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。

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]]

JavaScript，基于生成器，递归方法:
function *nCk(n,k){ for(var i=n-1;i>=k-1;--i) if(k===1) yield [i]; else for(var temp of nCk(i,k-1)){ temp.unshift(i); yield temp; } } function test(){ try{ var n=parseInt(ninp.value); var k=parseInt(kinp.value); log.innerText=""; var stop=Date.now()+1000; if(k>=1) for(var res of nCk(n,k)) if(Date.now()<stop) log.innerText+=JSON.stringify(res)+" "; else{ log.innerText+="1 second passed, stopping here."; break; } }catch(ex){} } n:<input id="ninp" oninput="test()"> >= k:<input id="kinp" oninput="test()"> >= 1 <div id="log"></div>
通过这种方式(减少i和unshift())，它以递减的顺序生成组合和组合内的元素，有点赏心悦目。 测试在1秒后停止，因此输入奇怪的数字是相对安全的。
像Andrea Ambu一样用Python写的，但不是硬编码来选择三个。
def combinations(list, k):
"""Choose combinations of list, choosing k elements(no repeats)"""
if len(list) < k:
return []
else:
seq = [i for i in range(k)]
while seq:
print [list[index] for index in seq]
seq = get_next_combination(len(list), k, seq)
def get_next_combination(num_elements, k, seq):
index_to_move = find_index_to_move(num_elements, seq)
if index_to_move == None:
return None
else:
seq[index_to_move] += 1
#for every element past this sequence, move it down
for i, elem in enumerate(seq[(index_to_move+1):]):
seq[i + 1 + index_to_move] = seq[index_to_move] + i + 1
return seq
def find_index_to_move(num_elements, seq):
"""Tells which index should be moved"""
for rev_index, elem in enumerate(reversed(seq)):
if elem < (num_elements - rev_index - 1):
return len(seq) - rev_index - 1
return None
下面是一个coffeescript实现
combinations: (list, n) ->
permuations = Math.pow(2, list.length) - 1
out = []
combinations = []
while permuations
out = []
for i in [0..list.length]
y = ( 1 << i )
if( y & permuations and (y isnt permuations))
out.push(list[i])
if out.length <= n and out.length > 0
combinations.push(out)
permuations--
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"]
在VB。Net，该算法从一组数字(PoolArray)中收集n个数字的所有组合。例如，从“8,10,20,33,41,44,47”中选择5个选项的所有组合。
Sub CreateAllCombinationsOfPicksFromPool(ByVal PicksArray() As UInteger, ByVal PicksIndex As UInteger, ByVal PoolArray() As UInteger, ByVal PoolIndex As UInteger)
If PicksIndex < PicksArray.Length Then
For i As Integer = PoolIndex To PoolArray.Length - PicksArray.Length + PicksIndex
PicksArray(PicksIndex) = PoolArray(i)
CreateAllCombinationsOfPicksFromPool(PicksArray, PicksIndex + 1, PoolArray, i + 1)
Next
Else
' completed combination. build your collections using PicksArray.
End If
End Sub
Dim PoolArray() As UInteger = Array.ConvertAll("8,10,20,33,41,44,47".Split(","), Function(u) UInteger.Parse(u))
Dim nPicks as UInteger = 5
Dim Picks(nPicks - 1) As UInteger
CreateAllCombinationsOfPicksFromPool(Picks, 0, PoolArray, 0)
