Permutations

kotlin
setOf(1, 2, 3).permutations() // {[1, 2, 3], [2, 1, 3], [3, 2, 1], [1, 3, 2], [2, 3, 1], [3, 1, 2]} setOf(1, 2, 3).permutationsNumber() // 6 listOf(1, 2, 2).permutations() // {[1, 2, 2], [2, 1, 2], [2, 2, 1]} listOf(1, 2, 2).permutationsNumber() // 3

Combinations

kotlin
setOf(1, 2, 3, 4).combinations(3) // { {1, 2, 3}, {1, 2, 4}, {1, 4, 3}, {4, 2, 3} } setOf(1, 2, 3, 4).combinationNumber(3) // 4 setOf(1, 2, 3, 4).combinationsWithRepetitions(2) // [{1=2}, {1=1, 2=1}, {1=1, 3=1}, {1=1, 4=1}, {2=2}, {2=1, 3=1}, {2=1, 4=1}, {3=2}, {3=1, 4=1}, {4=2}] setOf(1, 2, 3, 4).combinationsWithRepetitionsNumber(2) // 10

Powerset

Powerset of any set S is the set of all subsets of S, including the empty set and S itself.

kotlin
setOf(1, 2, 3).powerset() // { {}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 3}, {1, 2, 3} } setOf(1, 2, 3).powersetSize() // 8

Product

Product is the result of multiplying.

kotlin
(3..4).product() // 12 listOf(10, 10, 10).product() // 1000

More examples here.

Factorial

Factorian of n (n!) is a product of all positive integers less than or equal to n.

kotlin
3.factorial() // 6L 10.factorial() // 3628800L 20.factorial() // 2432902008176640000L

More examples here.

Numbers divisible and non-divisible by

kotlin
(1..1000).countNonDivisiveBy(2) // 500 (1..1000).countNonDivisiveBy(3) // 777 (1..1000).countNonDivisiveBy(2, 6, 13) // 462 (1..1000).countNonDivisiveBy(3, 7, 11) // 520 (1..1000).countDivisiveBy(2) // 500 (1..1000).countDivisiveBy(3) // 333 (1..1000).countDivisiveBy(2, 6, 13) // 538 (1..1000).countDivisiveBy(3, 7, 11) // 480

Splits of sets and numbers

In Descrete Math there are two functions used to count number of splits:
S(n, k) - Stirling function - number of splits of n different elements to k groups
P(n, k) - number of splits of n identical elements to k groups

kotlin
(1..n).toSet().splitsNumber(1) // 1 (1..n).toSet().splitsNumber(n) // 1 setOf(1, 2, 3).splitsNumber(2) // 3 setOf(1, 2, 3, 4).splitsNumber(2) // 7 setOf(1, 2, 3, 4, 5).splitsNumber(3) // 25 setOf(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7).splitsNumber(4) // 350 setOf(1, 2, 3).splits(2) // { { {1, 2}, {3} },{ {1, 3}, {2} },{ {3, 2}, {1} } }

More examples here

kotlin
n.splitsNumber(1) // 1 n.splitsNumber(n) // 1 7.splitsNumber(4) // 3 11.splitsNumber(4) // 11 9.splitsNumber(5) // 5 13.splitsNumber(8) // 7

Iterable multiplication

Multiplication of iterables returns iterable with pairs of each possible connections of elements from first and iterable:

kotlin
listOf(1, 2) * listOf("A", "B") // returns List<Pair<Int, String>> // [(1, "A"), (1, "B"), (2, "A"), (2, "B")] listOf('a', 'b') * listOf(1, 2) * listOf("A", "B") // returns List<Triple<Char, Int, String>> // [ // ('a', 1, "A"), ('a', 1, "B"), // ('a', 2, "A"), ('a', 2, "B"), // ('b', 1, "A"), ('b', 1, "B"), // ('b', b, "A"), ('b', 2, "B") // ]

More examples here.

Cartesian product of lists

Similar to iterable multiplication but produces sequence of lists:

kotlin
listOf('A', 'B', 'C', D).cartesianProduct(listOf('x', 'y')) // returns List<List<Char>> // [ // ['A', 'x'], // ['A', 'y'], // ['B', 'x'], // ['B', 'y'], // ['C', 'x'], // ['C', 'y'], // ['D', 'x'], // ['D', 'y'] // ] listOf(0, 1).cartesianProduct(repeat = 2) // returns List<List<Int>> // [ // [0, 0], // [0, 1], // [1, 0], // [1, 1] // ] listOf(1, 2).cartesianProduct(listOf("ABC")) // returns List<List<Any>> // [ // [1, "ABC"], // [2, "ABC"] // ]

More examples here.

Java support

Library is fully supporting usage from Java. All functions can be used as static function of DiscreteMath. For example:

java
DiscreteMath.permutationsNumber(set) DiscreteMath.permutationsNumber(list) DiscreteMath.factorial(10) // 3628800L

Returned list and sets are Java standard lists and sets. More examples of Java usage here.
