Permutation of an array of strings
So, after a long search on the internet for a permutation of an array of strings I have given up hope, and tried to make it myself.
I have gotten pretty far and damn proud of it, but once i am done with the last and second to last lines....it gets really hard. The code and output is given below.
Right now, I think my knowledge is reaching the limit of what i can do for this program...so I'm going to you for help.
If you know an algorithm on how to do this please share, or at least help me because each time I go down the list I need another loop and statements to complement it.
I might need some type of loop expansion that depends on the amount of k? on top of that an expanding list of ints? Just a guess though.
Please, for the love of god, help me! Thanks :P
Code:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
const int n = 11;
const char list[][3] = {"H","B","C","N","P","O","S","Se","F","Cl","Br","I"};
int k = 5;
char kArray [4][3] = {"H","H","H","H","H"};
int temp;
int temp2;
int ktemp = k;
int zero = 0;
int zero2 = 0;
int count = 1;
for(temp=0;temp<=n;temp++)// temp = ktemp-1;ktemp>=0;ktemp--)
{
for(temp2 = 0;temp2<=n;temp2++) //this loop makes the last on the list chnage to all n forms
{
strcpy(kArray[4-zero2], list[temp2]);
printf("%s %s %s %s %s\n", kArray[0], kArray[1], kArray[2], kArray[3], kArray[4]);
}
zero++;
strcpy(kArray[4],"H");
strcpy(kArray[4-count],list[zero]);
}
return(0);
}
Output:
Code:
H H H H H
H H H H B
H H H H C
H H H H N
H H H H P
H H H H O
H H H H S
H H H H Se
H H H H F
H H H H Cl
H H H H Br
H H H H I
H H H B H
H H H B B
H H H B C
H H H B N
H H H B P
H H H B O
H H H B S
H H H B Se
H H H B F
H H H B Cl
H H H B Br
H H H B I
H H H C H
H H H C B
H H H C C
H H H C N
H H H C P
H H H C O
H H H C S
H H H C Se
H H H C F
H H H C Cl
H H H C Br
H H H C I
H H H N H
H H H N B
H H H N C
H H H N N
H H H N P
H H H N O
H H H N S
H H H N Se
H H H N F
H H H N Cl
H H H N Br
H H H N I
H H H P H
H H H P B
H H H P C
H H H P N
H H H P P
H H H P O
H H H P S
H H H P Se
H H H P F
H H H P Cl
H H H P Br
H H H P I
H H H O H
H H H O B
H H H O C
H H H O N
H H H O P
H H H O O
H H H O S
H H H O Se
H H H O F
H H H O Cl
H H H O Br
H H H O I
H H H S H
H H H S B
H H H S C
H H H S N
H H H S P
H H H S O
H H H S S
H H H S Se
H H H S F
H H H S Cl
H H H S Br
H H H S I
H H H Se H
H H H Se B
H H H Se C
H H H Se N
H H H Se P
H H H Se O
H H H Se S
H H H Se Se
H H H Se F
H H H Se Cl
H H H Se Br
H H H Se I
H H H F H
H H H F B
H H H F C
H H H F N
H H H F P
H H H F O
H H H F S
H H H F Se
H H H F F
H H H F Cl
H H H F Br
H H H F I
H H H Cl H
H H H Cl B
H H H Cl C
H H H Cl N
H H H Cl P
H H H Cl O
H H H Cl S
H H H Cl Se
H H H Cl F
H H H Cl Cl
H H H Cl Br
H H H Cl I
H H H Br H
H H H Br B
H H H Br C
H H H Br N
H H H Br P
H H H Br O
H H H Br S
H H H Br Se
H H H Br F
H H H Br Cl
H H H Br Br
H H H Br I
H H H I H
H H H I B
H H H I C
H H H I N
H H H I P
H H H I O
H H H I S
H H H I Se
H H H I F
H H H I Cl
H H H I Br
H H H I I
So output after this should be:
Code:
H H B H H
H H B H B
H H B H C
H H B H ...so on
H H B C H
H H B C C
H H B C ...so on
H H B ... ... so on
H H C H H
H H ... ... ... so on
Hope you understood that :S
