( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I don't know about the module, but its a fairly simple (recursive) subroutine:
use Data::Dumper; my @a = (1..4); my $len = 4; print Dumper(combinations($len, @a)); sub combinations { my ($size, @elements) = @_; return [] if $size < 1; my @result = (); foreach my $elem (@elements) { push @result, map { [$elem, @$_] } combinations($size-1, grep { $_ != $elem } @elements) } return @result; }
--Dave

Update: for greater generality, replace foreach loop with

my @seen = (); while (@elements) { my $elem = shift @elements; push @result, map { [$elem, @$_] } combinations($size-1, @seen, @elements); push @seen, $elem; }

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
