p-c

permuations, combinations, rankName and lot more: (in development mode) all use cases not completed yet

Installation

Testing (after installing)

npm test

Start using (after installing) (trying)

you can try as soon as you install the package with your own input. :smile:

npm start
npm start <method> <input-string>
npm start rank rohan
npm start count rohan
npm start all rohan
npm start list rohan

Usage

var pc = require('p-c');

pc('cab').list(); /* [ 'aaa', 'aab', 'aac', 'aba', 'abb', 'abc', 'aca', 'acb', 'acc', 'baa', 'bab', 'bac', 'bba',
  'bbb', 'bbc', 'bca', 'bcb', 'bcc', 'caa', 'cab', 'cac', 'cba', 'cbb', 'cbc', 'cca', 'ccb', 'ccc' ] */
pc(10).list(); // [ '00', '01', '10', '11' ]
pc(['a','b']).list(); /* [ 'aa', 'ab', 'ba', 'bb' ] */
pc(['c','b']).list(); /* [ 'bb', 'bc', 'cb', 'cc' ] */
pc('cacb').list(); /* [ 'aaaa', 'aaab', 'aaac', 'aaba', 'aabb', 'aabc', 'aaca', 'aacb', 'aacc', 'abaa', 'abab', 'abac',
 ... ,
 'cbbc', 'cbca', 'cbcb', 'cbcc', 'ccaa', 'ccab', 'ccac', 'ccba', 'ccbb', 'ccbc', 'ccca', 'cccb', 'cccc' ]
 81 permutations */

pc('cab').rank(); // 19
pc('cacb').rank(); // 61

pc('cab').count(); // 27 (= 3^3)
pc('cacb').count(); // 81 (= 3^4)

var result = pc.permute('cab'); // returns an object
result.count();
result.rank();

var result = pc('cab'); // returns an object
result.count();
result.rank();

//examples with length
pc('01', 3).list() // [ '000', '001', '010', '011', '100', '101', '110', '111' ]
pc('cbad', 2).list() // [ 'aa', 'ab', 'ac', 'ad', 'ba', 'bb', 'bc', 'bd', 'ca', 'cb', 'cc', 'cd', 'da', 'db', 'dc', 'dd' ]

Notes

all 3: pc(args), pc.permute(args) & pc.name(args) are equivalent

• args: param1
• args: param1, len(number)

• args: param1, opts(object)

• param1: string // string or convertible to string

• param1: array // array of chars // joined using no seperator

Advanced

//examples with opts
pc('cbad', {length:2, sortChars:false}); // [ 'cc', 'cb', 'ca', 'cd', 'bc', 'bb', 'ba', 'bd', 'ac', 'ab', 'aa', 'ad', 'dc', 'db', 'da', 'dd' ]
pc('cbad', {length:2, repeatChars:false}); // [ 'ab', 'ac', 'ad', 'ba', 'bc', 'bd', 'ca', 'cb', 'cd', 'da', 'db', 'dc' ]
pc('cbad', {length:2, sortChars:false, repeatChars:false}); // [ 'cb', 'ca', 'cd', 'bc', 'ba', 'bd', 'ac', 'ab', 'ad', 'dc', 'db', 'da' ]

Defaults

• repeatChars: true
• sortChars: true
• length: length of input string

Examples explained in AMAP detail

AMAP: as much as possible :wink:

1. var string = 'cab'; pc(string).list();
   • will produce same result if string = 'cba' or 'abc' or 'acb' ..
   • Objective: get an array of all the permutations made by characters (sorted) of input string
   • process: save length of string find distinct characters, sort these repeat is ON push permutations of saved length in array, return it

• var string = 'cab'; pc(string).rank(); will NOT produce same result if string = 'cba' or 'abc' or 'acb' .. Objective: find position of input string in such list() notes: other than string's length is not recommended * sortChars=false is highly discouraged, while rank(), BECAUSE you will get 1 always.
