# clojure.math.combinatorics | ||
Efficient, functional algorithms for generating lazy | ||
sequences for common combinatorial functions. | ||
|
||
## Usage | ||
|
||
* (combinations items n) - A lazy sequence of all the unique | ||
ways of taking n different elements from items. | ||
|
||
Example: (combinations [1 2 3] 2) -> ((1 2) (1 3) (2 3)) | ||
|
||
* (subsets items) - A lazy sequence of all the subsets of | ||
items (but generalized to all sequences, not just sets). | ||
|
||
Example: (subsets [1 2 3]) -> (() (1) (2) (3) (1 2) (1 3) (2 3) (1 2 3)) | ||
|
||
* (cartesian-product & seqs) - Takes any number of sequences | ||
as arguments, and returns a lazy sequence of all the ways | ||
to take one item from each seq. | ||
|
||
Example: (cartesian-product [1 2] [3 4]) -> ((1 3) (1 4) (2 3) (2 4)) | ||
|
||
(cartesian-product seq1 seq2 seq3 ...) behaves like but is | ||
faster than a nested for loop, such as: | ||
|
||
(for [i1 seq1 i2 seq2 i3 seq3 ...] (list i1 i2 i3 ...)) | ||
|
||
* (selections items n) - A lazy sequence of all the ways to | ||
take n (possibly the same) items from the sequence of items. | ||
|
||
Example: (selections [1 2] 3) -> ((1 1 1) (1 1 2) (1 2 1) (1 2 2) (2 1 1) (2 1 2) (2 2 1) (2 2 2)) | ||
|
||
* (permutations items) - A lazy sequence of all the permutations | ||
of items. | ||
|
||
Example: (permutations [1 2 3]) -> ((1 2 3) (1 3 2) (2 1 3) (2 3 1) (3 1 2) (3 2 1)) | ||

(combinations items n) - A lazy sequence of all the unique | ||

to take one item from each seq. | ||

take n (possibly the same) items from the sequence of items. | ||
Example: (selections [1 2] 3) -> ((1 1 1) (1 1 2) (1 2 1) (1 2 2) (2 1 1) (2 1 2) (2 2 1) (2 2 2)) | ||
(permutations items) - A lazy sequence of all the permutations | ||
of items. | ||
Example: (permutations [1 2 3]) -> ((1 2 3) (1 3 2) (2 1 3) (2 3 1) (3 1 2) (3 2 1)) | ||
(lex-permutations items) - A lazy sequence of all distinct | ||
permutations in lexicographic order | ||
(this function returns the permutations as | ||
vectors). Only works on sequences of comparable | ||
items. (Note that the result will be quite different from | ||
permutations when the sequence contains duplicate items.) | ||
Example: (lex-permutations [1 1 2]) -> ([1 1 2] [1 2 1] [2 1 1]) | ||
About permutations vs. lex-permutations: | ||
lex-permutations is faster than permutations, but only works | ||
on sequences of numbers. They operate differently | ||
on sequences with duplicate items (lex-permutations will only | ||
give you back distinct permutations). lex-permutations always | ||
returns the permutations sorted lexicographically whereas | ||
permutations will be in an order where the input sequence | ||
comes first. In general, I recommend using the regular | ||
permutations function unless you have a specific | ||
need for lex-permutations. | ||
About this code: | ||
These combinatorial functions can be written in an elegant way using recursion. However, when dealing with combinations and permutations, you're usually generating large numbers of things, and speed counts. My objective was to write the fastest possible code I could, restricting myself to Clojure's functional, persistent data structures (rather than using Java's arrays) so that this code could be safely leveraged within Clojure's transactional concurrency system. | ||
I also restricted myself to algorithms that return results in a standard order. For example, there are faster ways to generate cartesian-product, but I don't know of a faster way to generate the results in the standard nested-for-loop order. | ||
Most of these algorithms are derived from algorithms found in Knuth's wonderful Art of Computer Programming books (specifically, the volume 4 fascicles), which present fast, iterative solutions to these common combinatorial problems. Unfortunately, these iterative versions are somewhat inscrutable. If you want to better understand these algorithms, the Knuth books are the place to start. | ||
