Count of distinct permutations of every possible length of given string

0 0 4 minutes read

Given a string S, the task is to count the distinct permutations of every possible length of the given string.

Note: Repetition of characters is not allowed in the string.

Input: S = “abc”
Output: 15
Explanation:
Possible Permutations of every length are:
{“a”, “b”, “c”, “ab”, “bc”, “ac”, “ba”, “ca”, “cb”, “abc”, “acb”, “bac”, “bca”, “cab”, “cba”}

Input: S = “xz”
Output: 4

Approach: The idea is to find the count of combinations of every possible length of the string and their sum is the total number of distinct permutations possible of different lengths. Therefore, for N length string total number of distinct permutation of different length is:

Total Combinations possible: ⁿP₁ + ⁿP₂ + ⁿP₃ + ⁿP₄ + …… + ⁿP_n

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation of the
// above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the factorial
// of a number
int fact(int a)
{
    int i, f = 1;
 
    // Loop to find the factorial
    // of the given number
    for (i = 2; i <= a; i++)
        f = f * i;
    return f;
}
 
// Function to find the number
// of permutations possible
// for a given string
int permute(int n, int r)
{
    int ans = 0;
    ans = (fact(n) / fact(n - r));
    return ans;
}
 
// Function to find the total
// number of combinations possible
int findPermutations(int n)
{
    int sum = 0, P;
    for (int r = 1; r <= n; r++) {
        P = permute(n, r);
        sum = sum + P;
    }
    return sum;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    string str = "xz";
    int result, n;
    n = str.length();
 
    cout << findPermutations(n);
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java implementation of the
// above approach
class GFG{
 
// Function to find the factorial
// of a number
static int fact(int a)
{
    int i, f = 1;
 
    // Loop to find the factorial
    // of the given number
    for(i = 2; i <= a; i++)
        f = f * i;
     
    return f;
}
 
// Function to find the number
// of permutations possible
// for a given String
static int permute(int n, int r)
{
    int ans = 0;
    ans = (fact(n) / fact(n - r));
    return ans;
}
 
// Function to find the total
// number of combinations possible
static int findPermutations(int n)
{
    int sum = 0, P;
    for(int r = 1; r <= n; r++)
    {
        P = permute(n, r);
        sum = sum + P;
    }
    return sum;
}
 
// Driver Code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    String str = "xz";
    int result, n;
    n = str.length();
 
    System.out.print(findPermutations(n));
}
