How to get ALL combinations of a list of words using ANY number of words
I have searched but I can't find anything that matches my query. I have seen lots of solutions where people want all combinations of numbers/words that use ALL the options, but none like this开发者_JS百科...
Here's an example:
apple pear
This should generate:
apple
pear apple pear pear apple
Or even...
apple pear banana
apple
pear banana apple pear apple banana pear banana ... ... banana pear apple
The key is, ALL possible combinations that use any of the words zero or one times in ANY order. :)
FINAL ANSWER AT THE BOTTOM
Pseudocode (has not been tested)
$str = "apple pear banana";
$str_splode = explode(' ',$str);
echo showCombo($str_splode[0], $str_splode);
function showCombo($str, $arr){
$ret = '';
foreach($arr as $val){
if($val != $str)
$ret .= $str.showCombo($val, $arr);
}
return $ret;
}
Running code: http://codepad.org/IUPJbhI7
<?php
$str = "apple pear banana orange";
$str_splode = explode(' ',$str);
print_r(showCombo(array(), $str_splode));
function showCombo($str_arr, $arr){
$ret = array();
foreach($arr as $val){
if(!in_array($val, $str_arr)){
$temp = $str_arr;
$temp[] = $val;
print_r($temp);
$comb = showCombo($temp, $arr);
if(count($comb) > 0)
$ret[] = $comb;
}
}
return $ret;
}
?>
This returns all possible combinations
Or this one looks better: http://codepad.org/KCLeRUYs
<?php
$str = "apple pear banana orange";
$str_splode = explode(' ',$str);
print_r(showCombo(array(), $str_splode));
function showCombo($str_arr, $arr){
$ret = array();
foreach($arr as $val){
if(!in_array($val, $str_arr)){
$temp = $str_arr;
$temp[] = $val;
$ret[$val] = $temp;
$ret[$val][] = showCombo($temp, $arr);
}
}
return $ret;
}
?>

Final Answer:
And this one lists them all: http://codepad.org/vndOI9Yj
<?php
$str = "apple pear banana orange";
$str_splode = explode(' ',$str);
$combos = showCombo(array(), $str_splode);
foreach($combos as $key=>$array){
echo $key.PHP_EOL;
displayArrayByKey($key, $array);
}
function displayArrayByKey($str, $arr){
foreach($arr as $key=>$array){
$string = $str. " " . $key;
echo $string . PHP_EOL;
if(count($array)> 0){
displayArrayByKey($string, $array);
}
}
}
function showCombo($str_arr, $arr){
$ret = array();
foreach($arr as $val){
if(!in_array($val, $str_arr)){
$temp = $str_arr;
$temp[] = $val;
$ret[$val] = showCombo($temp, $arr);
}
}
return $ret;
}
?>
You can download this class: http://pear.php.net/package/Math_Combinatorics
and use it like:
$combinatorics = new Math_Combinatorics;
$words_arr = array(
'one' => 'a',
'two' => 'b',
'three' => 'c',
'four' => 'd',
);
for ($i=count($words_arr)-1;$i>=1;$i--) {
echo '<br><br>' . $i . ':<br>';
$combinations_arr = $combinatorics->combinations($words_arr, $i);
foreach ($combinations_arr as $combinations_arr_item) {
echo implode(', ', $combinations_arr_item) . '<br>';
}
}
