![]() I will go through two more examples, but I will ignore every instance of #1!# since #1! =1#. So the amount of permutations of the word "peace" is: For example, in the word "peace", #m_A = m_C = m_P = 1# and #m_E = 2#. Each #m# equals the amount of times the letter appears in the word. Where #n# is the amount of letters in the word, and #m_A,m_B.,m_Z# are the occurrences of repeated letters in the word. The second part of this answer deals with words that have repeated letters. There are computer algorithms and programs to help you with this, and this is probably the best solution. As you can tell, 720 different "words" will take a long time to write out. To write out all the permutations is usually either very difficult, or a very long task. To calculate the amount of permutations of a word, this is as simple as evaluating #n!#, where n is the amount of letters. This show the importance of hacking skills in daily problems.For the first part of this answer, I will assume that the word has no duplicate letters. Even a little touch to the formula speeds the calculation radically. Permutations is a mathematical function or method often denoted by (nPr) or n P r in the context of probability & statistics, represents how many number of possible ways r objects taken at a time from n distinct objects in statistical experiments where the order of objects is having much significance. So, we’ve mentioned how to find permutation combination pair in a faster way. The formula for permutation of n objects for r selection of objects is given by: P (n,r) n/ (n-r) For example, the number of ways 3rd and 4th position can be awarded to 10 members is given by: P (10, 2) 10/ (10-2) 10/8 (10.9.8)/8 10 x 9 90 Click here to understand the method of calculation of factorial. In other words, this approach is 5818 times faster than the traditional approach. ![]() #permutation = math.factorial(n) // math.factorial(n-r) #traditional permutationįaster way completed in 0.1218 seconds for P(5M, 10K) whereas traditional method completed in 708.82 seconds (11 minutes). We can adapt permutation in python easily. ![]() Similarly, we can calculate the permutation faster in this way. This is 4705 times faster than the traditional approach. Besides, we will calculate small sized multiplications in dividend instead of a large factorial calculation.įast_combination = dividend // math.factorial(b)Ĭalculation of 5M choose 10K completed in 0.077 seconds in this way. We firstly applied by-pass for a factorial calculation. So, we do not need to calculate the factorial of 3 anymore. We can now simplify the 3! terms in both dividend and divisor. Express dividend as the greater one in the dividend. On the other hand, we can speed it up if we wide our viewpoint. ![]() 5M choose 10K did last 363.25 seconds (or 6 minutes). Because, you have to perform factorial calculations of 3 different large numbers. However, you will still have performance issues. Replacing division operator from single division sign to double division sign will solve this.Ĭomb = math.factorial(n) // (math.factorial(r) * math.factorial(n-r)) ![]() However, this approach will cause trobule for large integers.Įven though you can find the factorial values, you will have “ integer division result too large for a float” message. Handling this exception is easy. 2) = 10Īdapting combination in python programming languages is easy.Ĭomb = math.factorial(n) / (math.factorial(r) * math.factorial(n-r)) Traditional formula of r-combination (or n choose r) is:Ĭ(5,3 ) = 5! / (3!. ![]()
