Combinations

class Combinations(*args)

Combinations generator.

Available constructors:

Combinations()

Combinations(k, n)

Parameters
kinteger

The cardinal of the subsets

ninteger

The cardinal of the base set

See also

CombinatorialGenerator, KPermutations, Tuples

Notes

In the first usage, the generator is built using the default values k = 1, n = 1.

In the second usage, the generator produces all the subsets with k elements of a base set with n elements. The subsets are produced as a collection of Indices in lexical order, the elements of each subset being sorted in increasing order.

The number of indices generated is:

\frac{n!}{k! (n - k)!}

The combinations generator generates a collection of Indices where:

  • the Indices are sorted in lexical order,

  • the components are sorted within a given Indices.

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> tuples = ot.Combinations(2, 5)
>>> print(tuples.generate())
[[0,1],[0,2],[0,3],[0,4],[1,2],[1,3],[1,4],[2,3],[2,4],[3,4]]#10
