C++: Insert vector into anonymous vector, recursively
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
My goal is to generate vector with pattern {1} given max_=2, {1,2,1} given max_=3, {1,2,1,3,1,2,1} given max_=4... etc
Here is my psuedocode:
std::vector<int> generate_zimin(int max_)
{
if(max_ == 2)
{
return {1};
}
else
{
return {generate_zimin(max_-1), (max_-1), generate_zimin(max_-1)};
}
}
How do I insert vectors into an anonymous vector?
edit:
std::vector<int> generate_zimin(std::vector<int> current, int max_)
{
if(max_ == 2)
{
return {1};
}
else
{
std::vector<int> prev = generate_zimin(current, max_-1);
current.insert(current.end(), std::begin(prev), std::end(prev));
current.push_back(max_-1);
current.insert(current.end(), std::begin(prev), std::end(prev));
return current;
}
}
looks a lot less elegant, and I was just trying to avoid that, but I can see
why I was wrong.

You don't. Why does it have to be "anonymous"? What's wrong with using a local variable to accumulate the result?

There isn't really a way to do it in a one-liner. See this question about concatenating vectors: stackoverflow.com/questions/201718/concatenating-two-stdvectors

@IgorTandetnik By using local variable, I should declare an empty vector at the start of the function, and append generate_zimin(max_-1) to it, then push_back max_-1 to it, then append generate_zimin(max_z-1), then return it?

Not only is there no syntax for this, it is a bad idea for performance. You'll be allocating and deallocating vectors on every function call. You should create a single vector at the beginning and use it in all the calls. This could improve performance by a factor of 100.
You can even calculate the total size of the vector at the beginning and reserve()
the needed capacity.
How would I reserve the needed capacity when its function is also recursive? A generate_zimin(n)'s total space = 2*generate_zimin(n-1)'s total space +1. I must be overthinking this too much
– Bo Work
Nov 24 '18 at 4:10
Total capacities are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31. Punch that into a search and voila: oeis.org/A000225 - it is2^n - 1
