本文档旨在指导开发者如何使用Java和JSON数据，计算一个基于JSON配置的问卷调查中所有可能的路径数量。我们将通过一个实际的问卷调查JSON结构示例，展示如何使用递归算法有效地遍历所有可能的答案分支，并最终得到路径总数。重点在于理解递归在解决此类问题中的应用，以及如何根据JSON结构调整递归逻辑。
理解JSON问卷结构
首先，我们需要理解问卷调查的JSON结构。 如下示例：
{
"What is your marital status?": {
"Single": "Are you planning on getting married next year?",
"Married": "How long have you been married?"
},
"Are you planning on getting married next year?": {
"Yes": "0 Thanks for your answers! We hope that you will build a cool family!",
"No": "0 Thanks for your answers! Who knows, maybe you'll find someone significant in your life!"
},
"How long have you been married?": {
"Less than a year": "0 Thanks for your answers! We hope that you will celebrate your one year anniversary soon!",
"More than a year": "Have you celebrated your one year anniversary?"
},
"Have you celebrated your one year anniversary?": {
"Yes": "0 Wow, cool! Keep it up! Thanks for your answers.\"," +
"No": "0 We think you should fix it next time! Thanks for your answers!"
}
}在这个结构中，每个问题都是一个键，其对应的值是一个JSON对象，该对象包含了问题的答案选项以及根据这些答案选项下一步应该提出的问题。 以"What is your marital status?"为例，如果答案是"Single"，那么下一个问题将是"Are you planning on getting married next year?"。 以0开头的答案表示问卷调查的结束。
递归计算路径数量
为了计算所有可能的路径数量，我们可以使用递归算法。 递归函数将接收JSON节点和当前问题作为输入。

以下是Java代码实现：
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;
public class QuizPathCounter {
public static int countWays(JsonNode node, String question) {
JsonNode answers = node.get(question);
if (answers == null) {
return 1; // 达到终点，算作一种方式
}
AtomicInteger ways = new AtomicInteger();
answers.fields().forEachRemaining(answer ->
ways.addAndGet(countWays(node, answer.getValue().asText())));
return ways.get();
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
String jsonString = "{" +
" \"What is your marital status?\": {" +
" \"Single\": \"Are you planning on getting married next year?\"," +
" \"Married\": \"How long have you been married?\"" +
" }," +
" \"Are you planning on getting married next year?\": {" +
" \"Yes\": \"0 Thanks for your answers! We hope that you will build a cool family!\"," +
" \"No\": \"0 Thanks for your answers! Who knows, maybe you'll find someone significant in your life!\"" +
" }," +
" \"How long have you been married?\": {" +
" \"Less than a year\": \"0 Thanks for your answers! We hope that you will celebrate your one year anniversary soon!\"," +
" \"More than a year\": \"Have you celebrated your one year anniversary?\"" +
" }," +
" \"Have you celebrated your one year anniversary?\": {" +
" \"Yes\": \"0 Wow, cool! Keep it up! Thanks for your answers.\"," +
" \"No\": \"0 We think you should fix it next time! Thanks for your answers!\"" +
" }" +
"}";
JsonNode node = new ObjectMapper().readTree(jsonString);
System.out.println(countWays(node, "What is your marital status?")); // 输出路径总数
}
}代码解释：
-
countWays(JsonNode node, String question) 函数：
- 接收JSON节点 node 和当前问题 question 作为输入。
- 如果当前问题没有对应的答案（answers == null），说明到达了问卷的终点，返回 1，表示找到了一条有效路径。
- 否则，遍历当前问题的所有答案选项，并对每个选项递归调用 countWays 函数，累加所有子路径的数量。
- 使用 AtomicInteger 保证在多线程环境下累加操作的原子性（虽然在此示例中没有用到多线程，但这是一个良好的实践）。
-
main 函数：
- 加载JSON数据。
- 调用 countWays 函数，并从起始问题 "What is your marital status?" 开始计算路径总数。
- 打印输出结果。
注意事项：
- 确保正确引入 Jackson 库（com.fasterxml.jackson.databind）以解析JSON数据。 如果你使用 Maven， 可以在 pom.xml 文件中添加以下依赖：
com.fasterxml.jackson.core jackson-databind 2.13.0
- 递归算法可能会导致堆栈溢出，特别是当问卷结构非常深时。 在这种情况下，可以考虑使用迭代算法来代替递归。
- 如果JSON结构发生变化，需要相应地调整递归逻辑。
总结
使用递归算法可以有效地计算JSON驱动的问卷调查中所有可能的路径数量。通过理解JSON结构和递归原理，可以根据实际情况调整算法，以满足不同的需求。同时，需要注意递归可能带来的性能问题，并根据情况选择合适的算法。
