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。

这是一个简单的JS解决方案:

function getAllCombinations(n, k, f1) { indexes = Array(k); for (let i =0; i< k; i++) { indexes[i] = i; } var total = 1; f1(indexes); while (indexes[0] !== n-k) { total++; getNext(n, indexes); f1(indexes); } return {total}; } function getNext(n, vec) { const k = vec.length; vec[k-1]++; for (var i=0; i<k; i++) { var currentIndex = k-i-1; if (vec[currentIndex] === n - i) { var nextIndex = k-i-2; vec[nextIndex]++; vec[currentIndex] = vec[nextIndex] + 1; } } for (var i=1; i<k; i++) { if (vec[i] === n - (k-i - 1)) { vec[i] = vec[i-1] + 1; } } return vec; } let start = new Date(); let result = getAllCombinations(10, 3, indexes => console.log(indexes)); let runTime = new Date() - start; console.log({ result, runTime });

作为迭代器对象实现的MetaTrader MQL4非常快速的组合。

代码很容易理解。

我对很多算法进行了基准测试,这个算法真的非常快——大约比大多数next_combination()函数快3倍。

class CombinationsIterator { private: int input_array[]; // 1 2 3 4 5 int index_array[]; // i j k int m_elements; // N int m_indices; // K public: CombinationsIterator(int &src_data[], int k) { m_indices = k; m_elements = ArraySize(src_data); ArrayCopy(input_array, src_data); ArrayResize(index_array, m_indices); // create initial combination (0..k-1) for (int i = 0; i < m_indices; i++) { index_array[i] = i; } } // https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5076695 // bool next_combination(int &item[], int k, int N) bool advance() { int N = m_elements; for (int i = m_indices - 1; i >= 0; --i) { if (index_array[i] < --N) { ++index_array[i]; for (int j = i + 1; j < m_indices; ++j) { index_array[j] = index_array[j - 1] + 1; } return true; } } return false; } void getItems(int &items[]) { // fill items[] from input array for (int i = 0; i < m_indices; i++) { items[i] = input_array[index_array[i]]; } } };

测试上述迭代器类的驱动程序:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ // driver program to test above class #define N 5 #define K 3 void OnStart() { int myset[N] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; int items[K]; CombinationsIterator comboIt(myset, K); do { comboIt.getItems(items); printf("%s", ArrayToString(items)); } while (comboIt.advance()); }

输出: 1 2 3 1 2 4 1 2 5 1 3 4 1 3 5 1 4 5 2 3 4 2 3 5 2 4 5 3 4 5

#include <stdio.h>

unsigned int next_combination(unsigned int *ar, size_t n, unsigned int k)
{
    unsigned int finished = 0;
    unsigned int changed = 0;
    unsigned int i;

    if (k > 0) {
        for (i = k - 1; !finished && !changed; i--) {
            if (ar[i] < (n - 1) - (k - 1) + i) {
                /* Increment this element */
                ar[i]++;
                if (i < k - 1) {
                    /* Turn the elements after it into a linear sequence */
                    unsigned int j;
                    for (j = i + 1; j < k; j++) {
                        ar[j] = ar[j - 1] + 1;
                    }
                }
                changed = 1;
            }
            finished = i == 0;
        }
        if (!changed) {
            /* Reset to first combination */
            for (i = 0; i < k; i++) {
                ar[i] = i;
            }
        }
    }
    return changed;
}

typedef void(*printfn)(const void *, FILE *);

void print_set(const unsigned int *ar, size_t len, const void **elements,
    const char *brackets, printfn print, FILE *fptr)
{
    unsigned int i;
    fputc(brackets[0], fptr);
    for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
        print(elements[ar[i]], fptr);
        if (i < len - 1) {
            fputs(", ", fptr);
        }
    }
    fputc(brackets[1], fptr);
}

int main(void)
{
    unsigned int numbers[] = { 0, 1, 2 };
    char *elements[] = { "a", "b", "c", "d", "e" };
    const unsigned int k = sizeof(numbers) / sizeof(unsigned int);
    const unsigned int n = sizeof(elements) / sizeof(const char*);

    do {
        print_set(numbers, k, (void*)elements, "[]", (printfn)fputs, stdout);
        putchar('\n');
    } while (next_combination(numbers, n, k));
    getchar();
    return 0;
}

