Hướng dẫn dùng combination math python

❮ Math Methods


Example

Find the total number of possibilities to choose k things from n items:

# Import math Library
import math

# Initialize the number of items to choose from
n = 7

# Initialize the number of possibilities to choose
k = 5

# Print total number of possible combinations
print (math.comb(n, k))

The result will be:

21

Run Example »


Definition and Usage

The math.comb() method returns the number of ways picking k unordered outcomes from n possibilities, without repetition, also known as combinations.

Note: The parameters passed in this method must be positive integers.


Syntax

What is combination in Python?

Combination is the selection of set of elements from a collection, without regard to the order. For example, for the numbers 1,2,3, we can have three combinations if we select two numbers for each combination : (1,2), (1,3) and (2,3). In python, we can find out the combination of the items of any iterable.

How to find the combination of three numbers in Python?

For example, for the numbers 1,2,3, we can have three combinations if we select two numbers for each combination : (1,2), (1,3) and (2,3). In python, we can find out the combination of the items of any iterable. For that, we need to use the itertools package.

How to find permutations and combinations of a sequence in Python?

Python provides direct methods to find permutations and combinations of a sequence. These methods are present in itertools package. First import itertools package to implement the permutations method in python. This method takes a list as an input and returns an object list of tuples that contain all permutations in a list form.
