In this example, you will learn to compute all the permutation of the string.
To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of the following Python programming topics:
Permutation is the method of selecting elements from a set in different ways.
For example: the number of ways in which characters from yup
can be selected are yup
, ypu
, uyp
, upy
, puy
, pyu
, and not selecting any.
We will perform the same in the following examples.
1. Example 1: Using recursion
def get_permutation(string, i=0): if i == len(string): print("".join(string)) for j in range(i, len(string)): words = # swap words[i], words[j] = words[j], words[i] get_permutation(words, i + 1) print(get_permutation('yup'))
Output
yup ypu uyp upy puy pyu None
In this example, recursion is used to find the permutations of a string yup
.
- The if condition prints
string
passed as argument if it is equal to the length ofyub
. - In each iteration of the for loop, each character of
yup
is stored inwords
. - The elements of words are swapped. In this way, we achieve all different combinations of characters.
- This process continues until the maximum length is reached.
2. Example 2: Using itertools
from itertools import permutations words = [''.join(p) for p in permutations('pro')] print(words)
Output
['pro', 'por', 'rpo', 'rop', 'opr', 'orp']
Using permutations from itertools
module, we can find the permutations of a string.
