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

The simplest way to approach this is to use recursion. The function will have one loop in it and will call itself, merging itself with the output of the recursive call. Of course, recursion can be converted to iteration if you're worried about stack space, but at least as a starting point, the recursive solution will probably be easiest for you.
