听起来您想对排列进行编号:
(def factorial (reductions * 1 (drop 1 (range))))
(defn factoradic [n] {:pre [(>= n 0)]}
(loop [a (list 0) n n p 2]
(if (zero? n) a (recur (conj a (mod n p)) (quot n p) (inc p)))))
(defn nth-permutation [s n] {:pre [(< n (nth factorial (count s)))]}
(let [d (factoradic n)
choices (concat (repeat (- (count s) (count d)) 0) d)]
((reduce
(fn [m i]
(let [[left [item & right]] (split-at i (m :rem))]
(assoc m :rem (concat left right)
:acc (conj (m :acc) item))))
{:rem s :acc []} choices) :acc)))
让我们尝试一下:
(def colours ["red" "blue" "green" "yellow" "cyan" "magenta" "black" "white"])
(nth-permutation colours 39038)
=> ["white" "magenta" "blue" "green" "cyan" "yellow" "red" "black"]
...就像问题一样,但没有产生任何其他排列。
好吧,但我们会得到它们吗?
(def x (map (partial nth-permutation colours) (range (nth factorial (count colours)))))
(count x)
=> 40320
(count (distinct x))
=> 40320
(nth factorial (count colours))
=> 40320
请注意,排列是按(按索引的词典)顺序生成的:
user=> (pprint (take 24 x))
