maximum heap priority queue python

For school i have to make an assignment -->
"The city of Amsterdam wants to store the maximum values of the past few years for research
purposes. It is important that the current maximum measured value can be accessed very quickly.
One idea to fulfill this requirement is to use a priority queue. Your job is to implement a priority
queue with a maximum heap and return again a tuple of the current maximal measurement and
its corresponding date when the maximum occurred. Output: date,covid level"
The program takes as input:
(string)’yyyy-mm-dd’, (int)sensor id, (int)covid level.
The expected output is: yyyy-mm-dd,covid level.
Input: 2022−09−08, 23, 371; 2022−09−08, 2, 3171; 2022−09−08, 12, 43; 2021−03−21, 4, 129
Output: 2022 −09 −08, 3171
I have provided my code below. When creating a max heap, the max element should be the first element (root). A Max-Heap is a complete binary tree in which the value in each internal node is greater than or equal to the values in the children of that node, though when inserting the tuples the nodes do not get sorted. My output is very strange, i do not understand where it comes from. When putting in the above input, this is my output:
1.1.1977, 9223372036854775807
could somebody help me? what piece of code am i missing, i have gone over it so many times.

CSP Recursive Calls Fail with with Range(a,b) but not Explicit Range

Sudoku is a well known CSP and, in this case, LC problem. I don't need the solution, which follows.

You are suffering confusion between "generator" and "container".
Consult type( ... ) to tell the difference between them.
Python generators are "lazy", for excellent technical reasons.
Sometimes we can get away with just evaluating
the first K items of an infinite generator.
In your method you want everything greedily pulled out,
and then stored in a container.
The conventional way to phrase this is to wrap map with list:
self.DOMAIN = list(map(str, range(1, 10)))
or perhaps in your case you would prefer that .join pull them out:
self.DOMAIN = ''.join(map(str, range(1, 10)))

How to select parent using roulette wheel?

I'm trying to implement a genetic algorithm for solving the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP).
I have 2 classes, which are City and Fitness.
I have done the code for initialization.
class City:
def __init__(self, x, y):
self.x = x
self.y = y
def distance(self, city):
xDis = abs(self.x - city.x)
yDis = abs(self.y - city.y)
distance = np.sqrt((xDis ** 2) + (yDis ** 2))
return distance
def __repr__(self):
return "(" + str(self.x) + "," + str(self.y) + ")"
class Fitness:
def __init__(self, route):
self.route = route
self.distance = None
self.fitness = None
def routeDistance(self):
if self.distance == None:
pathDistance = 0.0
for i in range(0, len(self.route)):
fromCity = self.route[i]
toCity = None
if i+1 < len(self.route):
toCity = self.route[i+1]
else:
toCity = self.route[0]
pathDistance += fromCity.distance(toCity)
self.distance = pathDistance
return self.distance
def routeFitness(self):
if self.fitness == None:
self.fitness = 1 / float(self.routeDistance())
return self.fitness
def selection(population, size=None):
if size== None:
size= len(population)
matingPool = []
fitnessResults = {}
for i in range(0, size):
fitnessResults[i] = Fitness(population[i]).routeFitness()
matingPool.append(random.choice(population))
return matingPool
The code above just randomly selects a parent in the selection method.
My question is: How to code to select a parent using roulette wheels?

You could try this [1, 2]:
from numpy.random import choice
def selection(population, size=None):
if size== None:
size= len(population)
fitnessResults = []
for i in range(0, size):
fitnessResults.append(Fitness(population[i]).routeFitness())
sum_fitness = sum(fitnessResults)
probability_lst = [f/sum_fitness for f in fitnessResults]
matingPool = choice(population, size=size, p=probability_lst)
return matingPool

Read this
So basically, the higher a fitness value, the higher are its chances to be chosen. But that is when high fitness value means a high fitness. But in TSP a lower value of fitness is better so to implement this, we need to implement the concept where probability is indirectly proportional to the fitness value.
Here is something I had implemented in python with some changes
def choose_parent_using_RWS(genes, S):
P = random.uniform(0, S)
for x in genes:
P += get_fitness_value(x)
if P > S:
return x
return genes[-1]
where S is the sum of the inverse of the fitness values of the current population (i.e, 1/f1 + 1/f2 + 1/f3 + ...)
and
get_fitness_value(x) returns the inverse of the distance, just like your routeFitness() function

Scrambling numbers

I am trying to program an algorithm that scrambles and "unscrambles" integer numbers.
I need two functions forward and backward
backward(number): return a "random" number between 0 and 9, the same input number always returns the same output
forward(number): return the input to backward that returns number
I managed to solve the problem like this:
from random import randint
class Scrambler:
def __init__(self):
self.mapping = [i for i in range(10)]
# scramble mapping
for i in range(1000):
r1 = randint(0, len(self.mapping) - 1)
r2 = randint(0, len(self.mapping) - 1)
temp = self.mapping[r1]
self.mapping[r1] = self.mapping[r2]
self.mapping[r2] = temp
def backward(self, num):
return self.mapping[num]
def forward(self, num):
return self.mapping.index(num)
if __name__ == '__main__':
s = Scrambler()
print(s.mapping)
for i in range(len(s.mapping)):
print(i, s.forward(i), s.backward(i), s.forward(s.backward(i)), s.backward(s.forward(i)))
Is there a way to do this without using the mapping list?
Can i calculate the return value of the functions forward and backward?
The "randomness" of the numbers does not need to be perfect.

I think your current solution is better than coming up with a function each time. It is a good solution.
Here is a generic solution for a generic key. You'd make your version using the Cipher.random_range method I've stuck on.
import random
class Cipher:
def __init__(self, key):
"""
key is a dict of unique values (i.e. bijection)
"""
if len(set(key.values())) != len(key):
raise ValueError('key values are not unique')
self._encoder = key.copy()
self._decoder = {v: k for k, v in key.items()}
#classmethod
def random_range(cls, max):
lst = list(range(max))
random.shuffle(lst)
return cls(dict(enumerate(lst)))
def encode(self, num):
return self._encoder[num]
def decode(self, num):
return self._decoder[num]

binary search delete min

I am wondering in the following code,
In the code below i is set to min child, why is this done instead of say just having i = i*2. Both ways 'lower' the level of the binary heap, I am just curious as to why the minimum would be chosen (Assuming both children are NOT smaller than parent, why is the smaller of the two larger children chosen instead of one of them arbitrarily)
To be clear these methods below also belong to the binaryheap class
def percDown(self,i):
while (i * 2) <= self.currentSize:
mc = self.minChild(i)
if self.heapList[i] > self.heapList[mc]:
tmp = self.heapList[i]
self.heapList[i] = self.heapList[mc]
self.heapList[mc] = tmp
i = mc
def minChild(self,i):
if i * 2 + 1 > self.currentSize:
return i * 2
else:
if self.heapList[i*2] < self.heapList[i*2+1]:
return i * 2
else:
return i * 2 + 1
The code for the binary heap class is
class BinHeap:
def __init__(self):
self.heapList = [0]
self.currentSize = 0
def delMin(self):
retval = self.heapList[1]
self.heapList[1] = self.heapList[self.currentSize]
self.currentSize = self.currentSize - 1
self.heapList.pop()
self.percDown(1)
return retval
