<br>' + list + ' <-- original';for(var i = 0; i < seq.length; i++) {if (seq.charAt(i) == 'S')swap(list);else if (seq.charAt(i) == 'P')pop(list);details += ' (' + i + ')<br>' + list;}details += ' <-- final (' + i + ')';for(var i = 1; i < list.length; i++) {if (list[i-1] > list[i]) {result = 'Sorting failed!';break;}}} catch(e) {result = 'Error: ' + e;}document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = result;document.getElementById('details').innerHTML = details;}</script><p>List<br><input id='list'type='text'size='60'value='[2, 1, 3]'></p><p>SP Sequence<br><textarea id='seq'rows='1'cols='60'>SP</textarea><br></p><button type='button'onclick='check()'>Check</button><p id='result'></p><p id='details'></p>

计分

对于N = 2到256，您的算法必须产生正确但可能不是最佳的SP序列。对于此范围内的任何排列，它必须在一台像样的现代计算机上运行少于5分钟。

您的分数是算法对下面提供的所有30个列表进行排序所需的S和P操作总数。最低分获胜。

您可能没有对程序进行硬编码以适合此数据。如果有必要，我可以添加更多测试数据来确定获胜者。

说明

该程序仅执行泡沫排序交换，使用以下观察：
S: n 1 2 3 ... n-1 0 PS: 0 2 3 ... n-1 n 1 PPS: 1 3 ... n-1 n 0 2 PPPS: 2 ... n-1 n 0 1 3 ...

换句话说，在i推送之后进行交换意味着元素i将与element交换i-1，索引换行。但是，我们需要跟踪这样一个事实，即列表已更改。

为了做得比通常的冒泡排序更好，我们尝试应用启发式方法以确保我们不会进行过多的无用交换，并强制所有交换都将两个元素都移近各自的目标（我尚未正式证明是正确的，但到目前为止似乎仍然可行）。然后，我们从许多配置中选择最佳的解决方案（CPython花费了一段时间，但是PyPy相对较快地完成了这项工作）。

实现“最末端”气泡排序，该气泡排序根据到达参考位置的最短路径（向上气泡或向下气泡）使元素向上或向下气泡。

~~我不认为例程是最佳的，但是应该合理地接近它。另外，它以毫秒为单位运行全套测试向量。~~

更新以迭代提高竞争力的关键点。我还介绍了启发式方法，以补偿元素在列表中“向上移动”比“向下”移动低的现象（类似于半导体中电子和空穴迁移率的差异）。此实现与Sp3000的实现之间存在主要差异，因此，两者的得分均准确地达到607,771，这是令人毛骨悚然的。万圣节恐怖。

该例程现在大约需要20秒钟才能运行。

C，得分：607771

事实证明，我的解决方案与Sp3000的Python解决方案非常相似（说明了相同的分数）。我从未使用过Python，所以不能肯定地说，但是我认为概念是完全相同的：

对于0..n-1中的每个数字r，设置一个已排序数组的目标，该数组从初始位置旋转了r次（即，包含带有r = P mod n的P个pop），并找到一系列导致这种配置的移动。记录任何r的最短移动顺序。
仅当交换使距目标位置更远的任一元素（朝任一方向看）更近时，或当两个元素均等地远离时，将交换将两个元素都移近时，才执行交换。

用法

$ gcc -Ofast -o popswap popswap.c
$ ./popswap [2, 7, 5, 3, 4, 6, 1]
PSPPSPSPPPS
$ ./popswap [2, 7, 5, 3, 4, 6, 1]|tr -d '\n'|wc -c

C ++ 11，得分：1122052

非常幼稚的实现，不考虑输入序列中的漏洞，但考虑序列中的最小值。

参数列表只是数字序列，不带逗号和括号（例如：“ ./ a.out 2 7 5”）

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int* input  = 0;
int s_count = 0;
int p_count = 0;
int len;
int last;

void do_swap()
{
  int a = input[0];
  input[0] = input[last];
  input[last] = a;
  s_count++;
  cerr << "S";
}

void do_pop()
{
  int a = input[0];
  memmove(&input[0], &input[1], sizeof(int) * last);
  input[last] = a;
  p_count++;
  cerr << "P";
}

bool is_sorted()
{
  int i = 0;
  while (input[i] < input[i+1]) { if (++i == last) return true; }
  return false;
}

int main(int argc, char** args)
{
  int min_val = 256;

  len = argc - 1;
  last = len - 1;
  if (len <= 1)
    return 1;

  input = new int[len];
  for (int i = 2; i <= argc; i++)
  {
    int j = stoi(args[i-1]);
    input[i-2] = j;
    min_val = min(min_val, j);
  }

  while (!is_sorted())
  {
    if ((input[0]) == min_val)
      do_pop();
    else if (input[0] < input[last])
      do_swap();
    else if (input[0] > input[last])
      do_pop();
  }

  cerr << endl;
  cout << len << " " << (s_count + p_count) << endl;
  delete [] input;
  return 0;
