Python: Find the sorted sequence from a set of permutations of a given input


16. Sorted Permutation Sequence

Write a Python program to find the sorted sequence from a set of permutations of a given input.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

from itertools import permutations
from more_itertools import windowed 
def is_seq_sorted(lst):
  print(lst)  
  return all(
    x <= y
    for x, y in windowed(lst, 2)
  )
def permutation_sort(lst):
  return next(
    permutation_seq
    for permutation_seq in permutations(lst)
    if is_seq_sorted(permutation_seq)
  )
print("All the sequences:")
print("\nSorted sequence: ",permutation_sort([12, 10, 9]))

print("\n\nAll the sequences:")
print("\nSorted sequence: ",permutation_sort([2, 3, 1, 0]))

Sample Output:

All the sequences:
(12, 10, 9)
(12, 9, 10)
(10, 12, 9)
(10, 9, 12)
(9, 12, 10)
(9, 10, 12)

Sorted sequence:  (9, 10, 12)


All the sequences:
(2, 3, 1, 0)
(2, 3, 0, 1)
(2, 1, 3, 0)
(2, 1, 0, 3)
(2, 0, 3, 1)
(2, 0, 1, 3)
(3, 2, 1, 0)
(3, 2, 0, 1)
(3, 1, 2, 0)
(3, 1, 0, 2)
(3, 0, 2, 1)
(3, 0, 1, 2)
(1, 2, 3, 0)
(1, 2, 0, 3)
(1, 3, 2, 0)
(1, 3, 0, 2)
(1, 0, 2, 3)
(1, 0, 3, 2)
(0, 2, 3, 1)
(0, 2, 1, 3)
(0, 3, 2, 1)
(0, 3, 1, 2)
(0, 1, 2, 3)

Sorted sequence:  (0, 1, 2, 3)
