Refactoring similar method using a LinkedList - c#

This is a refactoring question mainly.
I am creating some methods to go back/forward through an actions history depending on its Id/PreviousId relationship (see basic class below):
public class Action
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public int PreviousId { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
}
Background Info:
I start off by getting a single action from the database. If the user selects 'GoBack', I need to get the previous action from the database and store it in a LinkedList. This means users can potentially revisit that same action (i.e. by going back then forward again) but by calling it from the LinkedList version rather than getting it from the database again. I don't want to initially retrieve all actions first either from the database. I have this functionality working but my GoBack() and GoForward() methods are pretty much identical.
I was hoping to see if there is a good way of refactoring this into a more generic method set rather than duplicating code? (Note - my code doesn't include the database calls to reduce reading so instead I've put dummy data into a List to act as my database).
Class level variables I'm referencing in the methods:
//The list I'm using to pretend to be my database containing actions
private List<Action> _actions { get; set; }
private Action _currentAction { get; set; }
private LinkedList<Action> _actionLinks { get; set; }
Here is my GoBack() method:
private void GoBack()
{
var current = _actionLinks.Find(_currentAction);
if (current == null)
return;
//If we've already stored the previous action. Just point to it
if (current.Previous != null)
{
_currentAction = current.Previous.Value;
return;
}
//We don't have this action stored so go get it from the database and cache it in the list
var previousAction = _actions.FirstOrDefault(i => i.Id == _currentAction.PreviousId);
//There are no previous actions
if(previousAction == null)
return;
_actionLinks.AddBefore(current, previousAction);
//Now reset the current action
_currentAction = previousAction;
}
Here is my GoForward() method:
private void GoForward()
{
var current = _actionLinks.Find(_currentAction);
if (current == null)
return;
//If we've already stored the next action. Just point to it
if (current.Next != null)
{
_currentAction = current.Next.Value;
return;
}
//We don't have this action stored so go get it from the database and cache it in the list
var nextAction = _actions.FirstOrDefault(i => i.PreviousId == _currentAction.Id);
//There are no further actions
if (nextAction == null)
return;
_actionLinks.AddAfter(current, nextAction);
//Now reset the current action
_currentAction = nextAction;
}
If you want to compile the code. I've added in my Constructor and BuildData method I'm using to test this:
Constructor:
public LinkListTest()
{
_actionLinks = new LinkedList<Action>();
_actions = new List<Action>();
BuildData();
//Just set current to the latest action id
_currentAction = _actions.First(i => i.Id == 6);
//Add it to the linkedlist
_actionLinks.AddFirst(_currentAction);
//Start navigating as a user would
GoBack();
GoBack();
GoForward();
GoBack();
GoForward();
GoBack();
GoBack();
}
BuildData method:
private void BuildData()
{
for (int i = 6; i >= 0; i--)
{
var action = new Action();
action.Id = i;
if (i != 0)
action.PreviousId = i - 1;
else
action.PreviousId = -1;
action.Title = string.Format("Action {0}", i);
_actions.Add(action);
}
}
Thanks in advance!

One way to de-duplicate some of the logic here is to use the visitor pattern.
using ActionListAction = System.Action<System.Collections.Generic.LinkedList<Package.Action>, System.Collections.Generic.LinkedListNode<Package.Action> ,Package.Action>;
...
private void GoBack()
{
Move(new BackwordVisitor());
}
private void GoForward()
{
Move(new ForwardVisitor());
}
private void Move(DirectionVisitor direction)
{
var current = _actionLinks.Find(_currentAction);
if (current == null)
return;
var node = direction.Pointer(current);
if (node != null)
{
_currentAction = node.Value;
return;
}
var action = _actions.FirstOrDefault(i => direction.NextSelector(i, _currentAction));
//There are no further actions
if (action == null)
return;
direction.Add(_actionLinks, current, action);
_currentAction = action;
}
private abstract class DirectionVisitor
{
public Func<LinkedListNode<Action>, LinkedListNode<Action>> Pointer { protected set; get; }
public Func<Action, Action, bool> NextSelector { protected set; get; }
public ActionListAction Add { protected set; get; }
}
private class ForwardVisitor : DirectionVisitor
{
public Forward()
{
Pointer = n => n.Next;
NextSelector = (action, current) => action.PreviousId == current.Id;
Add = (list, current, node) => list.AddAfter(current, node);
}
}
private class BackwordVisitor : DirectionVisitor
{
public Backword()
{
Pointer = n => n.Previous;
NextSelector = (action, current) => action.Id == current.PreviousId;
Add = (list, current, node) => list.AddBefore(current, node);
}
}
Since there are only two options for moving through the list, this may be overkill for this particular scenario. Passing an enum into the Move method with the direction and using conditionals may read better.

