itertools

This module provides generators for iterating subsets of an input. It is heavily inspired by the combinatorial iterators provided by the itertools package from the Python standard library.

• All generators are importable on their own.
• These implementations do not build up intermediate results in memory.
• All functions iterate subsets lexicographically according to their input indices. If the input is sorted the output will be too.
• Likewise, whether the input elements are unique or not does not matter.
• The inputs provided are not modified, however, consumable iterables will be consumed.

Usage

Simple Combinations

Returns r-length subsequences of elements from the input iterable. Order of selection does not matter and elements are chosen without replacement.

import { assertEquals } from "@std/assert";
import { combinations } from "jsr:@gabelluardo/itertools";

const sequences = [...combinations([1, 2, 3, 4], 2)];

assertEquals(sequences, [
  [1, 2],
  [1, 3],
  [1, 4],
  [2, 3],
  [2, 4],
  [3, 4],
]);

Simple Permutations

Returns successive r-length permutations of elements from the iterable.

import { assertEquals } from "@std/assert";
import { permutations } from "jsr:@gabelluardo/itertools";

const sequences = [...permutations([1, 2, 3, 4], 2)];

assertEquals(sequences, [
  [1, 2],
  [1, 3],
  [1, 4],
  [2, 1],
  [2, 3],
  [2, 4],
  [3, 1],
  [3, 2],
  [3, 4],
  [4, 1],
  [4, 2],
  [4, 3],
]);

Combinations with Replacement

Returns r-length subsequences of elements from the input iterable allowing individual elements to be repeated more than once.

import { assertEquals } from "@std/assert";
import { combinationsWithReplacement } from "jsr:@gabelluardo/itertools";

const sequences = [...combinationsWithReplacement([1, 2, 3, 4], 2)];

assertEquals(sequences, [
  [1, 1],
  [1, 2],
  [1, 3],
  [1, 4],
  [2, 2],
  [2, 3],
  [2, 4],
  [3, 3],
  [3, 4],
  [4, 4],
]);

Permutations with Replacement

Returns successive r-length permutations of elements from the iterable allowing individual elements to be repeated more than once.

import { assertEquals } from "@std/assert";
import { permutationsWithReplacement } from "jsr:@gabelluardo/itertools";

const sequences = [...permutationsWithReplacement([1, 2, 3, 4], 2)];

assertEquals(sequences, [
  [1, 1],
  [1, 2],
  [1, 3],
  [1, 4],
  [2, 1],
  [2, 2],
  [2, 3],
  [2, 4],
  [3, 1],
  [3, 2],
  [3, 3],
  [3, 4],
  [4, 1],
  [4, 2],
  [4, 3],
  [4, 4],
]);

Cartesian Product

Generates the Cartesian product of input iterables. Roughly equivalent to nested for...of loops, where each loop uses one of the inputs to provide the element at the corresponding position in the yielded Array.

import { assertEquals } from "@std/assert";
import { product } from "jsr:@gabelluardo/itertools";

const sequences = [
  ...product([
    [1, 2, 3],
    [4, 5, 6],
    [7, 8, 9],
  ]),
];

assertEquals(sequences, [
  [1, 4, 7],
  [1, 4, 8],
  [1, 4, 9],
  [1, 5, 7],
  [1, 5, 8],
  [1, 5, 9],
  [1, 6, 7],
  [1, 6, 8],
  [1, 6, 9],
  [2, 4, 7],
  [2, 4, 8],
  [2, 4, 9],
  [2, 5, 7],
  [2, 5, 8],
  [2, 5, 9],
  [2, 6, 7],
  [2, 6, 8],
  [2, 6, 9],
  [3, 4, 7],
  [3, 4, 8],
  [3, 4, 9],
  [3, 5, 7],
  [3, 5, 8],
  [3, 5, 9],
  [3, 6, 7],
  [3, 6, 8],
  [3, 6, 9],
]);
