Howto create combinations of several vectors without hardcoding loops in C++?

Question

I have several data that looks like this:

Vector1_elements = T,C,A
Vector2_elements = C,G,A
Vector3_elements = C,G,T
..... up to ...
VectorK_elements = ...

         


        

Answer 1

Above printAll solution will crash when vectors are of not same size.

Fixed that issue :

 void printAll(const vector > &allVecs, size_t vecIndex, string strSoFar)
{
    if (vecIndex >= allVecs.size())
    {
        cout << strSoFar << endl;
        return;
    }

    for (size_t i = 0; i < allVecs[vecIndex].size(); i++)
    {
        if( i < allVecs[vecIndex].size() )
        {
            printAll(allVecs, vecIndex + 1, strSoFar + " " + allVecs[vecIndex][i]);
        }
    }
}

int main()
{
    vector  Vec1;
    Vec1.push_back("A1");
    Vec1.push_back("A2");
    Vec1.push_back("A3");
    Vec1.push_back("A4");

    vector  Vec2;
    Vec2.push_back("B1");
    Vec2.push_back("B2");

    vector  Vec3;
    Vec3.push_back("C1");

    vector > allVecs;
    allVecs.push_back(Vec3);
    allVecs.push_back(Vec1);
    allVecs.push_back(Vec2);

    printAll(allVecs, 0, "");
}
