Task
Combinations with repetitions
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

The set of combinations with repetitions is computed from a set, (of cardinality ), and a size of resulting selection, , by reporting the sets of cardinality where each member of those sets is chosen from . In the real world, it is about choosing sets where there is a “large” supply of each type of element and where the order of choice does not matter. For example:

Q: How many ways can a person choose two doughnuts from a store selling three types of doughnut: iced, jam, and plain? (i.e., is , , and .)
A: 6: ; ; ; ; ; .

Note that both the order of items within a pair, and the order of the pairs given in the answer is not significant; the pairs represent multisets.

Task description

  • Write a function/program/routine/.. to generate all the combinations with repetitions of types of things taken at a time and use it to show an answer to the doughnut example above.
  • For extra credit, use the function to compute and show just the number of ways of choosing three doughnuts from a choice of ten types of doughnut. Do not show the individual choices for this part.

Haskell

<lang haskell> import Data.List

-- Return the combinations, with replacement, of k items from the -- list. We ignore the case where k is greater than the length of -- the list. combsWithRep 0 _ = [[]] combsWithRep _ [] = [] combsWithRep k xxs@(x:xs) = map (x:) (combsWithRep (k-1) xxs) ++ combsWithRep k xs

countCombsWithRep k = length . combsWithRep k

main = do

 print $ combsWithRep 2 ["iced","jam","plain"]
 print $ countCombsWithRep 3 [1..10]

Example output:

Icon and Unicon

Following procedure is a generator, which generates each combination of length n in turn: <lang Icon>

  1. generate all combinations of length n from list L,
  2. including repetitions

procedure combinations_repetitions (L, n)

 if n = 0
   then suspend [] # if reach 0, then return an empty list
   else if *L > 0
     then {
       # keep the first element
       item := L[1]                                         
       # get all of length n in remaining list
       every suspend (combinations_repetitions (L[2:0], n)) 
       # get all of length n-1 in remaining list
       # and add kept element to make list of size n
       every i := combinations_repetitions (L, n-1) do      
         suspend [item] ||| i                               
     }

end </lang>

Test procedure:

<lang Icon>

  1. convenience function

procedure write_list (l)

 every (writes (!l || " "))
 write ()

end

  1. testing routine

procedure main ()

 # display all combinations for 2 of iced/jam/plain
 every write_list (combinations_repetitions(["iced", "jam", "plain"], 2))
 # get a count for number of ways to select 3 items from 10
 every push(num_list := [], 1 to 10)
 count := 0
 every combinations_repetitions(num_list, 3) do count +:= 1
 write ("There are " || count || " possible combinations of 3 from 10")

end </lang>

Output:

This generalization allows producing a combination from any collection of elements. nextCombination() returns the value #False when the indexes have reach their maximum values and are then reset.

Sample output:

Combinations of 2 dougnuts taken 3 at a time with repetitions.
  iced + iced
  iced + jam
  iced + plain
  jam + jam
  jam + plain
  plain + plain
Total combination count: 6

Ways to select 3 items from 10 types: 220

Python

<lang python>>>> from itertools import combinations_with_replacement >>> n, k = 'iced jam plain'.split(), 2 >>> list(combinations_with_replacement(n,k)) [('iced', 'iced'), ('iced', 'jam'), ('iced', 'plain'), ('jam', 'jam'), ('jam', 'plain'), ('plain', 'plain')] >>> # Extra credit >>> len(list(combinations_with_replacement(range(10), 3))) 220 >>> </lang>

Scala

Scala has a combinations method in the standard library. <lang scala> object CombinationsWithRepetition {

 def multi[A](as: List[A], k: Int): List[List[A]] = 
   (List.fill(k)(as)).flatten.combinations(k).toList
 
 def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
   val doughnuts = multi(List("iced", "jam", "plain"), 2)
   for (combo <- doughnuts) println(combo.mkString(","))
 
   val bonus = multi(List(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9), 3).size
   println("There are "+bonus+" ways to choose 3 items from 10 choices")
 }

} </lang>

Output

iced,iced
iced,jam
iced,plain
jam,jam
jam,plain
plain,plain
There are 220 ways to choose 3 items from 10 choices
