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。

简短快速的c#实现
public static IEnumerable<IEnumerable<T>> Combinations<T>(IEnumerable<T> elements, int k)
{
return Combinations(elements.Count(), k).Select(p => p.Select(q => elements.ElementAt(q)));
}
public static List<int[]> Combinations(int setLenght, int subSetLenght) //5, 3
{
var result = new List<int[]>();
var lastIndex = subSetLenght - 1;
var dif = setLenght - subSetLenght;
var prevSubSet = new int[subSetLenght];
var lastSubSet = new int[subSetLenght];
for (int i = 0; i < subSetLenght; i++)
{
prevSubSet[i] = i;
lastSubSet[i] = i + dif;
}
while(true)
{
//add subSet ad result set
var n = new int[subSetLenght];
for (int i = 0; i < subSetLenght; i++)
n[i] = prevSubSet[i];
result.Add(n);
if (prevSubSet[0] >= lastSubSet[0])
break;
//start at index 1 because index 0 is checked and breaking in the current loop
int j = 1;
for (; j < subSetLenght; j++)
{
if (prevSubSet[j] >= lastSubSet[j])
{
prevSubSet[j - 1]++;
for (int p = j; p < subSetLenght; p++)
prevSubSet[p] = prevSubSet[p - 1] + 1;
break;
}
}
if (j > lastIndex)
prevSubSet[lastIndex]++;
}
return result;
}

一个简洁的Javascript解决方案:
Array.prototype.combine=function combine(k){
var toCombine=this;
var last;
function combi(n,comb){
var combs=[];
for ( var x=0,y=comb.length;x<y;x++){
for ( var l=0,m=toCombine.length;l<m;l++){
combs.push(comb[x]+toCombine[l]);
}
}
if (n<k-1){
n++;
combi(n,combs);
} else{last=combs;}
}
combi(1,toCombine);
return last;
}
// Example:
// var toCombine=['a','b','c'];
// var results=toCombine.combine(4);
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。

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)

ADD 1 TO IDX3

ADD 1 TO IDX2

下面是我最近用Java写的一段代码，它计算并返回从“outOf”元素中“num”元素的所有组合。
// author: Sourabh Bhat (heySourabh@gmail.com)
public class Testing
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Test case num = 5, outOf = 8.
int num = 5;
int outOf = 8;
int[][] combinations = getCombinations(num, outOf);
for (int i = 0; i < combinations.length; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < combinations[i].length; j++)
{
System.out.print(combinations[i][j] + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
private static int[][] getCombinations(int num, int outOf)
{
int possibilities = get_nCr(outOf, num);
int[][] combinations = new int[possibilities][num];
int arrayPointer = 0;
int[] counter = new int[num];
for (int i = 0; i < num; i++)
{
counter[i] = i;
}
breakLoop: while (true)
{
// Initializing part
for (int i = 1; i < num; i++)
{
if (counter[i] >= outOf - (num - 1 - i))
counter[i] = counter[i - 1] + 1;
}
// Testing part
for (int i = 0; i < num; i++)
{
if (counter[i] < outOf)
{
continue;
} else
{
break breakLoop;
}
}
// Innermost part
combinations[arrayPointer] = counter.clone();
arrayPointer++;
// Incrementing part
counter[num - 1]++;
for (int i = num - 1; i >= 1; i--)
{
if (counter[i] >= outOf - (num - 1 - i))
counter[i - 1]++;
}
}
return combinations;
}
private static int get_nCr(int n, int r)
{
if(r > n)
{
throw new ArithmeticException("r is greater then n");
}
long numerator = 1;
long denominator = 1;
for (int i = n; i >= r + 1; i--)
{
numerator *= i;
}
for (int i = 2; i <= n - r; i++)
{
denominator *= i;
}
return (int) (numerator / denominator);
}
}
Array.prototype.combs = function(num) {
var str = this,
length = str.length,
of = Math.pow(2, length) - 1,
out, combinations = [];
while(of) {
out = [];
for(var i = 0, y; i < length; i++) {
y = (1 << i);
if(y & of && (y !== of))
out.push(str[i]);
}
if (out.length >= num) {
combinations.push(out);

return combinations;
}
Haskell中的简单递归算法
import Data.List
combinations 0 lst = [[]]
combinations n lst = do
(x:xs) <- tails lst
rest <- combinations (n-1) xs
return $ x : rest
我们首先定义特殊情况，即选择零元素。它产生一个单一的结果，这是一个空列表(即一个包含空列表的列表)。
对于n> 0, x遍历列表中的每一个元素xs是x之后的每一个元素。
Rest通过对组合的递归调用从xs中选取n - 1个元素。该函数的最终结果是一个列表，其中每个元素都是x: rest(即对于x和rest的每个不同值，x为头部，rest为尾部的列表)。
> combinations 3 "abcde"
["abc","abd","abe","acd","ace","ade","bcd","bce","bde","cde"]
当然，由于Haskell是懒惰的，列表是根据需要逐渐生成的，因此您可以部分计算指数级的大组合。
> let c = combinations 8 "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
> take 10 c
["abcdefgh","abcdefgi","abcdefgj","abcdefgk","abcdefgl","abcdefgm","abcdefgn",
"abcdefgo","abcdefgp","abcdefgq"]
