Subject: All Possible Combinations
Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2009 02:09:56 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <778c22e3-3233-4cec-899e-c9f77208155a@z14g2000yqa.googlegroups.com> (raw)
Hey!
I want a function that generates all possible combinations (ordering)
of the elements in a list (or sequence if possible). Here is my
mockup:
(defun all-combinations (n)
"Generate a listing of all the possible combinations of the
elements in the sequence N. Time-Complexity is N!"
(let (all)
all))
For example (all-combinations '(a b c)) should return '((a b c) (a c
b) (b a c) (b c a) (c a b) (c b a))
Has somebody written such a function, preferrably in an iterative
rather than recursive way.
Thanks in advance,
Nordlöw
