java - 我的合并排序实现中的运行时错误

Question

我编写了以下归并排序代码。

public class mergesort {

    public static int a[];

    public static void merges (int work[], int low, int high) {
        if (low==high)
            return;
        else {
            int mid = (low+high)/2;
            merges(work,low,mid);
            merges(work,mid+1,high);
            merge(work,low,mid+1,high);
        }
    }

    public static void main (String[] args) {
        int a[] = new int[] {64, 21, 33, 70, 12, 85, 44, 99, 36, 108};
        merges(a,0,a.length-1);
        for (int i=0; i<a.length; i++) {
            System.out.println(a[i]);
        }
    }


    public static void merge (int work[], int low, int high, int upper) {
        int j = 0;
        int l = low;
        int mid = high-1;
        int n = upper-l+1;
        while (low<=mid && high<=upper)
            if (a[low] < a[high])
                work[j++] = a[low++];
            else
                work[j++] = a[high++];
        while (low <= mid)
            work[j++]=a[low++];
        while (high <= upper)
            work[j++] = a[high++];
        for (j=0;j<n;j++)
            a[l+j]=work[j];
    }
}

它不起作用。编译后出现这个错误:

java.lang.NullPointerException
    at mergesort.merge(mergesort.java:45)
    at mergesort.merges(mergesort.java:12)
    at mergesort.merges(mergesort.java:10)
    at mergesort.merges(mergesort.java:10)
    at mergesort.merges(mergesort.java:10)
    at mergesort.main(mergesort.java:27)

如何解决这个问题？

Answer 1

你有两个名为 a 的数组:

一个静态的，mergesort.a:

public static int a[];

和 main 中的局部变量:

int a[]=new int[]{64,21,33,70,12,85,44,99,36,108};

当您在 merge 中使用 a 时，您使用的是从未初始化的静态成员。
如果你想初始化mergesort.a，你应该这样写

a = new int[]{64,21,33,70,12,85,44,99,36,108};

但是，这会使 merge 变得奇怪，因为它将 work = a 作为参数，并引用静态 mergesort.a，这将是相同的数组。

困惑？我也是……:)
