  2. Programming by permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_by_permutation

    Programming by permutation, sometimes called "programming by accident" or "shotgunning", is an approach to software development wherein a programming problem is solved by iteratively making small changes (permutations) and testing each change to see if it behaves as desired. This approach sometimes seems attractive when the programmer does not ...

  3. Heap's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap's_algorithm

    In a 1977 review of permutation-generating algorithms, Robert Sedgewick concluded that it was at that time the most effective algorithm for generating permutations by computer. [2] The sequence of permutations of n objects generated by Heap's algorithm is the beginning of the sequence of permutations of n+1 objects.

  4. Permutation codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permutation_Codes

    A main problem in permutation codes is to determine the value of (,), where (,) is defined to be the maximum number of codewords in a permutation code of length and minimum distance . There has been little progress made for 4 ≤ d ≤ n − 1 {\displaystyle 4\leq d\leq n-1} , except for small lengths.

  5. Superpermutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superpermutation

    First, the superpermutation of order is split into its individual permutations in the order of how they appeared in the superpermutation. Each of those permutation are then placed next to a copy of themselves with an nth symbol added in between the two copies. Finally, each resulting structure is placed next to each other and all adjacent ...

  6. Twelvefold way - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelvefold_way

    This case is equivalent to counting sequences of n distinct elements of X, also called n-permutations of X, or sequences without repetitions; again this sequence is formed by the n images of the elements of N. This case differs from the one of unrestricted sequences in that there is one choice fewer for the second element, two fewer for the ...

  7. Fisher–Yates shuffle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher–Yates_shuffle

    Suppose the initial iteration swapped the final element with the one at (non-final) position k, and that the subsequent permutation of first n − 1 elements then moved it to position l; we compare the permutation π of all n elements with that remaining permutation σ of the first n − 1 elements.

  8. Bogosort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogosort

    In computer science, bogosort [1] [2] (also known as permutation sort and stupid sort [3]) is a sorting algorithm based on the generate and test paradigm. The function successively generates permutations of its input until it finds one that is sorted. It is not considered useful for sorting, but may be used for educational purposes, to contrast ...

  9. HackerRank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HackerRank

    HackerRank's programming challenges can be solved in a variety of programming languages (including Java, C++, PHP, Python, SQL, and JavaScript) and span multiple computer science domains. [ 2 ] HackerRank categorizes most of their programming challenges into a number of core computer science domains, [ 3 ] including database management ...