Getting the callstack from a method 'A' (MethodBase/MethodInfo) being called from 'B' or 'C' without the stacktrace

Well, I would like to do my own benchmarking system like spark in Minecraft (https://github.com/lucko/spark):
I'm using Harmony lib (https://github.com/pardeike/Harmony) which allows me to interact/modify methods and allows me to add a Prefix/Postfix on each call that will help me out with this stack.
The basic structure has something similar to (https://github.com/pardeike/Harmony/issues/355):
[HarmonyPatch]
class MyPatches
{
static IEnumerable<MethodBase> TargetMethods()
{
return AccessTools.GetTypesFromAssembly(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly())
.SelectMany(type => type.GetMethods())
.Where(method => method.ReturnType != typeof(void) && method.Name.StartsWith("Do"));
}
static void Prefix(out Stopwatch __state, MethodBase __originalMethod)
{
__state = Stopwatch.StartNew();
// ...
}
static void Postfix(Stopwatch __state, MethodBase __originalMethod)
{
__state.Stop();
// ....
}
}
The problem here is that the __originalMethod doesn't take care if it was called from A or B.
So for example, we had patched string.Join method. And the we call from A or B, where A or B, is the full callstack of this method.
So first, we need to assign a ID to this call, and we need to create a Tree-based structure (which is hard to serialize later), from here (https://stackoverflow.com/a/36649069/3286975):
public class TreeModel : Tree<TreeModel>
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public TreeModel() { }
public TreeModel(TreeModel parent) : base(parent) { }
}
public class Tree<T> where T : Tree<T>
{
protected Tree() : this(null) { }
protected Tree(T parent)
{
Parent=parent;
Children=new List<T>();
if(parent!=null)
{
parent.Children.Add(this as T);
}
}
public T Parent { get; set; }
public List<T> Children { get; set; }
public bool IsRoot { get { return Parent==null; } }
public T Root { get { return IsRoot?this as T:Parent.Root; } }
public T RecursiveFind(Predicate<T> check)
{
if(check(this as T)) return this as T;
foreach(var item in Children)
{
var result=item.RecursiveFind(check);
if(result!=null)
{
return result;
}
}
return null;
}
}
Now, the thing is that we need to fill the Tree as long as we iterate all the method and instructions got from Harmony. Forget about Harmony for a second, I will explain only two facts about it.
The lib allows you first to get all patched methods through IEnumerable<MethodBase> TargetMethods() so, you have the Assembly X passed through reflection and filtered all methods that are allowed to be patched (some of them broke Unity, so I decided to skip methods from UnityEngine., UnityEditor. and System.* namespaces).
And we have also the ReadMethodBody method (https://harmony.pardeike.net/api/HarmonyLib.PatchProcessor.html#HarmonyLib_PatchProcessor_ReadMethodBody_System_Reflection_MethodBase_) from a given MethodBase it returns all IL stack instructions.
So we can start to iterate over and over in order to get all instructions and fill the entire tree. This is what I wrote last night:
internal static class BenchmarkEnumerator
{
internal static Dictionary<MethodBase, int> Mappings { get; } = new Dictionary<MethodBase, int>();
internal static Dictionary<int, TreeModel> TreeIDs { get; } = new Dictionary<int, TreeModel>();
internal static Dictionary<MethodBase, BenchmarkTreeModel> TreeMappings { get; } = new Dictionary<MethodBase, BenchmarkTreeModel>();
private static HashSet<int> IDUsed { get; } = new HashSet<int>();
public static int GetID(this MethodBase method)
{
return GetID(method, out _);
}
public static int GetID(this MethodBase method, out bool contains)
{
// A > X = X1
// B > X = X2
if (!Mappings.ContainsKey(method))
{
var id = Mappings.Count;
Mappings.Add(method, Mappings.Count);
IDUsed.Add(id);
contains = false;
return id;
}
contains = true;
return Mappings[method];
}
public static int GetFreeID()
{
int id;
Random rnd = new Random();
do
{
id = rnd.Next();
} while (IDUsed.Contains(id));
IDUsed.Add(id);
return id;
}
public static BenchmarkCall GetCall(int id)
{
return TreeIDs[id]?.Call;
}
public static BenchmarkCall GetCall(this MethodBase method)
{
return TreeIDs[Mappings[method]]?.Call;
}
}
The BenchmarkEnumerator class allow us to differentiate between A or B, but it doesn't care about the full hierarchy, only from the parent MethodBase itself, so I need to write something complex to take in care of the full call stack, which I said I have a problem to understand.
Then we have the TargetMethods:
private static IEnumerable<MethodBase> TargetMethods()
