### permutations
|
||||
|
||||
⚠️ **WARNING**: This function's execution time increases exponentially with each array element. Anything more than 8 to 10 entries will cause your browser to hang as it tries to solve all the different combinations.
|
||||
|
||||
Generates all permutations of an array's elements (contains duplicates).
|
||||
|
||||
Use recursion.
|
||||
For each element in the given array, create all the partial permutations for the rest of its elements.
|
||||
Use `Array.map()` to combine the element with each partial permutation, then `Array.reduce()` to combine all permutations in one array.
|
||||
Base cases are for array `length` equal to `2` or `1`.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const permutations = arr => {
|
||||
if (arr.length <= 2) return arr.length === 2 ? [arr, [arr[1], arr[0]]] : arr;
|
||||
return arr.reduce(
|
||||
(acc, item, i) =>
|
||||
acc.concat(
|
||||
permutations([...arr.slice(0, i), ...arr.slice(i + 1)]).map(val => [
|
||||
item,
|
||||
...val,
|
||||
])
|
||||
),
|
||||
[]
|
||||
);
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
permutations([1, 33, 5]) // [ [ 1, 33, 5 ], [ 1, 5, 33 ], [ 33, 1, 5 ], [ 33, 5, 1 ], [ 5, 1, 33 ], [ 5, 33, 1 ] ]
|
||||
```
