I was working on a Question which was ,
Input - A list of numbers - [1,2,3,4,5] example
We have to produce the subsets of this list and display those subsets whose sum is equal to 10
Output Format - [ [1,2] , [2,3] , [4,5,6] ] example
Means we have to append those subset in a list whose sum is 10 and make a nested list and print it as an output.
here is my code ..
defmodule Combination do
def combine([]) do
[]
end
def combine([head | tail]) do
tail_combinations = combine(tail)
merged_combinations = Enum.map(
[[]] ++ tail_combinations,
fn c -> c ++ [head] end
)
tail_combinations ++ merged_combinations
end
#Main thing I am doing here, i am Checking the sum of the subsets but unable to append the list of subset into another list and print the final list
def display(lis) do
a=[]
for vale <- Combination.combine(lis) do
if Enum.sum(vale)==6 do
a=a++[vale]
end
end
IO.inspect(a)
end
end
Combination.display([1,2,3,4])
Error :
erts@eyrc:~/fr_task0_9999/.vscode$ elixir practice.exs
warning: variable "a" is unused (if the variable is not meant to be used, prefix it with an underscore)
practice.exs:17: Combination.display/1
[]
erts@eyrc:~/fr_task0_9999/.vscode$
Can anyone help me i am new to elixir and i got stuct at this point.
Tell me how can i append the list in another list and print the whole list at once .
thank you

variable are immutable, you would need to use something like Enum.reduce.
To display the list you could just pipe the result to IO.inspect
I think this should give you what you want but looking at your combine, you might neet to reverse order some things.
I get the following output with your combine and my display:

Thanks a Lot Brother , i was stuct in this for last 3days

This is a typical code, just not for FP.
There is also a problem of scope, everything inside a do end block, will never make its way to the surrounding block.

I am facing another problem with the output
i.e this
when ever my
input is like - [1,2,3,4,5,6,7] , it gives me like this :-
And when i input something like this- [3, 5, 2, 7, 4, 2, 3] it gives me this :-
After puting several list i noticed that when ever my list is having repeating numbers like - [3, 5, 2, 7, 4, 2, 3] this
it shows like second one , but this not happens every time.
my code is this :
I want the output in linear format like this - [[1,2], [3,4], [5,6]]

Maybe it would be easier if you could explain what your
combine/1is supposed to be doing. As in what do you expect the outcome to be when calling that function with a list of integers. We might be able to better help if we understand the reason for the function and not just the outputGupta
basically my combine/1 is creating subset of the given list
actually i have taken this code from internet
and yes i think the output of my combine is affecting the output of my display/1
this is what i get from my combine/1
So can u tell me why this is happening ??

tomkonidas
Are you maybe looking for something like Enum.chunk_every/2?
tcoopman
You’re saying display the subsets with a sum of 10, but the sums you’re outputting is 3, 5, 15?

This is another question related to this

I was just giving u the example of output format
