combinations

This library provides predicates for generating and querying combinations over lists. The following categories of predicates are provided:

  • Generation operations - Predicates for generating combinations, including combinations with replacement.

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

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

  • Indexed access - Predicates for direct access to combinations at specific positions.

  • Counting operations - Predicates for counting combinations with and without replacement.

  • Random selection - Predicates for randomly selecting combinations.

Dedicated subsequences and permutations libraries are also available for focused APIs on those operations.