{
Model = new BenchmarkTreeModel();
var sw = Stopwatch.StartNew();
//int i = 0;
return Filter.GetTargetMethods(method =>
{
try
{
var instructions = PatchProcessor.ReadMethodBody(method);
var i = method.GetID(out var contains);
var tree = new TreeModel
{
ID = i
};
if (contains)
{
//var lastId = i;
i = GetFreeID();
tree.ID = i;
tree.FillMethodName($"{method.GetMethodSignature()}_{i}"); // TODO: Check this
tree.Parent = null;
tree.Children = TreeMappings[method].Forest.First().Children; // ??
//DictionaryHelper.AddOrAppend(TreeMappings, method, tree);
TreeMappings[method].Forest.Add(tree);
TreeIDs.Add(i, tree);
Model.Forest.Add(tree);
// UNIT TESTING: All contained methods at this point will have a parent.
// string.Join is being added as a method by a instruction, so when we try to patch it, it will have already a reference on the dictionary
// Here, we check if the method was already added by a instruction CALL
// Logic: If the method is already contained by the mapping dictionary
// then, we will exit adding a new that will have the same childs but a new ID
return false;
}
TreeIDs.Add(i, tree);
tree.FillMethodName($"{method.GetMethodSignature()}_{i}"); // TODO: Check this
foreach (var pair in instructions)
{
var opcode = pair.Key;
if (opcode != OpCodes.Call || opcode != OpCodes.Callvirt) continue;
var childMethod = (MethodBase)pair.Value;
var id = childMethod.GetID(out var _contains);
var subTree = new TreeModel(tree)
{
ID = id
};
if (_contains)
{
id = GetFreeID();
subTree.ID = id;
subTree.FillMethodName($"{childMethod.GetMethodSignature()}_{id}"); // TODO: Check this
subTree.Parent = TreeIDs[i];
subTree.Children = TreeMappings[childMethod].Forest.First().Children;
TreeIDs.Add(id, subTree);
continue;
}
TreeIDs.Add(id, subTree);
subTree.FillMethodName($"{childMethod.GetMethodSignature()}_{id}");
tree.Children.Add(subTree);
TreeMappings.Add(childMethod, new BenchmarkTreeModel());
TreeMappings[childMethod].Forest.Add(subTree);
}
TreeMappings.Add(method, new BenchmarkTreeModel());
TreeMappings[method].Forest.Add(tree);
Model.Forest.Add(tree);
return true;
//var treeModel = new TreeModel();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//Debug.LogException(new Exception(method.GetMethodSignature(), ex));
return false;
}
}, sw);
//return methods;
}
The GetMethodSignature is something like:
public static string GetMethodSignature(this MethodBase method)
{
if (method == null) return null;
return method.DeclaringType == null ? method.Name : $"{method.DeclaringType.FullName}.{method.Name}";
}
I think I'll replace it with the MethodBase.ToString instead (what do you think?)
Also, we have the BenchmarkCall class which allow us to take in care how many times the call was done and how many time it has spent at all:
[Serializable]
public class BenchmarkCall
{
public string Method { get; set; }
public double SpentMilliseconds { get; set; }
public long SpentTicks { get; set; }
public double MinSpentMs { get; set; } = double.MaxValue;
public double MaxSpentMs { get; set; } = double.MinValue;
public long MinSpentTicks { get; set; } = long.MaxValue;
public long MaxSpentTicks { get; set; } = long.MinValue;
public double AvgMs => SpentMilliseconds / TimesCalled;
public double AvgTicks => SpentTicks / (double)TimesCalled;
public BenchmarkCall()
{
}
public BenchmarkCall(MethodBase method)
{
Method = method.GetMethodSignature();
}
public override string ToString()
{
if (TimesCalled > 0)
return "BenchmarkCall{\n" +
$"Ticks[SpentTicks={SpentTicks},MinTicks={MinSpentTicks},MaxTicks={MaxSpentTicks},AvgTicks={AvgTicks:F2}]\n" +
$"Ms[SpentMs={SpentMilliseconds:F2},MinMs={MinSpentMs:F2},MaxMs={MaxSpentMs:F2},AvgMs={AvgMs:F2}]\n" +
"}";
return "BenchmarkCall{}";
}
}
}
So I think that my next movement will be to differentiate between X method being called from A or B (Xa or Xb) taking care of the full hierarchy (which I'm not sure how to do) instead of the parent method that calls it, maybe the code I wrote has some to do it with it, but I'm not sure (last night I was so tired, so I didn't code it taking care those facts), build up a list of method signatures with different IDs, and then fill up the tree, ID 1 is Xa and ID 2 is Xb (where I have problems also filling up the tree).
Also I'll need to use the Transpiler in order to alter all code instructions, so if a method has:
void method() {
X1();
X2();
}
We will need to add 2 methods (like prefix/postfix) to measure each instruction call:
void method() {
Start(1);
X1();
End(1);
Start(2);
X2();
End(2);
}
This will be a hard task, but I hope somebody could guide me with this out.

