38 Math::GSL::Combination - Functions for creating and manipulating combinations
40 =head1 SYNOPSIS
42 use Math::GSL::Combination qw /:all/;
44 =head1 DESCRIPTION
46 Here is a list of all the functions in this module :
48 =over
50 =item * C<gsl_combination_alloc($n, $k)> - This function allocates memory for a new combination with parameters $n, $k. The combination is not initialized and its elements are undefined. Use the function gsl_combination_calloc if you want to create a combination which is initialized to the lexicographically first combination.
52 =item * C<gsl_combination_calloc($n, $k)> - This function allocates memory for a new combination with parameters $n, $k and initializes it to the lexicographically first combination.
54 =item * C<gsl_combination_init_first($c)> - This function initializes the combination $c to the lexicographically first combination, i.e. (0,1,2,...,k-1).
56 =item * C<gsl_combination_init_last($c)> - This function initializes the combination $c to the lexicographically last combination, i.e. (n-k,n-k+1,...,n-1).
58 =item * C<gsl_combination_free($c)> - This function frees all the memory used by the combination $c.
60 =item * C<gsl_combination_memcpy($dest, $src)> - This function copies the elements of the combination $src into the combination $dest. The two combinations must have the same size.
62 =item * C<gsl_combination_get($c, $i)> - This function returns the value of the i-th element of the combination $c. If $i lies outside the allowed range of 0 to k-1 then the error handler is invoked and 0 is returned.
64 =item * C<gsl_combination_fwrite($stream, $c)> - This function writes the elements of the combination $c to the stream $stream, opened with the gsl_fopen function from the Math::GSL module, in binary format. The function returns $GSL_EFAILED if there was a problem writing to the file. Since the data is written in the native binary format it may not be portable between different architectures.
66 =item * C<gsl_combination_fread($stream, $c)> - This function reads elements from the open stream $stream, opened with the gsl_fopen function from the Math::GSL module, into the combination $c in binary format. The combination $c must be preallocated with correct values of n and k since the function uses the size of $c to determine how many bytes to read. The function returns $GSL_EFAILED if there was a problem reading from the file. The data is assumed to have been written in the native binary format on the same architecture.
68 =item * C<gsl_combination_fprintf($stream, $c, $format)> - This function writes the elements of the combination $c line-by-line to the stream $stream, opened with the gsl_fopen function from the Math::GSL module, using the format specifier $format, which should be suitable for a type of size_t. In ISO C99 the type modifier z represents size_t, so "%zu\n" is a suitable format. The function returns $GSL_EFAILED if there was a problem writing to the file.
70 =item * C<gsl_combination_fscanf($stream, $c)> -This function reads formatted data from the stream $stream into the combination $c. The combination $c must be preallocated with correct values of n and k since the function uses the size of $c to determine how many numbers to read. The function returns $GSL_EFAILED if there was a problem reading from the file.
72 =item * C<gsl_combination_n($c)> - This function returns the range (n) of the combination $c.
74 =item * C<gsl_combination_k($c)> - This function returns the number of elements (k) in the combination $c.
76 =item * C<gsl_combination_data($c)> - This function returns a pointer to the array of elements in the combination $c.
78 =item * C<gsl_combination_valid($c)> - This function checks that the combination $c is valid. The k elements should lie in the range 0 to n-1, with each value occurring once at most and in increasing order.
80 =item * C<gsl_combination_next($c)> - This function advances the combination $c to the next combination in lexicographic order and returns $GSL_SUCCESS. If no further combinations are available it returns $GSL_FAILURE and leaves $c unmodified. Starting with the first combination and repeatedly applying this function will iterate through all possible combinations of a given order.
82 =item * C<gsl_combination_prev($c)> - This function steps backwards from the combination $c to the previous combination in lexicographic order, returning $GSL_SUCCESS. If no previous combination is available it returns $GSL_FAILURE and leaves $c unmodified.
