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

Python Itertools: Exercise-16 with Solution

Write a Python program 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)

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
