How many different ways do we have to group them? [duplicate]












-1
















This question already has an answer here:




  • Partition of an Integer + Number of partitions

    3 answers




I want to group them in all possible ways.



For example: If we have 5 stones, we will have 7 different ways to group them.



X   X   X   X   X
XX X X X
XXX X X
XXX XX
XX XX X
XXXX X
XXXXX


I've been trying to get the algorithm out all day but I can not get it, do you have any idea how to do this?



Thanks

  • Yes, I currently have a formula that works for me in some cases but not very large numbers. The formula that I am implementing recursively is import math n = 10 p = [0,1,2] for i in range (3, n + 1): p.append ((sum (p) + 1-2) / 2 + 2) print (p) The idea is to add the previous possibilities and add the current one.

This is equivalent to finding integer partitions of the number of stones you have. For example:



5 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1    -->     X     X   X   X   X
5 = 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 --> XX X X X
5 = 3 + 1 + 1 --> XXX X X
5 = 2 + 2 + 1 --> XX XX X
5 = 4 + 1 --> XXXX X
5 = 3 + 2 --> XXX XX
5 = 5 --> XXXXX


Each line encodes a possible group configuration, where each integer on the right hand side represents the number of stones in a group.

    @slider They're slightly different: in this case we're distributing identical objects into identical bins, whereas stars+bars is distinct bins.
