Permutations of a set

I have a set of X items, but want permutations of length Y (X > Y). I
am aware of the permutation functions in <algorithm>, but I don't
believe this will do what I want. Is there a way, either through the
STL or some other library to do this, or do I need to write my own
code?

Not necessarily... 'qwerty' 'asdfg' and '1234' are not English words
AFAIK.

Some (hopefully many) systems will at least warn you that your password
is too trivial, so your examples might not be seen that often.

Hi, I am trying to come up with a way to develop all n-length permutations of a given list of values. The short function below seems to work, but I can't help thinking there's a better way. Not being a computer scientist, I find recursive functions to be frightening and unnatural. I'd appreciate if anyone can tell me the pythonic idiom to accomplish this. Thanks for your help,

Hi, I'd like to hack a function which returns all possible permutations as lists (or tuples) of two from a given list. So far, I came up with this solution, but it turned out to be too slow for the given problem, because the list passed ("atomlist") can be some 1e5 items long: def permute(atomlist, size = 2): """ returns a list of atoms grouped by two

Greetings, last week we talked a bit about generating permutations and I told you that this week will be about combinations. Not true; there's a bit more to tell about permutations and that's what this Tip Of The Week is about. Maybe later we'll talk a bit about combinations (if anyone's interested). The little utility class we implemented last week was able to generate a next permutation (if any) given a current permutation. But what...

Suppose we are having 3 variables...a,b,c And we want to print the permutations of these variables...Such as...abc,acb,bca...all 6 of them... But we are not supposed to do it mannually... I want to know that formula by which this can be possible... Then that program will be ok for nnumber of variables.... Can anyone help me for that?

I don't know if I'll need pointers for this or not. I wants numbers 10^16. Like a credit card 16 digits of possible 10 numbers, so I guess that would be 10^16. So I have int num ; These are of course declared and not initialized. Now I want to initialize them all with '\0'. That I'm guessing would involve while ( --). Or maybe for. Would pointers be involved in this? With this excercise I would learn working with multi-dimensional

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Dear forum friends, With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies. I'm particularly interested in Zigbee because I've heard it does some...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.

But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
