Consider another way to generate every sequence you need.
We will have a vector <int> cur
to store the current sequence, and a vector <bool> used
to track which integers are used and which are not.
In a recursive function with a depth
argument, find another unused integer, put it as cur[depth]
and proceed considering the next position, which is depth + 1
.
Print the result anytime the depth is in the required bounds.
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
int const n = 3;
void generate (vector <int> & cur, vector <bool> & used, int depth) {
if (depth >= 2) {
for (int i = 0; i < depth; i++) {
cout << cur[i] << ' ';
}
cout << endl;
}
for (int i = 0; i <= n; i++) {
if (!used[i]) {
used[i] = true;
cur[depth] = i;
generate (cur, used, depth + 1);
used[i] = false;
}
}
}
int main () {
vector <int> cur (n);
vector <bool> used (n, false);
cur[0] = 0;
used[0] = true;
generate (cur, used, 1);
return 0;
}
And the output is:
0 1
0 1 2
0 1 2 3
0 1 3
0 1 3 2
0 2
0 2 1
0 2 1 3
0 2 3
0 2 3 1
0 3
0 3 1
0 3 1 2
0 3 2
0 3 2 1
You can add the =====
part, too, if you print it when depth > n
.
