我想写一个函数,它以一个字母数组作为参数,并从中选择一些字母。

假设您提供了一个包含8个字母的数组,并希望从中选择3个字母。那么你应该得到:

8! / ((8 - 3)! * 3!) = 56

数组(或单词),每个数组由3个字母组成。

我正在为PHP寻找类似的解决方案,遇到了以下情况

class Combinations implements Iterator
{
    protected $c = null;
    protected $s = null;
    protected $n = 0;
    protected $k = 0;
    protected $pos = 0;

    function __construct($s, $k) {
        if(is_array($s)) {
            $this->s = array_values($s);
            $this->n = count($this->s);
        } else {
            $this->s = (string) $s;
            $this->n = strlen($this->s);
        }
        $this->k = $k;
        $this->rewind();
    }
    function key() {
        return $this->pos;
    }
    function current() {
        $r = array();
        for($i = 0; $i < $this->k; $i++)
            $r[] = $this->s[$this->c[$i]];
        return is_array($this->s) ? $r : implode('', $r);
    }
    function next() {
        if($this->_next())
            $this->pos++;
        else
            $this->pos = -1;
    }
    function rewind() {
        $this->c = range(0, $this->k);
        $this->pos = 0;
    }
    function valid() {
        return $this->pos >= 0;
    }

    protected function _next() {
        $i = $this->k - 1;
        while ($i >= 0 && $this->c[$i] == $this->n - $this->k + $i)
            $i--;
        if($i < 0)
            return false;
        $this->c[$i]++;
        while($i++ < $this->k - 1)
            $this->c[$i] = $this->c[$i - 1] + 1;
        return true;
    }
}


foreach(new Combinations("1234567", 5) as $substring)
    echo $substring, ' ';

我不确定这个类有多高效,但我只是把它用作种子程序。

其他回答

这是一个为nCk生成组合的递归程序。假设集合中的元素从1到n

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int nCk(int n,int loopno,int ini,int *a,int k)
{
    static int count=0;
    int i;
    loopno--;
    if(loopno<0)
    {
        a[k-1]=ini;
        for(i=0;i<k;i++)
        {
            printf("%d,",a[i]);
        }
        printf("\n");
        count++;
        return 0;
    }
    for(i=ini;i<=n-loopno-1;i++)
    {
        a[k-1-loopno]=i+1;
        nCk(n,loopno,i+1,a,k);
    }
    if(ini==0)
    return count;
    else
    return 0;
}

void main()
{
    int n,k,*a,count;
    printf("Enter the value of n and k\n");
    scanf("%d %d",&n,&k);
    a=(int*)malloc(k*sizeof(int));
    count=nCk(n,k,0,a,k);
    printf("No of combinations=%d\n",count);
}

简短的python代码,产生索引位置

def yield_combos(n,k):
    # n is set size, k is combo size

    i = 0
    a = [0]*k

    while i > -1:
        for j in range(i+1, k):
            a[j] = a[j-1]+1
        i=j
        yield a
        while a[i] == i + n - k:
            i -= 1
        a[i] += 1

你可以使用Asif算法来生成所有可能的组合。这可能是最简单和最有效的方法。你可以在这里查看媒体文章。

让我们看看JavaScript中的实现。

function Combinations( arr, r ) {
    // To avoid object referencing, cloning the array.
    arr = arr && arr.slice() || [];

    var len = arr.length;

    if( !len || r > len || !r )
        return [ [] ];
    else if( r === len ) 
        return [ arr ];

    if( r === len ) return arr.reduce( ( x, v ) => {
        x.push( [ v ] );

        return x;
    }, [] );

    var head = arr.shift();

    return Combinations( arr, r - 1 ).map( x => {
        x.unshift( head );

        return x;
    } ).concat( Combinations( arr, r ) );
}

// Now do your stuff.

console.log( Combinations( [ 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e' ], 3 ) );

遵循Haskell代码同时计算组合数和组合,由于Haskell的惰性,您可以得到其中的一部分而无需计算另一部分。

import Data.Semigroup
import Data.Monoid

data Comb = MkComb {count :: Int, combinations :: [[Int]]} deriving (Show, Eq, Ord)

instance Semigroup Comb where
    (MkComb c1 cs1) <> (MkComb c2 cs2) = MkComb (c1 + c2) (cs1 ++ cs2)

instance Monoid Comb where
    mempty = MkComb 0 []

addElem :: Comb -> Int -> Comb
addElem (MkComb c cs) x = MkComb c (map (x :) cs)

comb :: Int -> Int -> Comb
comb n k | n < 0 || k < 0 = error "error in `comb n k`, n and k should be natural number"
comb n k | k == 0 || k == n = MkComb 1 [(take k [k-1,k-2..0])]
comb n k | n < k = mempty
comb n k = comb (n-1) k <> (comb (n-1) (k-1) `addElem` (n-1))

它是这样工作的:

*Main> comb 0 1
MkComb {count = 0, combinations = []}

*Main> comb 0 0
MkComb {count = 1, combinations = [[]]}

*Main> comb 1 1
MkComb {count = 1, combinations = [[0]]}

*Main> comb 4 2
MkComb {count = 6, combinations = [[1,0],[2,0],[2,1],[3,0],[3,1],[3,2]]}

*Main> count (comb 10 5)
252

赶时髦,发布另一个解决方案。这是一个通用的Java实现。输入:(int k)是要选择的元素数量,(List<T> List)是要选择的列表。返回一个组合列表(list < list <T>>)。

public static <T> List<List<T>> getCombinations(int k, List<T> list) {
    List<List<T>> combinations = new ArrayList<List<T>>();
    if (k == 0) {
        combinations.add(new ArrayList<T>());
        return combinations;
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++) {
        T element = list.get(i);
        List<T> rest = getSublist(list, i+1);
        for (List<T> previous : getCombinations(k-1, rest)) {
            previous.add(element);
            combinations.add(previous);
        }
    }
    return combinations;
}

public static <T> List<T> getSublist(List<T> list, int i) {
    List<T> sublist = new ArrayList<T>();
    for (int j = i; j < list.size(); j++) {
        sublist.add(list.get(j));
    }
    return sublist;
}