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

现在又出现了祖辈COBOL,一种饱受诟病的语言。

让我们假设一个包含34个元素的数组,每个元素8个字节(完全是任意选择)。其思想是枚举所有可能的4元素组合,并将它们加载到一个数组中。

我们使用4个指标,每个指标代表4个组中的每个位置

数组是这样处理的:

    idx1 = 1
    idx2 = 2
    idx3 = 3
    idx4 = 4

我们把idx4从4变到最后。对于每个idx4,我们得到一个唯一的组合 四人一组。当idx4到达数组的末尾时,我们将idx3增加1,并将idx4设置为idx3+1。然后再次运行idx4到最后。我们以这种方式继续,分别增加idx3、idx2和idx1,直到idx1的位置距离数组末端小于4。算法就完成了。

1          --- pos.1
2          --- pos 2
3          --- pos 3
4          --- pos 4
5
6
7
etc.

第一次迭代:

1234
1235
1236
1237
1245
1246
1247
1256
1257
1267
etc.

一个COBOL的例子:

01  DATA_ARAY.
    05  FILLER     PIC X(8)    VALUE  "VALUE_01".
    05  FILLER     PIC X(8)    VALUE  "VALUE_02".
  etc.
01  ARAY_DATA    OCCURS 34.
    05  ARAY_ITEM       PIC X(8).

01  OUTPUT_ARAY   OCCURS  50000   PIC X(32).

01   MAX_NUM   PIC 99 COMP VALUE 34.

01  INDEXXES  COMP.
    05  IDX1            PIC 99.
    05  IDX2            PIC 99.
    05  IDX3            PIC 99.
    05  IDX4            PIC 99.
    05  OUT_IDX   PIC 9(9).

01  WHERE_TO_STOP_SEARCH          PIC 99  COMP.

* Stop the search when IDX1 is on the third last array element:

COMPUTE WHERE_TO_STOP_SEARCH = MAX_VALUE - 3     

MOVE 1 TO IDX1

PERFORM UNTIL IDX1 > WHERE_TO_STOP_SEARCH
   COMPUTE IDX2 = IDX1 + 1
   PERFORM UNTIL IDX2 > MAX_NUM
      COMPUTE IDX3 = IDX2 + 1
      PERFORM UNTIL IDX3 > MAX_NUM
         COMPUTE IDX4 = IDX3 + 1
         PERFORM UNTIL IDX4 > MAX_NUM
            ADD 1 TO OUT_IDX
            STRING  ARAY_ITEM(IDX1)
                    ARAY_ITEM(IDX2)
                    ARAY_ITEM(IDX3)
                    ARAY_ITEM(IDX4)
                    INTO OUTPUT_ARAY(OUT_IDX)
            ADD 1 TO IDX4
         END-PERFORM
         ADD 1 TO IDX3
      END-PERFORM
      ADD 1 TO IDX2
   END_PERFORM
   ADD 1 TO IDX1

短快C实现

#include <stdio.h>

void main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  const int n = 6; /* The size of the set; for {1, 2, 3, 4} it's 4 */
  const int p = 4; /* The size of the subsets; for {1, 2}, {1, 3}, ... it's 2 */
  int comb[40] = {0}; /* comb[i] is the index of the i-th element in the combination */

  int i = 0;
  for (int j = 0; j <= n; j++) comb[j] = 0;
  while (i >= 0) {
    if (comb[i] < n + i - p + 1) {
       comb[i]++;
       if (i == p - 1) { for (int j = 0; j < p; j++) printf("%d ", comb[j]); printf("\n"); }
       else            { comb[++i] = comb[i - 1]; }
    } else i--; }
}

要查看它有多快,请使用这段代码并测试它

#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  const int n = 32; /* The size of the set; for {1, 2, 3, 4} it's 4 */
  const int p = 16; /* The size of the subsets; for {1, 2}, {1, 3}, ... it's 2 */
  int comb[40] = {0}; /* comb[i] is the index of the i-th element in the combination */

  int c = 0; int i = 0;
  for (int j = 0; j <= n; j++) comb[j] = 0;
  while (i >= 0) {
    if (comb[i] < n + i - p + 1) {
       comb[i]++;
       /* if (i == p - 1) { for (int j = 0; j < p; j++) printf("%d ", comb[j]); printf("\n"); } */
       if (i == p - 1) c++;
       else            { comb[++i] = comb[i - 1]; }
    } else i--; }
  printf("%d!%d == %d combination(s) in %15.3f second(s)\n ", p, n, c, clock()/1000.0);
}

使用cmd.exe (windows)测试:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

c:\Program Files\lcc\projects>combination
16!32 == 601080390 combination(s) in          5.781 second(s)
