Gerador de número pseudoaleatório congruencial linear
O (1) Memória
Operações O (k)
Este problema pode ser resolvido com um Gerador Congruencial Linear simples . Isso requer sobrecarga de memória constante (8 inteiros) e no máximo 2 * (comprimento de sequência) cálculos.
Todas as outras soluções usam mais memória e mais computação! Se você só precisar de algumas sequências aleatórias, esse método será significativamente mais barato. Para intervalos de tamanho N, se você deseja gerar na ordem de sequências Núnicas kou mais, eu recomendo a solução aceita usando os métodos integrados, random.sample(range(N),k)pois isso foi otimizado em python para velocidade.
Código
# Return a randomized "range" using a Linear Congruential Generator
# to produce the number sequence. Parameters are the same as for
# python builtin "range".
# Memory -- storage for 8 integers, regardless of parameters.
# Compute -- at most 2*"maximum" steps required to generate sequence.
#
def random_range(start, stop=None, step=None):
import random, math
# Set a default values the same way "range" does.
if (stop == None): start, stop = 0, start
if (step == None): step = 1
# Use a mapping to convert a standard range into the desired range.
mapping = lambda i: (i*step) + start
# Compute the number of numbers in this range.
maximum = (stop - start) // step
# Seed range with a random integer.
value = random.randint(0,maximum)
#
# Construct an offset, multiplier, and modulus for a linear
# congruential generator. These generators are cyclic and
# non-repeating when they maintain the properties:
#
# 1) "modulus" and "offset" are relatively prime.
# 2) ["multiplier" - 1] is divisible by all prime factors of "modulus".
# 3) ["multiplier" - 1] is divisible by 4 if "modulus" is divisible by 4.
#
offset = random.randint(0,maximum) * 2 + 1 # Pick a random odd-valued offset.
multiplier = 4*(maximum//4) + 1 # Pick a multiplier 1 greater than a multiple of 4.
modulus = int(2**math.ceil(math.log2(maximum))) # Pick a modulus just big enough to generate all numbers (power of 2).
# Track how many random numbers have been returned.
found = 0
while found < maximum:
# If this is a valid value, yield it in generator fashion.
if value < maximum:
found += 1
yield mapping(value)
# Calculate the next value in the sequence.
value = (value*multiplier + offset) % modulus
Uso
O uso desta função "intervalo_aleatório" é o mesmo que para qualquer gerador (como "intervalo"). Um exemplo:
# Show off random range.
print()
for v in range(3,6):
v = 2**v
l = list(random_range(v))
print("Need",v,"found",len(set(l)),"(min,max)",(min(l),max(l)))
print("",l)
print()
