I am trying to create a method that will return all subsets of a set.
For example if I have the collection 10,20,30 I will like to get the following ou
Get all subsets of a collection of a specific subsetlength:
public static IEnumerable> GetPermutations(IEnumerable list, int length) where T : IComparable
{
if (length == 1) return list.Select(t => new T[] { t });
return GetPermutations(list, length - 1).SelectMany(t => list.Where(e => t.All(g => g.CompareTo(e) != 0)), (t1, t2) => t1.Concat(new T[] { t2 }));
}
public static IEnumerable> GetOrderedSubSets(IEnumerable list, int length) where T : IComparable
{
if (length == 1) return list.Select(t => new T[] { t });
return GetOrderedSubSets(list, length - 1).SelectMany(t => list.Where(e => t.All(g => g.CompareTo(e) == -1)), (t1, t2) => t1.Concat(new T[] { t2 }));
}
Testcode:
List set = new List { 1, 2, 3 };
foreach (var x in GetPermutations(set, 3))
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Join(", ", x));
}
Console.WriteLine();
foreach (var x in GetPermutations(set, 2))
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Join(", ", x));
}
Console.WriteLine();
foreach (var x in GetOrderedSubSets(set, 2))
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Join(", ", x));
}
Test results:
1, 2, 3
1, 3, 2
2, 1, 3
2, 3, 1
3, 1, 2
3, 2, 1
1, 2
1, 3
2, 1
2, 3
3, 1
3, 2
1, 2
1, 3
2, 3
