combnPrim: Generate All Combinations of n Elements Taken m at a Time

Description

Generate all combinations of the elements of x taken m at a time. If x is a positive integer, returns all combinations of the elements of seq(x) taken m at a time.

Usage

combnPrim(x, m, simplify = TRUE)

Arguments

x

vector source for combinations, or integer n for x <- seq(n).

m

number of elements to choose.

simplify

logical indicating if the result should be simplified to a matrix; if FALSE, the function returns a list.

Value

• A matrix or a list.
