arrangements

This library provides predicates for generating and querying arrangements over lists. Arrangements are ordered selections of a given length with element repetition allowed. The following categories of predicates are provided:

  • Generation operations - Predicates for generating arrangements.

  • Ordering variants - Predicates that support an additional order argument (default or lexicographic) for controlling output order.

  • Distinct-value generation - Predicates for generating arrangements while deduplicating equal-valued results.

  • Indexed access - Predicates for direct access to arrangements at specific positions, including distinct arrangements.

  • Lexicographic stepping - Predicates for navigating arrangements in lexicographic order.

  • Counting operations - Predicates for counting arrangements and distinct arrangements.

  • Random selection - Predicates for randomly selecting and sampling arrangements and distinct arrangements.

Dedicated cartesian_products, permutations, combinations, multisets, derangements, partitions, and subsequences libraries are also available for focused APIs on related operations.