Is it possible to clear objects with the get property after calling the class?

this below to sample code;
private ExampleStatus _status;
public ExampleStatus status
{
get
{
if (_status == null) _status = new ExampleStatus();
//if (_status.receivedData) _status.receivedData = false; //this line is incorrect !
return _status;
}
}
public class ExampleStatus
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public bool receivedData { get; set; }
//I don't want to use this method
public void Clear()
{
Id = 0;
Name = string.Empty;
receivedData = false;
}
}
int stateType = 0;
void ContinuousLoop(ExampleStatus statusObj)
{
while (true)
{
//I don't want to use the options below
//statusObj.Clear();
//or
//statusObj = new ExampleStatus();
if (stateType == 0)
{
statusObj.Id = 0;
statusObj.Name = "Firs Status";
}
else if (stateType == 1)
{
statusObj.Id = 1;
statusObj.Name = "Second Status";
statusObj.receivedData = true;
}
else if (stateType == 2)
{
statusObj.Id = 2;
statusObj.Name = "Third Status";
}
}
}
void RunThread()
{
var t1 = new Thread(() =>
{
ContinuousLoop(status);
});
t1.Start();
}
Is it possible to set default values ​​without a method or new instance, as shown in the example?
Actually that's why I'm asking this question:
I will use the class I have defined in many places. I will need to add a block of code, such as the Clear method, to every place I use it.
I'm also curious about one more thing. If I assign a new instance every time to reset my objects, does this cause problems in memory?
I know more or less how garbage collections work. However, they say that in practice it does not work as said in theory.
So if I add "IDisposable" to my Class, it would tell the garbage collector: Welcome, I'm a litter. Will you take me too?

