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。

我们可以用比特的概念来做这个。假设我们有一个字符串“abc”,我们想要所有长度为2的元素的组合(即“ab”,“ac”,“bc”)。

我们可以在1到2^n(排他性)的数字中找到集合位。这里是1到7,只要我们设置了bits = 2,我们就可以从string中输出相应的值。

例如:

1 - 001 二零零一 3011 ->印刷ab (str[0], str[1]) 四到一百。 5 - 101 ->打印ac (str[0], str[2]) 6 - 110 ->印刷ab (str[1], str[2]) 7 - 111。

代码示例:

public class StringCombinationK {   
    static void combk(String s , int k){
        int n = s.length();
        int num = 1<<n;
        int j=0;
        int count=0;

        for(int i=0;i<num;i++){
            if (countSet(i)==k){
                setBits(i,j,s);
                count++;
                System.out.println();
            }
        }

        System.out.println(count);
    }

    static void setBits(int i,int j,String s){ // print the corresponding string value,j represent the index of set bit
        if(i==0){
            return;
        }

        if(i%2==1){
            System.out.print(s.charAt(j));                  
        }

        setBits(i/2,j+1,s);
    }

    static int countSet(int i){ //count number of set bits
        if( i==0){
            return 0;
        }

        return (i%2==0? 0:1) + countSet(i/2);
    }

    public static void main(String[] arhs){
        String s = "abcdefgh";
        int k=3;
        combk(s,k);
    }
}

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

我知道这个问题已经有很多答案了,但我想在JavaScript中添加我自己的贡献,它由两个函数组成——一个生成原始n元素集的所有可能不同的k子集,另一个使用第一个函数生成原始n元素集的幂集。

下面是这两个函数的代码:

//Generate combination subsets from a base set of elements (passed as an array). This function should generate an
//array containing nCr elements, where nCr = n!/[r! (n-r)!].

//Arguments:

//[1] baseSet :     The base set to create the subsets from (e.g., ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"])
//[2] cnt :         The number of elements each subset is to contain (e.g., 3)

function MakeCombinationSubsets(baseSet, cnt)
{
    var bLen = baseSet.length;
    var indices = [];
    var subSet = [];
    var done = false;
    var result = [];        //Contains all the combination subsets generated
    var done = false;
    var i = 0;
    var idx = 0;
    var tmpIdx = 0;
    var incr = 0;
    var test = 0;
    var newIndex = 0;
    var inBounds = false;
    var tmpIndices = [];
    var checkBounds = false;

    //First, generate an array whose elements are indices into the base set ...

    for (i=0; i<cnt; i++)

        indices.push(i);

    //Now create a clone of this array, to be used in the loop itself ...

        tmpIndices = [];

        tmpIndices = tmpIndices.concat(indices);

    //Now initialise the loop ...

    idx = cnt - 1;      //point to the last element of the indices array
    incr = 0;
    done = false;
    while (!done)
    {
    //Create the current subset ...

        subSet = [];    //Make sure we begin with a completely empty subset before continuing ...

        for (i=0; i<cnt; i++)

            subSet.push(baseSet[tmpIndices[i]]);    //Create the current subset, using items selected from the
                                                    //base set, using the indices array (which will change as we
                                                    //continue scanning) ...

    //Add the subset thus created to the result set ...

        result.push(subSet);

    //Now update the indices used to select the elements of the subset. At the start, idx will point to the
    //rightmost index in the indices array, but the moment that index moves out of bounds with respect to the
    //base set, attention will be shifted to the next left index.

        test = tmpIndices[idx] + 1;

        if (test >= bLen)
        {
        //Here, we're about to move out of bounds with respect to the base set. We therefore need to scan back,
        //and update indices to the left of the current one. Find the leftmost index in the indices array that
        //isn't going to  move out of bounds with respect to the base set ...

            tmpIdx = idx - 1;
            incr = 1;

            inBounds = false;       //Assume at start that the index we're checking in the loop below is out of bounds

我用集合["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"]作为基本集进行了测试,并运行代码以产生以下幂集:

[]
["a"]
["b"]
["c"]
["d"]
["e"]
["f"]
["a","b"]
["a","c"]
["a","d"]
["a","e"]
["a","f"]
["b","c"]
["b","d"]
["b","e"]
["b","f"]
["c","d"]
["c","e"]
["c","f"]
["d","e"]
["d","f"]
["e","f"]
["a","b","c"]
["a","b","d"]
["a","b","e"]
["a","b","f"]
["a","c","d"]
["a","c","e"]
["a","c","f"]
["a","d","e"]
["a","d","f"]
["a","e","f"]
["b","c","d"]
["b","c","e"]
["b","c","f"]
["b","d","e"]
["b","d","f"]
["b","e","f"]
["c","d","e"]
["c","d","f"]
["c","e","f"]
["d","e","f"]
["a","b","c","d"]
["a","b","c","e"]
["a","b","c","f"]
["a","b","d","e"]
["a","b","d","f"]
["a","b","e","f"]
["a","c","d","e"]
["a","c","d","f"]
["a","c","e","f"]
["a","d","e","f"]
["b","c","d","e"]
["b","c","d","f"]
["b","c","e","f"]
["b","d","e","f"]
["c","d","e","f"]
["a","b","c","d","e"]
["a","b","c","d","f"]
["a","b","c","e","f"]
["a","b","d","e","f"]
["a","c","d","e","f"]
["b","c","d","e","f"]
["a","b","c","d","e","f"]

只要复制粘贴这两个函数“原样”,你就有了提取n元素集的不同k子集所需的基本知识,并生成该n元素集的幂集(如果你愿意的话)。

我并不是说这很优雅,只是说它在经过大量的测试(并在调试阶段将空气变为蓝色:)之后可以工作。

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 });

简单但缓慢的c++回溯算法。

#include <iostream>

void backtrack(int* numbers, int n, int k, int i, int s)
{
    if (i == k)
    {
        for (int j = 0; j < k; ++j)
        {
            std::cout << numbers[j];
        }
        std::cout << std::endl;

        return;
    }

    if (s > n)
    {
        return;
    }

    numbers[i] = s;
    backtrack(numbers, n, k, i + 1, s + 1);
    backtrack(numbers, n, k, i, s + 1);
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    int n = 5;
    int k = 3;

    int* numbers = new int[k];

    backtrack(numbers, n, k, 0, 1);

    delete[] numbers;

    return 0;
}

还有另一个递归解决方案(你应该能够使用字母而不是数字)使用堆栈,虽然比大多数更短:

stack = [] 
def choose(n,x):
   r(0,0,n+1,x)

def r(p, c, n,x):
   if x-c == 0:
      print stack
      return

   for i in range(p, n-(x-1)+c):
      stack.append(i)
      r(i+1,c+1,n,x)
      stack.pop()

4选3或者我想要从0到4的所有3种数字组合

choose(4,3) 

[0, 1, 2]
[0, 1, 3]
[0, 1, 4]
[0, 2, 3]
[0, 2, 4]
[0, 3, 4]
[1, 2, 3]
[1, 2, 4]
[1, 3, 4]
[2, 3, 4]
