Why does my recursive function return None?
(4 answers)
Closed 7 months ago.
I think I did everything correctly, but the base case return None, instead of False if the value does not exists. I cannot understand why.
def binary_search(lst, value):
if len(lst) == 1:
return lst[0] == value
mid = len(lst)/2
if lst[mid] < value:
binary_search(lst[:mid], value)
elif lst[mid] > value:
binary_search(lst[mid+1:], value)
else:
return True
print binary_search([1,2,4,5], 15)
You need to return the result of the recursive method invocation:
def binary_search(lst, value):
#base case here
if len(lst) == 1:
return lst[0] == value
mid = len(lst)/2
if lst[mid] < value:
return binary_search(lst[:mid], value)
elif lst[mid] > value:
return binary_search(lst[mid+1:], value)
else:
return True
And I think your if and elif condition are reversed. That should be:
if lst[mid] > value: # Should be `>` instead of `<`
# If value at `mid` is greater than `value`,
# then you should search before `mid`.
return binary_search(lst[:mid], value)
elif lst[mid] < value:
return binary_search(lst[mid+1:], value)
Because if return nothing!
if lst[mid] < value:
binary_search(lst[:mid], value)
# hidden return None
elif lst[mid] > value:
binary_search(lst[mid+1:], value)
# hidden return None
else:
return True
You need to return from if and elif too.
def binary_search(lst, value):
#base case here
if len(lst) == 1:
return lst[0] == value
mid = len(lst) / 2
if lst[mid] < value:
return binary_search(lst[:mid], value)
elif lst[mid] > value:
return binary_search(lst[mid+1:], value)
else:
return True

I try to make a binary heap in python but I get trouble printing it. I make sure that the logic in the program is right but when I want to try printing it I get the wrong result. This is what I want for program output:
Input:
6
1 2
1 3
1 7
2
3
2
Output:
7
3
command 1 to insert number
command 2 to display the highest number
command 3 to delete the highest number
This is my program:
class BinaryHeap:
def __init__(self):
self.items = []
def size(self):
return len(self.items)
def parent(self, i):
return (i - 1)//2
def left(self, i):
return 2*i + 1
def right(self, i):
return 2*i + 2
def get(self, i):
return self.items[i]
def get_max(self):
if self.size() == 0:
return None
return self.items[0]
def extract_max(self):
if self.size() == 0:
return None
largest = self.get_max()
self.items[0] = self.items[-1]
del self.items[-1]
self.max_heapify(0)
return largest
def max_heapify(self, i):
l = self.left(i)
r = self.right(i)
if (l <= self.size() - 1 and self.get(l) > self.get(i)):
largest = l
else:
largest = i
if (r <= self.size() - 1 and self.get(r) > self.get(largest)):
largest = r
if (largest != i):
self.swap(largest, i)
self.max_heapify(largest)
def swap(self, i, j):
self.items[i], self.items[j] = self.items[j], self.items[i]
def insert(self, key):
index = self.size()
self.items.append(key)
while (index != 0):
p = self.parent(index)
if self.get(p) < self.get(index):
self.swap(p, index)
index = p
bheap = BinaryHeap()
n = int(input())
for i in range (n):
operation= input('What would you like to do? ').split()
if operation == 1:
data = int(operation[1])
bheap.insert(data)
elif operation == 2:
print('Maximum value: {}'.format(bheap.get_max()))
elif operation == 3:
print('Maximum value removed: {}'.format(bheap.extract_max()))
elif operation == 4:
break
I need your opinion to fixed it.
operation is a list (you called split), but you compare it as an int in your if statements. Also, you should compare it against "1", "2", ... not 1, 2, ...
So:
operation = input('What would you like to do? ').split()
if operation[0] == "1":
data = int(operation[1])
bheap.insert(data)
elif operation[0] == "2":
print('Maximum value: {}'.format(bheap.get_max()))
elif operation[0] == "3":
print('Maximum value removed: {}'.format(bheap.extract_max()))
elif operation[0] == "4":
break
If you just want 7 and 3 in the output, and only after the input has been completely processed, then you should remove those verbose print statement (where you output phrases), and instead collect the output -- for instance in a list:
output = []
n = int(input())
for i in range(n):
operation = input('What would you like to do? ').split()
if operation[0] == "1":
data = int(operation[1])
bheap.insert(data)
elif operation[0] == "2":
output.append(bheap.get_max())
elif operation[0] == "3":
bheap.extract_max()
elif operation[0] == "4":
break
print("\n".join(map(str, output)))

