all permutations with repetition C++
To generate all permutations with repetition in C++, you can use the std::next_permutation
function from the <algorithm>
library. This function generates the next lexicographically greater permutation of a sequence, which allows you to generate all possible permutations by repeatedly calling it.
Here are the steps to generate all permutations with repetition in C++:
- Include the necessary libraries:
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
- Define the input sequence:
std::vector<int> sequence = {1, 2, 2, 3};
- Sort the sequence:
std::sort(sequence.begin(), sequence.end());
Sorting the sequence is necessary for the std::next_permutation
function to work correctly.
- Generate permutations:
do {
// Print or process the current permutation
for (int num : sequence) {
std::cout << num << " ";
}
std::cout << std::endl;
} while (std::next_permutation(sequence.begin(), sequence.end()));
In the code above, the do-while
loop repeatedly calls std::next_permutation
to generate the next permutation. It also prints or processes the current permutation. The loop continues until std::next_permutation
returns false
, indicating that all permutations have been generated.
Here's the complete code:
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
int main() {
std::vector<int> sequence = {1, 2, 2, 3};
std::sort(sequence.begin(), sequence.end());
do {
for (int num : sequence) {
std::cout << num << " ";
}
std::cout << std::endl;
} while (std::next_permutation(sequence.begin(), sequence.end()));
return 0;
}
This code will output all permutations with repetition of the input sequence {1, 2, 2, 3}. The std::sort
function ensures that the sequence is sorted in ascending order before generating the permutations.