ArgumentOutOfRangeException despite boundary checks

I have created custom button in winforms in which i've added property with a list of custom class: List<Zasoby> and a method to add item to this list only when there is already item in that list that meets specific criteria (the lambda .where expression).
The class Zasob is serializable.
And in designer i add first Zasob to the list in this button like this:
bt01008xxx.Zasoby.Add(new Zasob { Lokalizacja = new Lokalizacja("01", "008", "000") });
..
public class ZasobSzczegolowoButton: Button, IAddZasoby
{
private List<Zasob> _zasoby = new List<Zasob>(); //{ new Zasob { Lokalizacja = new Lokalizacja("01", "001", "000") } };
[EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Always)]
[Browsable(true)]
[DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Visible)]
[Bindable(true)]
public List<Zasob> Zasoby
{
get { return _zasoby; }
set
{
_zasoby = value;
if (_zasoby.Any()) BackColor = _zasoby.Sum(x => x.Ilosc) > 0 ? Color.Coral : Color.White;
}
}
public void AddZasoby(List<Zasob> zasoby)
{
var buton = Name;
if (_zasoby != null && _zasoby.Count != 0)
{
var szukaneZasoby =
zasoby?.Where(
x =>
x.Lokalizacja.ObszarKod == _zasoby[0].Lokalizacja.ObszarKod &&
x.Lokalizacja.Segment1 == _zasoby[0].Lokalizacja.Segment1);
if (szukaneZasoby == null) return;
Zasoby.Clear();
Zasoby.AddRange(szukaneZasoby);
}
}
}
...
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class | AttributeTargets.Struct | AttributeTargets.Enum | AttributeTargets.Delegate,Inherited = false)]
[ComVisible(true)]
public class Zasob : Attribute
{
public Towar Towar { get; set; }
public Magazyn Magazyn { get; set; }
public Lokalizacja Lokalizacja { get; set; }
public decimal Ilosc { get; set; }
}
Now whenever i try to use method AddZasoby i get System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException. I check the list for null and count items and in debug mode and it shoud exit method but still somehow ends up in the body of the method with the error. (please see the screenshot below)
Any idea what am i doing wrong?
You check the list correctly for the count but with the code Zasoby.Clear(); you clear those elements from the member variable _zasoby again.
Don't let it trick yourself: You're defining the Where()-clause before you clear the list but it will be executed afterwards! That's the trick with lambdas, the predicates you wrote in your Where()-lambda will just be executed as soon as it is evaluated.
This feature is called Deferred Execution, see the first example here.
To fix that, you can enforce the lambda to be executed immediately by calling ToArray() or ToList() before you clear your list like:
public void AddZasoby(List<Zasob> zasoby)
{
var buton = Name;
if (_zasoby != null && _zasoby.Count != 0)
{
var szukaneZasoby =
zasoby?.Where(
x =>
x.Lokalizacja.ObszarKod == _zasoby[0].Lokalizacja.ObszarKod &&
x.Lokalizacja.Segment1 == _zasoby[0].Lokalizacja.Segment1
).ToList(); // *** NOTE ME HERE ***
if (szukaneZasoby == null) return;
Zasoby.Clear();
Zasoby.AddRange(szukaneZasoby);
}
}
That should do the trick.

