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)

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)

这个答案怎么样……这将打印所有长度为3的组合…它可以推广到任何长度… 工作代码…

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;

void combination(string a,string dest){
int l = dest.length();
if(a.empty() && l  == 3 ){
 cout<<dest<<endl;}
else{
  if(!a.empty() && dest.length() < 3 ){
     combination(a.substr(1,a.length()),dest+a[0]);}
  if(!a.empty() && dest.length() <= 3 ){
      combination(a.substr(1,a.length()),dest);}
 }

 }

 int main(){
 string demo("abcd");
 combination(demo,"");
 return 0;
 }

由于没有提到编程语言，我假设列表也是可以的。下面是一个OCaml版本，适用于短列表(非尾递归)。给定一个包含任意类型元素的列表l和一个整数n，如果我们假设结果列表中元素的顺序被忽略，它将返回一个包含l的n个元素的所有可能列表的列表，即list ['a';'b']与['b';'a']相同，并且将报告一次。因此，结果列表的大小将是((list。长度l)选择n)。

递归的直观原理如下:取列表的头，然后进行两次递归调用:

递归调用1 (RC1):到列表的尾部，但选择n-1个元素 递归调用2 (RC2):到列表的尾部，但选择n个元素

要组合递归结果，list-乘(请使用奇数名称)列表的头部与RC1的结果，然后附加(@)RC2的结果。List-multiply是如下操作lmul:

a lmul [ l1 ; l2 ; l3] = [a::l1 ; a::l2 ; a::l3]

Lmul在下面的代码中实现

List.map (fun x -> h::x)

当列表的大小等于您想要选择的元素数量时，递归将终止，在这种情况下，您只需返回列表本身。

下面是OCaml中实现上述算法的四行代码:

    let rec choose l n = match l, (List.length l) with                                 
    | _, lsize  when n==lsize  -> [l]                                
    | h::t, _ -> (List.map (fun x-> h::x) (choose t (n-1))) @ (choose t n)   
    | [], _ -> []    

我已经编写了一个类来处理处理二项式系数的常见函数，这是您的问题属于的问题类型。它执行以下任务:

Outputs all the K-indexes in a nice format for any N choose K to a file. The K-indexes can be substituted with more descriptive strings or letters. This method makes solving this type of problem quite trivial. Converts the K-indexes to the proper index of an entry in the sorted binomial coefficient table. This technique is much faster than older published techniques that rely on iteration. It does this by using a mathematical property inherent in Pascal's Triangle. My paper talks about this. I believe I am the first to discover and publish this technique, but I could be wrong. Converts the index in a sorted binomial coefficient table to the corresponding K-indexes. Uses Mark Dominus method to calculate the binomial coefficient, which is much less likely to overflow and works with larger numbers. The class is written in .NET C# and provides a way to manage the objects related to the problem (if any) by using a generic list. The constructor of this class takes a bool value called InitTable that when true will create a generic list to hold the objects to be managed. If this value is false, then it will not create the table. The table does not need to be created in order to perform the 4 above methods. Accessor methods are provided to access the table. There is an associated test class which shows how to use the class and its methods. It has been extensively tested with 2 cases and there are no known bugs.

要了解这个类并下载代码，请参见将二项式系数表化。

将这个类转换为c++应该不难。

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]
