给定未知数量的列表,每个列表的长度未知,我需要生成一个包含所有可能唯一组合的奇异列表。例如,给定以下列表:

X: [A, B, C] 
Y: [W, X, Y, Z]

然后我应该能够生成 12 种组合:

[AW, AX, AY, AZ, BW, BX, BY, BZ, CW, CX, CY, CZ]

如果添加了 3 个元素的第三个列表,我将有 36 个组合,依此类推。

关于如何在 Java 中做到这一点的任何想法?
(伪代码也可以)

你需要递归:

假设您的所有列表都在 中lists,这是一个列表列表。让result成为您所需排列的列表。你可以像这样实现它:

void generatePermutations(List<List<Character>> lists, List<String> result, int depth, String current) {
    if (depth == lists.size()) {
        result.add(current);
        return;
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < lists.get(depth).size(); i++) {
        generatePermutations(lists, result, depth + 1, current + lists.get(depth).get(i));
    }
}

最终的调用将是这样的:

generatePermutations(lists, result, 0, "");

这个话题就派上用场了。我已经完全用 Java 重写了以前的解决方案,并且更加用户友好。此外,我使用集合和泛型以获得更大的灵活性:

/**
 * Combines several collections of elements and create permutations of all of them, taking one element from each
 * collection, and keeping the same order in resultant lists as the one in original list of collections.
 * 
 * <ul>Example
 * <li>Input  = { {a,b,c} , {1,2,3,4} }</li>
 * <li>Output = { {a,1} , {a,2} , {a,3} , {a,4} , {b,1} , {b,2} , {b,3} , {b,4} , {c,1} , {c,2} , {c,3} , {c,4} }</li>
 * </ul>
 * 
 * @param collections Original list of collections which elements have to be combined.
 * @return Resultant collection of lists with all permutations of original list.
 */
public static <T> Collection<List<T>> permutations(List<Collection<T>> collections) {
  if (collections == null || collections.isEmpty()) {
    return Collections.emptyList();
  } else {
    Collection<List<T>> res = Lists.newLinkedList();
    permutationsImpl(collections, res, 0, new LinkedList<T>());
    return res;
  }
}

/** Recursive implementation for {@link #permutations(List, Collection)} */
private static <T> void permutationsImpl(List<Collection<T>> ori, Collection<List<T>> res, int d, List<T> current) {
  // if depth equals number of original collections, final reached, add and return
  if (d == ori.size()) {
    res.add(current);
    return;
  }

  // iterate from current collection and copy 'current' element N times, one for each element
  Collection<T> currentCollection = ori.get(d);
  for (T element : currentCollection) {
    List<T> copy = Lists.newLinkedList(current);
    copy.add(element);
    permutationsImpl(ori, res, d + 1, copy);
  }
}

添加基于迭代器的答案以适用于列表的通用列表List<List<T>>,扩展了 Ruslan Ostafiichuk 的答案的想法。我遵循的想法是:

* List 1: [1 2]
* List 2: [4 5]
* List 3: [6 7]
*
* Take each element from list 1 and put each element
* in a separate list.
* combinations -> [ [1] [2] ]
*
* Set up something called newCombinations that will contains a list
* of list of integers
* Consider [1], then [2]
*
* Now, take the next list [4 5] and iterate over integers
* [1]
*  add 4   -> [1 4]
*      add to newCombinations -> [ [1 4] ]
*  add 5   -> [1 5]
*      add to newCombinations -> [ [1 4] [1 5] ]
*
* [2]
*  add 4   -> [2 4]
*      add to newCombinations -> [ [1 4] [1 5] [2 4] ]
*  add 5   -> [2 5]
*      add to newCombinations -> [ [1 4] [1 5] [2 4] [2 5] ]
*
* point combinations to newCombinations
* combinations now looks like -> [ [1 4] [1 5] [2 4] [2 5] ]
* Now, take the next list [6 7] and iterate over integers
*  ....
*  6 will go into each of the lists
*      [ [1 4 6] [1 5 6] [2 4 6] [2 5 6] ]
*  7 will go into each of the lists
*      [ [1 4 6] [1 5 6] [2 4 6] [2 5 6] [1 4 7] [1 5 7] [2 4 7] [2 5 7]]

