Question

Please help me modify my code, I was not able to follow the output that our professor want us to do. Here is my code

This is the problem our prof gave us.

Write a python program that generates permutations from a given set taken "r" at a time.

Sample Output:

Enter the element of the set (S): 2,4,6,3,5

Enter the number of elements taken at a time (r): 2

The number of permutations is 20

(2,4), (4,2), (2,6), (6,2), (2,3), (3,2), (2, 5), (5,2), (4,6), (6,4), (4,3), (3,4), (4,5), (5,4), (6,3), (3,6), (6,5), (5,6), (3,5), (5,3)

Answer 1

# this can be solved in this way:

from itertools import permutations
p2 = permutations([2,4,6,3,5], 2)
for i in list(p2):
print(i)

Answer 2

You need to loop from 0 to X for the first, then from 1 to X, then from 2 to X (where X is the end) and so goes on... Notice the nested loop required for that.
You just get pairs of arr[i] and arr[j] and make a tuple.

Also notice how 2,2 is not in the sample output, you can start iterations from 1 and get arr[i-1] to omit self repetition.

Answer 3

Your code works?

Maybe simplify the input for testing purposes?
