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;
}

这是我用c++写的命题
我尽可能少地限制迭代器类型,所以这个解决方案假设只有前向迭代器,它可以是const_iterator。这应该适用于任何标准容器。在参数没有意义的情况下,它抛出std:: invalid_argument
#include <vector>
#include <stdexcept>
template <typename Fci> // Fci - forward const iterator
std::vector<std::vector<Fci> >
enumerate_combinations(Fci begin, Fci end, unsigned int combination_size)
{
if(begin == end && combination_size > 0u)
throw std::invalid_argument("empty set and positive combination size!");
std::vector<std::vector<Fci> > result; // empty set of combinations
if(combination_size == 0u) return result; // there is exactly one combination of
// size 0 - emty set
std::vector<Fci> current_combination;
current_combination.reserve(combination_size + 1u); // I reserve one aditional slot
// in my vector to store
// the end sentinel there.
// The code is cleaner thanks to that
for(unsigned int i = 0u; i < combination_size && begin != end; ++i, ++begin)
{
current_combination.push_back(begin); // Construction of the first combination
}
// Since I assume the itarators support only incrementing, I have to iterate over
// the set to get its size, which is expensive. Here I had to itrate anyway to
// produce the first cobination, so I use the loop to also check the size.
if(current_combination.size() < combination_size)
throw std::invalid_argument("combination size > set size!");
result.push_back(current_combination); // Store the first combination in the results set
current_combination.push_back(end); // Here I add mentioned earlier sentinel to
// simplyfy rest of the code. If I did it
// earlier, previous statement would get ugly.
while(true)
{
unsigned int i = combination_size;
Fci tmp; // Thanks to the sentinel I can find first
do // iterator to change, simply by scaning
{ // from right to left and looking for the
tmp = current_combination[--i]; // first "bubble". The fact, that it's
++tmp; // a forward iterator makes it ugly but I
} // can't help it.
while(i > 0u && tmp == current_combination[i + 1u]);
// Here is probably my most obfuscated expression.
// Loop above looks for a "bubble". If there is no "bubble", that means, that
// current_combination is the last combination, Expression in the if statement
// below evaluates to true and the function exits returning result.
// If the "bubble" is found however, the ststement below has a sideeffect of
// incrementing the first iterator to the left of the "bubble".
if(++current_combination[i] == current_combination[i + 1u])
return result;
// Rest of the code sets posiotons of the rest of the iterstors
// (if there are any), that are to the right of the incremented one,
// to form next combination
while(++i < combination_size)
{
current_combination[i] = current_combination[i - 1u];
++current_combination[i];
}
// Below is the ugly side of using the sentinel. Well it had to haave some
// disadvantage. Try without it.
result.push_back(std::vector<Fci>(current_combination.begin(),
current_combination.end() - 1));
}

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
checkBounds = true;
while (checkBounds)
{
if (tmpIdx < 0)
{
checkBounds = false; //Exit immediately at this point
}
else
{
newIndex = tmpIndices[tmpIdx] + 1;
test = newIndex + incr;
if (test >= bLen)
{
//Here, incrementing the current selected index will take that index out of bounds, so
//we move on to the next index to the left ...
tmpIdx--;
incr++;
}
else
{
//Here, the index will remain in bounds if we increment it, so we
//exit the loop and signal that we're in bounds ...
inBounds = true;
checkBounds = false;
//End if/else
}
//End if
}
//End while
}
//At this point, if we'er still in bounds, then we continue generating subsets, but if not, we abort immediately.
if (!inBounds)
done = true;
else
{
//Here, we're still in bounds. We need to update the indices accordingly. NOTE: at this point, although a
//left positioned index in the indices array may still be in bounds, incrementing it to generate indices to
//the right may take those indices out of bounds. We therefore need to check this as we perform the index
//updating of the indices array.
tmpIndices[tmpIdx] = newIndex;
inBounds = true;
checking = true;
i = tmpIdx + 1;
while (checking)
{
test = tmpIndices[i - 1] + 1; //Find out if incrementing the left adjacent index takes it out of bounds
if (test >= bLen)
{
inBounds = false; //If we move out of bounds, exit NOW ...
checking = false;
}
else
{
tmpIndices[i] = test; //Otherwise, update the indices array ...
i++; //Now move on to the next index to the right in the indices array ...
checking = (i < cnt); //And continue until we've exhausted all the indices array elements ...
//End if/else
}
//End while
}
//At this point, if the above updating of the indices array has moved any of its elements out of bounds,
//we abort subset construction from this point ...
if (!inBounds)
done = true;
//End if/else
}
}
else
{
//Here, the rightmost index under consideration isn't moving out of bounds with respect to the base set when
//we increment it, so we simply increment and continue the loop ...
tmpIndices[idx] = test;
//End if
}
//End while
}
return(result);
//End function
}
function MakePowerSet(baseSet)
{
var bLen = baseSet.length;
var result = [];
var i = 0;
var partialSet = [];
result.push([]); //add the empty set to the power set
for (i=1; i<bLen; i++)
{
partialSet = MakeCombinationSubsets(baseSet, i);
result = result.concat(partialSet);
//End i loop
}
//Now, finally, add the base set itself to the power set to make it complete ...
partialSet = [];
partialSet.push(baseSet);
result = result.concat(partialSet);
return(result);
//End function
}
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。
也许我错过了重点(你需要的是算法,而不是现成的解决方案),但看起来scala已经开箱即用了(现在):
def combis(str:String, k:Int):Array[String] = {
str.combinations(k).toArray
}
使用这样的方法:
println(combis("abcd",2).toList)
会产生:
List(ab, ac, ad, bc, bd, cd)
另一种python递归解决方案。
def combination_indicies(n, k, j = 0, stack = []):
if len(stack) == k:
yield list(stack)
return
for i in range(j, n):
stack.append(i)
for x in combination_indicies(n, k, i + 1, stack):
yield x
stack.pop()
list(combination_indicies(5, 3))
输出:
[[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]]
我发现这个线程很有用,我想我会添加一个Javascript解决方案,你可以弹出到Firebug。取决于你的JS引擎,如果起始字符串很大,可能会花一点时间。
function string_recurse(active, rest) {
if (rest.length == 0) {
console.log(active);
} else {
string_recurse(active + rest.charAt(0), rest.substring(1, rest.length));
string_recurse(active, rest.substring(1, rest.length));
}
}
string_recurse("", "abc");
输出如下:
abc
ab
ac
a
bc
b
c