现在是代码。我用了一个Set简单的来摆脱任何重复。可以替换为List. 一切都应该无缝地工作。:)

public static <T> Set<List<T>> getCombinations(List<List<T>> lists) {
    Set<List<T>> combinations = new HashSet<List<T>>();
    Set<List<T>> newCombinations;

    int index = 0;

    // extract each of the integers in the first list
    // and add each to ints as a new list
    for (T i : lists.get(0)) {
        List<T> newList = new ArrayList<T>();
        newList.add(i);
        combinations.add(newList);
    }
    index++;
    while (index < lists.size()) {
        List<T> nextList = lists.get(index);
        newCombinations = new HashSet<List<T>>();
        for (List<T> first : combinations) {
            for (T second : nextList) {
                List<T> newList = new ArrayList<T>();
                newList.addAll(first);
                newList.add(second);
                newCombinations.add(newList);
            }
        }
        combinations = newCombinations;
        index++;
    }
    return combinations;
}

一个小测试块..

public static void main(String[] args) {
    List<Integer> l1 = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3);
    List<Integer> l2 = Arrays.asList(4, 5);
    List<Integer> l3 = Arrays.asList(6, 7);

    List<List<Integer>> lists = new ArrayList<List<Integer>>();
    lists.add(l1);
    lists.add(l2);
    lists.add(l3);

    Set<List<Integer>> combs = getCombinations(lists);
    for (List<Integer> list : combs) {
        System.out.println(list.toString());
    }

没有递归唯一组合:

String sArray[] = new String[]{"A", "A", "B", "C"};
//convert array to list
List<String> list1 = Arrays.asList(sArray);
List<String> list2 = Arrays.asList(sArray);
List<String> list3 = Arrays.asList(sArray);

LinkedList<List<String>> lists = new LinkedList<List<String>>();

lists.add(list1);
lists.add(list2);
lists.add(list3);

Set<String> combinations = new TreeSet<String>();
Set<String> newCombinations;

for (String s : lists.removeFirst())
    combinations.add(s);

while (!lists.isEmpty()) {
    List<String> next = lists.removeFirst();
    newCombinations = new TreeSet<String>();
    for (String s1 : combinations)
        for (String s2 : next)
            newCombinations.add(s1 + s2);

    combinations = newCombinations;
}
for (String s : combinations)
    System.out.print(s + " ");

使用此处其他一些答案提供的嵌套循环解决方案来组合两个列表。

当您有两个以上的列表时,

  1. 将前两个组合成一个新列表。
  2. 将结果列表与下一个输入列表合并。
  3. 重复。

  • 没有递归
  • 已订购
  • 可以通过其索引获得特定组合(无需构建所有其他排列)
  • 支持并行迭代

到底类和main()方法:

public class TwoDimensionalCounter<T> {
    private final List<List<T>> elements;
    private final int size;

    public TwoDimensionalCounter(List<List<T>> elements) {
        //Need to reverse the collection if you need the original order in the answers
        this.elements = Collections.unmodifiableList(elements);
        int size = 1;
        for(List<T> next: elements)
            size *= next.size();
        this.size = size;
    }

    public List<T> get(int index) {
        List<T> result = new ArrayList<>();
        for(int i = elements.size() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
            List<T> counter = elements.get(i);
            int counterSize = counter.size();
            result.add(counter.get(index % counterSize));
            index /= counterSize;
        }
        return result;
    }

    public int size() {
        return size;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        TwoDimensionalCounter<Integer> counter = new TwoDimensionalCounter<>(
                Arrays.asList(
                        Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3),
                        Arrays.asList(1, 2),
                        Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3)
                ));
        for(int i = 0; i < counter.size(); i++)
            System.out.println(counter.get(i));
    }
}