Why Python recursive function returns None [duplicate]
(1 answer)
Closed 2 years ago.
I have a recursive function, I have no idea why the result printed in main is always None.
def find_nega(A: list, start: int, right: int) -> int :
s = start
r = right
mid = (s + r) // 2
if (s >= r):
return None
if (A[mid] == 0):
return mid - 1
if (A[s] < 0 and A[r] >= 0 and s == r - 1):
print(s)
return s
if (A[mid] < 0):
s = mid
find_nega(list1, s, r)
elif (A[mid] > 0):
r=mid
find_nega(list1, s,r)
else:
return mid
if __name__ == "__main__":
list1 = [-3,-2,-1,4,5,6]
x = find_nega(list1, 0, len(list1) - 1)
print(x)
In this example, it enters the condition A[s] < 0 and A[r] >= 0 and s == r - 1 but don't know why it doesn't print 2.
It doesn't print 2 because you don't return the value when you call the recursion. Here it works
def find_nega(A: list, start: int, right: int) -> int:
print(A, start, right)
s = start
r = right
mid = (s + r) // 2
if s >= r:
return None
if A[mid] == 0:
return mid - 1
if A[s] < 0 and A[r] >= 0 and s == r - 1:
#print(s)
return s
if A[mid] < 0:
s = mid
return find_nega(list1, s, r)
elif A[mid] > 0:
r = mid
return find_nega(list1, s, r)
else:
return mid
if __name__ == "__main__":
list1 = [-3, -2, -1, 4, 5, 6]
x = find_nega(list1, 0, len(list1) - 1)
print(x)
I need a little help with the code below, I have been tasked with changing the insertion sort to use the given binary search function.
def binarySearch(aList, start, end, value):
#Return the position where value is or should be inserted.
while start <= end:
mid = (start + end) // 2
if aList[mid] == value:
return mid
if value < aList[mid]:
end = mid - 1
else:
start = mid + 1
return start
def insertionSort(aList):
#Sort aList in ascending order.
for index in range(1, len(aList)):
key = aList[index]
pos = index
while pos > 0 and aList[pos - 1] > key:
aList[pos] = aList[pos - 1]
pos = pos - 1
aList[pos] = key
The code I am using to test the function is:
numbers = [71, 32, 22, 19, 18, 1, 15, 40]
insertionSort(numbers)
print(numbers)
Any help is appreciated as I am having a mind blank
def binary_search(arr, val, start, end):

return binary_search(arr,val,mid, end)
elif arr[mid] > val:
return binary_search(arr, val, start, mid)

I wrote a function to get the next highest value in a binary search tree and return 0 if the input value is the highest in the tree:
def getNext(root, x):
if x > root.d:
if root.r == None:
return 0
else:
if x > root.r.d:
getNext(root.r, x)
else:
temp = root.r
while temp.l != None:
temp = temp.l
return temp.d
else:
if root.l == None:
return root.d
elif x < root.l.d:
getNext(root.l, x)
else:
temp = Node('')
temp = root.l.r #53
if temp.d > x:
getNext(temp, x)
else:
while temp != None:
if temp.r == None:
return root.d
elif x > temp.r.d:
temp = temp.r
else:
getNext(temp.r, x)
break
but it only returns None
I have tried adding a print before the return, and the print actually outputs correctly
Add a return before every recursive call, i.e.
return getNext(root.r,x)
return getNext(root.l,x)
return getNext(temp,x)
return getNext(temp.r,x)

I have written this program after a lot of effort, and I was wondering about the efficiency of that solution and if it's neat.
So my question is, how plain is this program and is there any better way to rewrite it?
just for the point.
>>> eval(raw_input("input calculation: "))
input calculation: 1+1
2
>>> eval(raw_input("input calculation: "))
input calculation: (6*4^2)
26
>>> eval(raw_input("input calculation: "))
input calculation: (3/2.3)*4
5.2173913043478262
for an innocent program, you can use eval
but you really shouldn't use it ever. its only real use is confusing people, and being a fun novelty if you write programs fro yourself and decide you want a calculator.
there are many ways to write a calculator function.
