Re: [QUIZ] Tournament Matchups (#105)
Hi,
I am new to the quizzes and also more or less new to ruby. I would
appreciate any comments on my "unrubyness", and thanks in advance. I prefer
1<<n to 2**n although I guess they are implemented similarly.
I am attaching my solution.
Let n be the number of participants and k be the power of 2 following n (or
n if it is a power of 2). Let p=log2(k).
The tournament (in my code) is understood as a binary tree *of "expected"
matches* starting with the final (expected to be [1,2] the best against the
second-best). Assume we have computed all the matches up to level i-1 (i=2
are the semi-finals, i=3 quarter-finals...), which are r=2**(i-1) matches:
m_1, ..., m_r (notice I start counting at 1). Let us compute the i-level
matches, which are 2**i, call them n_1,...,n_2r . The algorithm is:
Let l= (l_1,...,l_2r) = (m_11, m_12, m_21, m_22, ..., m_r2) the list of
players at level i-1 ordered as the matches say (i.e., in the semi-finals:
(1,4,2,5)
Let INDEX = 2**(i)+1
Let j = 1
STEP:
Match n_j = [l_j, OP_j] where l_j + OP_j = INDEX
j++
GOTO STEP unless j > 2r
return (n_1,...,n2r)
Actually, one can do a better ordering (which puts 1 at the top and 2 at the
bottom of every tree), which is what I have implemented.
In my code, the complete tournament is kept in memory as a list of
1 + 2 +... +2**p
matches. Different levels (i) can be distinguished by starting to count at
2**(i-1)-1
As you will see, the code looks somewhat hackish because there are too many
2** and off-by-one counts. However, I think this preserves the "natural"
structure of the data without using strong stuff like nested lists of
different lengths, etc... (And it is obviously more challenging to program
this way
:)
If you create a Tournament with a number, you get the numbers as the labels.
If you create it with a list, it is understood as an ordered (according to
rank) list of the participants. Labels (and emptpy spaces) are then given
the maximum length of the names.
Example:
one|
|-----|
four| |
|-----
three| |
|-----|
two|
(notice the "nice" 1-at the top 2-at the bottom ordering).
