I want to get the Cartesian product of a
, b
, c
, d
:
a = ['a1']
b = ['b1', 'b2']
c = ['c1', 'c2', 'c3']
d = ['d1']
Here is code in Ruby:
e = [b, c, d]
print a.product(*e)
Output is:
[
["a1", "b1", "c1", "d1"],
["a1", "b1", "c2", "d1"],
["a1", "b1", "c3", "d1"],
["a1", "b2", "c1", "d1"],
["a1", "b2", "c2", "d1"],
["a1", "b2", "c3", "d1"]
]
Is there a similar package or function that could do product in Golang? This is just simplified version, in fact, the input data is like [['a1'], ['b1','b2'], ['c1','c2','c3],['d1'],['e1',...],...].
If you need an unknown-at-compile-time set of nested index loops, you can use code like this.
package main
import "fmt"
// NextIndex sets ix to the lexicographically next value,
// such that for each i>0, 0 <= ix[i] < lens(i).
func NextIndex(ix []int, lens func(i int) int) {
for j := len(ix) - 1; j >= 0; j-- {
ix[j]++
if j == 0 || ix[j] < lens(j) {
return
}
ix[j] = 0
}
}
func main() {
e := [][]string{
{"a1"},
{"b1", "b2"},
{"c1", "c2", "c3"},
{"d1"},
}
lens := func(i int) int { return len(e[i]) }
for ix := make([]int, len(e)); ix[0] < lens(0); NextIndex(ix, lens) {
var r []string
for j, k := range ix {
r = append(r, e[j][k])
}
fmt.Println(r)
}
}
The output is:
[a1 b1 c1 d1]
[a1 b1 c2 d1]
[a1 b1 c3 d1]
[a1 b2 c1 d1]
[a1 b2 c2 d1]
[a1 b2 c3 d1]
