Finding all possible ways of integer partitioning in JavaScript
The partition of a positive integer n is a way of writing n as a sum of positive integers. Two sums that differ only in the order of their summands are considered the same partition.
For example, 4 can be partitioned in five distinct ways −
4 3 + 1 2 + 2 2 + 1 + 1 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in a positive integer as the only argument. The function should find and return all the possible ways of partitioning that integer.
Example
Following is the code −
const findPartitions = (num = 1) => {
const arr = Array(num + 1).fill(null).map(() => {
return Array(num + 1).fill(null);
});
for (let j = 1; j <= num; j += 1) {
arr[0][j] = 0;
}
for (let i = 0; i <= num; i += 1) {
arr[i][0] = 1;
}
for (let i = 1; i <= num; i += 1) {
for (let j = 1; j <= num; j += 1) {
if (i > j) {
arr[i][j] = arr[i - 1][j];
}
else {
const exclusive = arr[i - 1][j];
const inclusive = arr[i][j - i];
arr[i][j] = exclusive + inclusive;
}
}
}
return arr[num][num];
};
console.log(findPartitions(4));Output
Following is the output on console −
