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。

下面是一个方法,它从一个随机长度的字符串中给出指定大小的所有组合。类似于昆玛斯的解,但适用于不同的输入和k。

代码可以更改为换行,即'dab'从输入'abcd' w k=3。

public void run(String data, int howMany){
    choose(data, howMany, new StringBuffer(), 0);
}


//n choose k
private void choose(String data, int k, StringBuffer result, int startIndex){
    if (result.length()==k){
        System.out.println(result.toString());
        return;
    }

    for (int i=startIndex; i<data.length(); i++){
        result.append(data.charAt(i));
        choose(data,k,result, i+1);
        result.setLength(result.length()-1);
    }
}

"abcde"的输出:

ABC abd ace ade BCD bce bde cde

So,

(LOOP FOR A FROM 0 TO (- (LENGTH '(A B C D)) 1)
    COLLECT (LIST (NTH A '(A B C D))))

(LOOP FOR A FROM 0 TO (- (LENGTH '(A B C D)) 2)
      APPEND (LOOP FOR B FROM (1+ A) TO (- (LENGTH '(A B C D)) 1)
                   COLLECT (LIST (NTH A '(A B C D)) (NTH B '(A B C D)))))
T
CL-USER> (macroexpand-1 '(txaat '(a b c d) 3))

      APPEND (LOOP FOR B FROM (1+ A) TO (- (LENGTH '(A B C D)) 2)
                   APPEND (LOOP FOR C FROM (1+ B) TO (- (LENGTH '(A B C D)) 1)
                                COLLECT (LIST (NTH A '(A B C D))
                                              (NTH B '(A B C D))
                                              (NTH C '(A B C D))))))
T

CL-USER> 

And,

c#简单算法。 (我发布它是因为我试图使用你们上传的那个,但由于某种原因我无法编译它——扩展一个类?所以我自己写了一个,以防别人遇到和我一样的问题)。 顺便说一下,除了基本的编程,我对c#没什么兴趣,但是这个工作得很好。

public static List<List<int>> GetSubsetsOfSizeK(List<int> lInputSet, int k)
        {
            List<List<int>> lSubsets = new List<List<int>>();
            GetSubsetsOfSizeK_rec(lInputSet, k, 0, new List<int>(), lSubsets);
            return lSubsets;
        }

public static void GetSubsetsOfSizeK_rec(List<int> lInputSet, int k, int i, List<int> lCurrSet, List<List<int>> lSubsets)
        {
            if (lCurrSet.Count == k)
            {
                lSubsets.Add(lCurrSet);
                return;
            }

            if (i >= lInputSet.Count)
                return;

            List<int> lWith = new List<int>(lCurrSet);
            List<int> lWithout = new List<int>(lCurrSet);
            lWith.Add(lInputSet[i++]);

            GetSubsetsOfSizeK_rec(lInputSet, k, i, lWith, lSubsets);
            GetSubsetsOfSizeK_rec(lInputSet, k, i, lWithout, lSubsets);
        }

GetSubsetsOfSizeK(set of type List<int>, integer k)

您可以修改它以遍历您正在处理的任何内容。

好运!

我可以给出这个问题的递归Python解决方案吗?

def choose_iter(elements, length):
    for i in xrange(len(elements)):
        if length == 1:
            yield (elements[i],)
        else:
            for next in choose_iter(elements[i+1:], length-1):
                yield (elements[i],) + next
def choose(l, k):
    return list(choose_iter(l, k))

使用示例:

>>> len(list(choose_iter("abcdefgh",3)))
56

我喜欢它的简洁。

Here's some simple code that prints all the C(n,m) combinations. It works by initializing and moving a set of array indices that point to next valid combination. The indices are initialized to point to the lowest m indices (lexicographically the smallest combination). Then on, starting with the m-th index, we try to move the indices forward. if an index has reached its limit, we try the previous index (all the way down to index 1). If we can move an index forward, then we reset all greater indices.

m=(rand()%n)+1; // m will vary from 1 to n

for (i=0;i<n;i++) a[i]=i+1;

// we want to print all possible C(n,m) combinations of selecting m objects out of n
printf("Printing C(%d,%d) possible combinations ...\n", n,m);

// This is an adhoc algo that keeps m pointers to the next valid combination
for (i=0;i<m;i++) p[i]=i; // the p[.] contain indices to the a vector whose elements constitute next combination

done=false;
while (!done)
{
    // print combination
    for (i=0;i<m;i++) printf("%2d ", a[p[i]]);
    printf("\n");

    // update combination
    // method: start with p[m-1]. try to increment it. if it is already at the end, then try moving p[m-2] ahead.
    // if this is possible, then reset p[m-1] to 1 more than (the new) p[m-2].
    // if p[m-2] can not also be moved, then try p[m-3]. move that ahead. then reset p[m-2] and p[m-1].
    // repeat all the way down to p[0]. if p[0] can not also be moved, then we have generated all combinations.

    i=1;

        {
            move_found=true;
            p[j]++; // point p[j] to next index
            for (k=j+1;k<m;k++)
            {
                p[k]=p[j]+(k-j);
            }
        }
