python:将for循环转换为递归函数


问题内容

首先,我仍然是python的新手,所以请放轻松。

我已经完成了研究,并且对如何编写递归函数有基本的了解,但是我对前面的任务完全感到困惑。

我真的想要一些提示和指示,以便我自己做才能真正理解。

这是任务:

  1. 遍历字典
  2. 检查是否有“儿童”钥匙
  3. 如果为真,请采取措施
  4. 重复

这是问题

“ option”键嵌套在另一个称为“ children”的键中。在那里,我想遍历每个“儿童”键,直到它们不再存在为止。

这是没有递归的代码。当然,它会失败,因为它过于简单,过于僵化。

#level(one/two/three) refer to the level of nesting, easier for me to know where I am     in the loop.
#qdf_v2 is a particular type of file which is essentially a dictionary

for levelone in qdf_v2['children']:
    if 'children' in levelone:
        store = options
        for leveltwo in levelone['children']:
            if 'children' in leveltwo:
                store = options
                for levelthree in leveltwo['children']:
                    if 'children' in levellevel:
                        repeat....

我想遍历字典,这是“儿童”键,直到它们不再存在为止。

您可以在这里复制一些JSON,并将其粘贴到http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/中,以查看正在使用的JSON

问题答案:

我将按以下方式进行处理:

def recursive(input, output=None):
    if output is None:
        output = {} # container to store results
    if 'children' in input:
        # do whatever, add things to output
        recursive(input['children'], output)
    return output

这样,output字典可用于所有深度的迭代,并return在最后包含所有内容。这意味着您不必显式处理return递归调用的值。

根据您所拥有的,它可能看起来像:

def recursive(input, output=None):
    if output is None:
        output = {} # container to store results
    if 'children' in input:
        for child in input['children']:
            # do whatever, add things to output
            recursive(child, output)
    return output

并且output可以是不同的容器(例如listset)。