Binding Multiple MvxSpinner to a ICommand

I am creating varied number of MvxSpinners programmatically. The number of the MvxSpinners generated cannot be predetermined. It is determined by the user input.
I have a List<Beneficiary>. Each MvxSpinner is meant to update each Beneficiary in the collection.
Since I cannot determine the number of MvxSpinner (which corresponds to the count of the Beneficiary in the collection) to be generated, I am forced to have one ICommand to handle all the HandleSelectedItem event of the MvxSpinners.
The Challenge
I am having difficulty determining the index of the List<Beneficiary> to update depending on the MvxSpinner the user clicked.
An Example
let
var BeneficiaryList=new List<Beneficiary>()
If there are 5 Beneficiary object in the collection, 5 MvxSpinner will be generated.
If the user selects a MVXSpinner which is meant to update index 2 of the collection, how do i determine the index of Beneficary to update?
What I have tried
private IList<Beneficiary> _beneficiaryList;
public IList<Beneficiary> BeneficiaryList
{
get { return _beneficiaryList; }
set { _beneficiaryList= value; RaisePropertyChanged(() => BeneficiaryList); }
}
public ICommand UpdateBeneficiary=> new MvxCommand<Beneficiary>(item =>
{
//item is of type Beneficiary
//But I do not know which index of BeneficiaryList to update
});
Your help will be deeply appreciated.
You probably need a List of ICommands too, one for each spinner. Something like this in your view model...
private IList<ICommand> _commands;
public IList<ICommand> Commands {
get {
if (_commands == null) {
_commands = BeneficiaryList.Select(x => new MvxCommand<Beneficiary>(item => {
...
}));
}
return _commands;
}
}
And set up your bindings like this (assuming you've got a list of spinners)
for (int i = 0; i < spinners.Count; i++) {
var spinner = spinners[i];
set.Bind (spinner).To(vm => vm.Commands[i]);
}
Well, it is interesting to answer my own question.
What I did was to give each Spinner a unique ID that corresponds to the index of the collection.
I created a custom Spinner called MvxSpinnerIndexer extending MvxSpinner (I really do not think it matters. You can just extend Spinner). MvxSpinnerIndexer retrieved the Id and the SelectedItem and then placed the two into a Dictionary
Here is the source for MvxSpinnerIndexer
public class MvxSpinnerIndexer : Spinner
{
public MvxSpinnerIndexer(Context context, IAttributeSet attrs)
: this(
context, attrs,
new MvxAdapter(context)
{
SimpleViewLayoutId = global::Android.Resource.Layout.SimpleDropDownItem1Line
})
{ }
public MvxSpinnerIndexer(Context context, IAttributeSet attrs, IMvxAdapter adapter)
: base(context, attrs)
{
var itemTemplateId = MvxAttributeHelpers.ReadListItemTemplateId(context, attrs);
var dropDownItemTemplateId = MvxAttributeHelpers.ReadDropDownListItemTemplateId(context, attrs);
adapter.ItemTemplateId = itemTemplateId;
adapter.DropDownItemTemplateId = dropDownItemTemplateId;
Adapter = adapter;
SetupHandleItemSelected();
}
public new IMvxAdapter Adapter
{
get { return base.Adapter as IMvxAdapter; }
set
{
var existing = Adapter;
if (existing == value)
return;
if (existing != null && value != null)
{
value.ItemsSource = existing.ItemsSource;
value.ItemTemplateId = existing.ItemTemplateId;
}
base.Adapter = value;
}
}
[MvxSetToNullAfterBinding]
public IEnumerable ItemsSource
{
get { return Adapter.ItemsSource; }
set { Adapter.ItemsSource = value; }
}
public int ItemTemplateId
{
get { return Adapter.ItemTemplateId; }
set { Adapter.ItemTemplateId = value; }
}
public int DropDownItemTemplateId
{
get { return Adapter.DropDownItemTemplateId; }
set { Adapter.DropDownItemTemplateId = value; }
}
public ICommand HandleItemSelected { get; set; }
public int ViewId { get; set; }
private void SetupHandleItemSelected()
{
ItemSelected += (sender, args) =>
{
//sender.
var control = (MvxSpinnerIndexer)sender;
var controlId = control.Id;
var position = args.Position;
HandleSelected(position, controlId);
};
}
protected virtual void HandleSelected(int position, int? controlId)
{
var item = Adapter.GetRawItem(position);
var content = new Dictionary<string, object> {{"Index", controlId}, {"SelectedItem", item}};
//var param = new ListItemWithIndexModel { Index = controlId, SelectedItem = item };
if (HandleItemSelected == null
|| item == null
|| !HandleItemSelected.CanExecute(content))
return;
HandleItemSelected.Execute(content);
}
}
In your ViewModel
public ICommand SpinnerSelected => new MvxCommand<Dictionary<string, object>>(item =>
{
var selectedItem = item["SelectedItem"] as ListItemModel;//Cast to the actual model
var index = item["Index"] as int?;//The index of the collection to update
});
I believe this will be useful to the community.

traveling salesman problem, 2-opt algorithm c# implementation

Can someone give me a code sample of 2-opt algorithm for traveling salesman problem. For now im using nearest neighbour to find the path but this method is far from perfect, and after some research i found 2-opt algorithm that would correct that path to the acceptable level. I found some sample apps but without source code.
So I got bored and wrote it. It looks like it works, but I haven't tested it very thoroughly. It assumes triangle inequality, all edges exist, that sort of thing. It works largely like the answer I outlined. It prints each iteration; the last one is the 2-optimized one.
I'm sure it can be improved in a zillion ways.

.NearestNeighbors()
.ToList();
//create next pointers between them
stops.Connect(true);
//wrap in a tour object
Tour startingTour = new Tour(stops);
//the actual algorithm
while (true)

Well, your solution to TSP is always going to be far from perfect. No code, but here's how to go about 2-Opt. It's not too bad:
You need a class called Stop that has a Next, Prev, and City property, and probably a Stops property that just returns the array containing Next and Prev.
When you link them together, we'll call that a Tour. Tour has a Stop property (any of the stops will do), and an AllStops property, whose getter just walks the stops and returns them
You need a method that takes a tour and returns its cost. Let's call that Tour.Cost().
You need Tour.Clone(), which just walks the stops and clones them individually
You need a method that generates the set of tours with two edges switched. Call this Tour.PossibleMutations()
Start with your NN solution
Call PossibleMutations() on it
Call Cost() on all of them and take the one with the lowest result
Repeat until the cost doesn't go down
If the problem is euclidian distance and you want the cost of the solution produced by the algorithm is within 3/2 of the optimum then you want the Christofides algorithm. ACO and GA don't have a guaranteed cost.