PS:事实证明,番石榴的笛卡尔积使用相同的算法。但是他们还为 List 创建了特殊的子类,以使其效率提高几倍。

像往常一样迟到,但这里有一个很好解释的使用数组的例子。它可以很容易地更改为列表。我需要按字典顺序为我的用例提供多个数组的所有唯一组合。

我发布它是因为这里的答案都没有给出明确的算法,而且我无法忍受递归。毕竟我们不在stackoverflow上吗?

String[][] combinations = new String[][] {
                 new String[] { "0", "1" },
                 new String[] { "0", "1" },
                 new String[] { "0", "1" },
                 new String[] { "0", "1" } };

    int[] indices = new int[combinations.length];
    
    int currentIndex = indices.length - 1;
    outerProcess: while (true) {

        for (int i = 0; i < combinations.length; i++) {
            System.out.print(combinations[i][indices[i]]);
        }
        System.out.println();

        while (true) {
            // Increase current index
            indices[currentIndex]++;
            // If index too big, set itself and everything right of it to 0 and move left
            if (indices[currentIndex] >= combinations[currentIndex].length) {
                for (int j = currentIndex; j < indices.length; j++) {
                    indices[j] = 0;
                }
                currentIndex--;
            } else {
                // If index is allowed, move as far right as possible and process next
                // combination
                while (currentIndex < indices.length - 1) {
                    currentIndex++;
                }
                break;
            }
            // If we cannot move left anymore, we're finished
            if (currentIndex == -1) {
                break outerProcess;
            }
        }
    }

使用Java 8 Stream mapreduce方法生成组合。

在线尝试!

public static <T> List<List<T>> combinations(List<List<T>> lists) {
    // incorrect incoming data
    if (lists == null) return Collections.emptyList();
    return lists.stream()
            // non-null and non-empty lists
            .filter(list -> list != null && list.size() > 0)
            // represent each list element as a singleton list
            .map(list -> list.stream().map(Collections::singletonList)
                    // Stream<List<List<T>>>
                    .collect(Collectors.toList()))
            // summation of pairs of inner lists
            .reduce((list1, list2) -> list1.stream()
                    // combinations of inner lists
                    .flatMap(inner1 -> list2.stream()
                            // merge two inner lists into one
                            .map(inner2 -> Stream.of(inner1, inner2)
                                    .flatMap(List::stream)
                                    .collect(Collectors.toList())))
                    // list of combinations
                    .collect(Collectors.toList()))
            // otherwise an empty list
            .orElse(Collections.emptyList());
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
    List<String> list1 = Arrays.asList("A", "B", "C");
    List<String> list2 = Arrays.asList("W", "X", "Y", "Z");
    List<String> list3 = Arrays.asList("L", "M", "K");

    List<List<String>> lists = Arrays.asList(list1, list2, list3);
    List<List<String>> combinations = combinations(lists);

    // column-wise output
    int rows = 6;
    IntStream.range(0, rows).forEach(i -> System.out.println(
            IntStream.range(0, combinations.size())
                    .filter(j -> j % rows == i)
                    .mapToObj(j -> combinations.get(j).toString())
                    .collect(Collectors.joining(" "))));
}

逐列输出:

[A, W, L] [A, Y, L] [B, W, L] [B, Y, L] [C, W, L] [C, Y, L]
[A, W, M] [A, Y, M] [B, W, M] [B, Y, M] [C, W, M] [C, Y, M]
[A, W, K] [A, Y, K] [B, W, K] [B, Y, K] [C, W, K] [C, Y, K]
[A, X, L] [A, Z, L] [B, X, L] [B, Z, L] [C, X, L] [C, Z, L]
[A, X, M] [A, Z, M] [B, X, M] [B, Z, M] [C, X, M] [C, Z, M]
