如何在c＃中创build一个trie

有谁知道我在哪里可以find一个如何在C＃中构build一个trie的例子。 我正在尝试使用字典/单词列表并创build一个trie。

Answer 1

这是我自己的代码，从我的答案拉如何从字符数组中find一个单词？ ：

public class Trie { public struct Letter { public const string Chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"; public static implicit operator Letter(char c) { return new Letter() { Index = Chars.IndexOf(c) }; } public int Index; public char ToChar() { return Chars[Index]; } public override string ToString() { return Chars[Index].ToString(); } } public class Node { public string Word; public bool IsTerminal { get { return Word != null; } } public Dictionary<Letter, Node> Edges = new Dictionary<Letter, Node>(); } public Node Root = new Node(); public Trie(string[] words) { for (int w = 0; w < words.Length; w++) { var word = words[w]; var node = Root; for (int len = 1; len <= word.Length; len++) { var letter = word[len - 1]; Node next; if (!node.Edges.TryGetValue(letter, out next)) { next = new Node(); if (len == word.Length) { next.Word = word; } node.Edges.Add(letter, next); } node = next; } } } 

Answer 2

看看这个codeplex项目：

https://trienet.codeplex.com/

它是一个包含经过良好testing的通用c＃trie类别的几种不同变体的库，包括patricia trie和并行trie。

• Trie – 简单的trie，只允许前缀search，如.Where(s => s.StartsWith(searchString))
• SuffixTrie – 也允许中缀search，如.Where(s => s.Contains(searchString))
• PatriciaTrie – 压缩的trie，更紧凑，在查找过程中效率更高一些，但是durig的构build相当慢。
• SuffixPatriciaTrie PatriciaTrie – 与PatriciaTrie ，也可以实现中缀search。
• ParallelTrie – 非常原始的并行数据结构，允许同时添加数据和从不同线程获取结果。

一个简单的Trie实现。

http://github.com/bharathkumarms/AlgorithmsMadeEasy/blob/master/AlgorithmsMadeEasy/Tries.cs

 using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; namespace AlgorithmsMadeEasy { class Tries { TrieNode root; public void CreateRoot() { root = new TrieNode(); } public void Add(char[] chars) { TrieNode tempRoot = root; int total = chars.Count() - 1; for (int i = 0; i < chars.Count(); i++) { TrieNode newTrie; if (tempRoot.children.Keys.Contains(chars[i])) { tempRoot = tempRoot.children[chars[i]]; } else { newTrie = new TrieNode(); if (total == i) { newTrie.endOfWord = true; } tempRoot.children.Add(chars[i], newTrie); tempRoot = newTrie; } } } public bool FindPrefix(char[] chars) { TrieNode tempRoot = root; for (int i = 0; i < chars.Count(); i++) { if (tempRoot.children.Keys.Contains(chars[i])) { tempRoot = tempRoot.children[chars[i]]; } else { return false; } } return true; } public bool FindWord(char[] chars) { TrieNode tempRoot = root; int total = chars.Count() - 1; for (int i = 0; i < chars.Count(); i++) { if (tempRoot.children.Keys.Contains(chars[i])) { tempRoot = tempRoot.children[chars[i]]; if (total == i) { if (tempRoot.endOfWord == true) { return true; } } } else { return false; } } return false; } } public class TrieNode { public Dictionary<char, TrieNode> children = new Dictionary<char, TrieNode>(); public bool endOfWord; } } /* Calling Code: Tries t = new Tries(); t.CreateRoot(); t.Add("abc".ToCharArray()); t.Add("abgl".ToCharArray()); t.Add("cdf".ToCharArray()); t.Add("abcd".ToCharArray()); t.Add("lmn".ToCharArray()); bool findPrefix1 = t.FindPrefix("ab".ToCharArray()); bool findPrefix2 = t.FindPrefix("lo".ToCharArray()); bool findWord1 = t.FindWord("lmn".ToCharArray()); bool findWord2 = t.FindWord("ab".ToCharArray()); bool findWord3 = t.FindWord("cdf".ToCharArray()); bool findWord4 = t.FindWord("ghi".ToCharArray()); */

我刚刚在C＃中创build了一个Trie实现：
