Let's says I have an array that consists of string like
array = "C-F-A-M"
Instead of common permutation's formulas like
**n! / (n-r)**
I want the result of array permutation is like this
C-M
F-M
A-M
C-A-M
C-F-M
A-F-M
My questions is, is there a formulas to create a permutation like that? In vb.net, is there a special method that can create a permutation?
I don't ask for a codes or something, I'm just asking about formulas.

I want to be able to generate a string that contains letters and numbers in Raku. I can't find a module that works.
I want to be able to generate something like this:
w6sj7d2j2
say ("a".."z","A".."Z",0..9).flat.roll(8).join; # M9lldSFC
("a".."z","A".."Z",0..9) specifies the list of characters that you want to occur in your random string.
.flat makes sure the ranges will be flattened to their elements
.roll(8) selects a random element from the list 8 times.
.join concatenates the selected elements from the list into a single string
If I have a text string to be vectorized, how should I handle numbers inside it? Or if I feed a Neural Network with numbers and words, how can I keep the numbers as numbers?
I am planning on making a dictionary of all my words (as suggested here). In this case all strings will become arrays of numbers. How should I handle characters that are numbers? how to output a vector that does not mix the word index with the number character?
Does converting numbers to strings weakens the information i feed the network?
Expanding your discussion with #user1735003 - Lets consider both ways of representing numbers:
Treating it as string and considering it as another word and assign an ID to it when forming a dictionary. Or
Converting the numbers to actual words : '1' becomes 'one', '2' as 'two' and so on.
Does the second one change the context in anyway?. To verify it we can find similarity of two representations using word2vec. The scores will be high if they have similar context.
For example,
1 and one have a similarity score of 0.17, 2 and two have a similarity score of 0.23. They seem to suggest that the context of how they are used is totally different.
By treating the numbers as another word, you are not changing the
context but by doing any other transformation on those numbers, you
can't guarantee its for better. So, its better to leave it untouched and treat it as another word.
Note: Both word-2-vec and glove were trained by treating the numbers as strings (case 1).
The link you provide suggests that everything resulting from a .split(' ') is indexed -- words, but also numbers, possibly smileys, aso. (I would still take care of punctuation marks). Unless you have more prior knowledge about your data or your problem you could start with that.
EDIT
Example literally using your string and their code:
corpus = {'my car number 3'}
dictionary = {}
i = 1
for tweet in corpus:
for word in tweet.split(" "):
if word not in dictionary: dictionary[word] = i
i += 1
print(dictionary)
# {'my': 1, '3': 4, 'car': 2, 'number': 3}

Before they use an <unknown> tag they try to replace alphanumeric symbol combination with common pattern names tags, such as:
FourDigits (good for years)
I've tried to implement it and it gave great results.
I apologize if this has been asked before (I couldn't find anything).
I'm an extreme noob in Livecode, and I want to know if there is a way of programming a button to create many new, unique variables and assign a value to them. I apologize if this is a dumb question.
Usually you use an array for that. An array is basically a list of things, where each thing is associated with an "index". An index can be any word, so you can use an array like a dictionary, where you'd e.g. have French words as the index, and English words as the value, like:
put "cow" into myDictionary["vache"]
But you can also just use numbers as the keys and make them a numbered list:
put "cow" into allMyAnimals[1]
put "duck" into allMyAnimals[2]
In end effect, you create one variable and put several things in it. For example if you had a loop that calculated something (in this example a number +100) and you wanted to have variables containing all those numbers, but named with 100 less, you'd do something like:
repeat with x = 1 to 250
put x +100 into twoHundredFiftyNumbersFrom101[x]
end repeat
And to read the first one:
answer "the first number is" && twoHundredFiftyNumbersFrom101[1]
Or all of them:
repeat with x = 1 to 250
answer twoHundredFiftyNumbersFrom101[x]
end repeat
Or whatever. You could also use 'do' to build the lines of code as a string, but then you have to make sure your variable names are generated in a fashion that makes them valid identifiers (e.g. have no spaces in them, no special characters). An array key can be any valid string, and the compiler can optimize them, and you can treat them as a whole and pass them between handlers.
Or you can do this "in the clear" with a "do" construction:
on mouseUp
repeat with y = 1 to 10
get random(100)
do "put it into onTheFlyVariable" & y
end repeat
end mouseUp
Step through this handler and watch the variables assemble themselves.
I know how to search a String in a text file, but I don't know how to make the algorithm for the combinations of the random letters. For instance the letters will be "tackel" and the algorithm should check all the combinations, and if they check correct it would appear : cat , tackle , let etc. My thought was to make the combinations like this : 012345, 102345, 120345, etc. since the textfield is an array, but I don't know how. Any help would be appreciated.
i have a string that looks like this
"apples,fish,oranges,bananas,fish"
i want to be able to sort this list and get only the uniques. how do i do it in vb.net? please provide code
A lot of your questions are quite basic, so rather than providing the code I'm going to provide the thought process and let you learn from implementing it.
Firstly, you have a string that contains multiple items separated by commas, so you're going to need to split the string at the commas to get a list. You can use String.Split for that.
You can then use some of the extension methods for IEnumerable<T> to filter and order the list. The ones to look at are Enumerable.Distinct and Enumerable.OrderBy. You can either write these as normal methods, or use Linq syntax.
If you need to get it back into a comma-separated string, then you'll need to re-join the strings using the String.Join method. Note that this needs an array so Enumerable.ToArray will be useful in conjunction.
You can do it using LINQ, like this:
Dim input = "apples,fish,oranges,bananas,fish"
Dim strings = input.Split(","c).Distinct().OrderBy(Function(s) s)
I'm not a VB.NET programmer, but I can give you a suggestion:
Split the string into an array
Create a second array
Cycle through the first array, adding any value that is not in the second.
Upon completion, your second array will have only unique values.
