迭代器对象可以在 for
循环中使用:
In [1]:
x = [2, 4, 6]
for n in x:
print n
2
4
6
其好处是不需要对下标进行迭代,但是有些情况下,我们既希望获得下标,也希望获得对应的值,那么可以将迭代器传给 enumerate
函数,这样每次迭代都会返回一组 (index, value)
组成的元组:
In [2]:
x = [2, 4, 6]
for i, n in enumerate(x):
print 'pos', i, 'is', n
pos 0 is 2
pos 1 is 4
pos 2 is 6
迭代器对象必须实现 __iter__
方法:
In [3]:
x = [2, 4, 6]
i = x.__iter__()
print i
<listiterator object at 0x0000000003CAE630>
__iter__()
返回的对象支持 next
方法,返回迭代器中的下一个元素:
In [4]:
print i.next()
2
当下一个元素不存在时,会 raise
一个 StopIteration
错误:
In [5]:
print i.next()
print i.next()
4
6
In [6]:
i.next()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
StopIteration Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-6-e590fe0d22f8> in <module>()
----> 1 i.next()
StopIteration:
很多标准库函数返回的是迭代器:
In [7]:
r = reversed(x)
print r
<listreverseiterator object at 0x0000000003D615F8>
调用它的 next()
方法:
In [8]:
print r.next()
print r.next()
print r.next()
6
4
2
字典对象的 iterkeys, itervalues, iteritems
方法返回的都是迭代器:
In [9]:
x = {'a':1, 'b':2, 'c':3}
i = x.iteritems()
print i
<dictionary-itemiterator object at 0x0000000003D51B88>
迭代器的 __iter__
方法返回它本身:
In [10]:
print i.__iter__()
<dictionary-itemiterator object at 0x0000000003D51B88>
In [11]:
print i.next()
('a', 1)
自定义一个 list 的取反迭代器:
In [12]:
class ReverseListIterator(object):
def __init__(self, list):
self.list = list
self.index = len(list)
def __iter__(self):
return self
def next(self):
self.index -= 1
if self.index >= 0:
return self.list[self.index]
else:
raise StopIteration
In [13]:
x = range(10)
for i in ReverseListIterator(x):
print i,
9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
只要我们定义了这三个方法,我们可以返回任意迭代值:
In [14]:
class Collatz(object):
def __init__(self, start):
self.value = start
def __iter__(self):
return self
def next(self):
if self.value == 1:
raise StopIteration
elif self.value % 2 == 0:
self.value = self.value / 2
else:
self.value = 3 * self.value + 1
return self.value
这里我们实现 Collatz 猜想:
- 奇数 n:返回 3n + 1
- 偶数 n:返回 n / 2
直到 n 为 1 为止:
In [15]:
for x in Collatz(7):
print x,
22 11 34 17 52 26 13 40 20 10 5 16 8 4 2 1
不过迭代器对象存在状态,会出现这样的问题:
In [16]:
i = Collatz(7)
for x, y in zip(i, i):
print x, y
22 11
34 17
52 26
13 40
20 10
5 16
8 4
2 1
一个比较好的解决方法是将迭代器和可迭代对象分开处理,这里提供了一个二分树的中序遍历实现:
In [17]:
class BinaryTree(object):
def __init__(self, value, left=None, right=None):
self.value = value
self.left = left
self.right = right
def __iter__(self):
return InorderIterator(self)
In [18]:
class InorderIterator(object):
def __init__(self, node):
self.node = node
self.stack = []
def next(self):
if len(self.stack) > 0 or self.node is not None:
while self.node is not None:
self.stack.append(self.node)
self.node = self.node.left
node = self.stack.pop()
self.node = node.right
return node.value
else:
raise StopIteration()
In [19]:
tree = BinaryTree(
left=BinaryTree(
left=BinaryTree(1),
value=2,
right=BinaryTree(
left=BinaryTree(3),
value=4,
right=BinaryTree(5)
),
),
value=6,
right=BinaryTree(
value=7,
right=BinaryTree(8)
)
)
In [20]:
for value in tree:
print value,
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
不会出现之前的问题:
In [21]:
for x,y in zip(tree, tree):
print x, y
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 6
7 7
8 8
