Generate all combinations of supplied words in JavaScript
We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in an array of strings. The function should then generate and return all possible combinations of the strings of the array.
Example
The code for this will be −
const arr = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
const permutations = (len, val, existing) => {
if(len==0){
res.push(val);
return;
}
for(let i=0; i<arr.length; i++){
// so that we do not repeat the item, using an array here makes it
O(1) operation
if(!existing[i]){
existing[i] = true;
permutations(len−1, val+arr[i], existing);
existing[i] = false;
}
}
}
let res = [];
const buildPermuations = (arr = []) => {
for(let i=0; i < arr.length; i++){
permutations(arr.length−i, "", []);
}
};
buildPermuations(arr);
console.log(res);Example
And the output in the console will be −
[ 'abcd', 'abdc', 'acbd', 'acdb', 'adbc', 'adcb', 'bacd', 'badc', 'bcad', 'bcda', 'bdac', 'bdca', 'cabd', 'cadb', 'cbad', 'cbda', 'cdab', 'cdba', 'dabc', 'dacb', 'dbac', 'dbca', 'dcab', 'dcba', 'abc', 'abd', 'acb', 'acd', 'adb', 'adc', 'bac', 'bad', 'bca', 'bcd', 'bda', 'bdc', 'cab', 'cad', 'cba', 'cbd', 'cda', 'cdb', 'dab', 'dac', 'dba', 'dbc', 'dca', 'dcb', 'ab', 'ac', 'ad', 'ba', 'bc', 'bd', 'ca', 'cb', 'cd', 'da', 'db', 'dc', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd' ]
