Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Given an array of size n, generate and print all possible combinations of r elements in array.
Examples:
Input : arr[] = [1, 2, 3, 4],
r = 2
Output : [[1, 2], [1, 3], [1, 4], [2, 3], [2, 4], [3, 4]]
This problem has existing recursive solution please refer Print all possible combinations of r elements in a given array of size n link. We will solve this problem in python using itertools.combinations() module.
What does itertools.combinations() do ?
It returns r length subsequences of elements from the input iterable. Combinations are emitted in lexicographic sort order. So, if the input iterable is sorted, the combination tuples will be produced in sorted order.
- itertools.combinations(iterable, r) :
It return r-length tuples in sorted order with no repeated elements. For Example, combinations(‘ABCD’, 2) ==> [AB, AC, AD, BC, BD, CD]. - itertools.combinations_with_replacement(iterable, r) :
It return r-length tuples in sorted order with repeated elements. For Example, combinations_with_replacement(‘ABCD’, 2) ==> [AA, AB, AC, AD, BB, BC, BD, CC, CD, DD].
# Function which returns subset or r length from n from itertools import combinations def rSubset(arr, r): # return list of all subsets of length r # to deal with duplicate subsets use # set(list(combinations(arr, r))) return list(combinations(arr, r)) # Driver Function if __name__ == "__main__": arr = [1, 2, 3, 4] r = 2 print rSubset(arr, r) |
Output:
[[1, 2], [1, 3], [1, 4], [2, 3], [2, 4], [3, 4]]
