I have a slice of ints that I want to loop through multiple times, but each time I do another loop, I want to exclude the item from the parent loop.
Something like this:
func main() {
as := []int{0, 1, 2, 3}
for i, a := range as {
bs := make([]int, len(as))
copy(bs, as)
bs = append(bs[:i], bs[i+1:]...)
for i, b := range bs {
cs := make([]int, len(bs))
copy(cs, bs)
cs = append(cs[:i], cs[i+1:]...)
for i, c := range cs {
ds := make([]int, len(cs))
copy(ds, cs)
ds = append(ds[:i], ds[i+1:]...)
for _, d := range ds {
fmt.Println(a, b, c, d)
}
}
}
}
}
The output of this code is:
0123
0132
0213
0231
0312
0321
1023
1032
1203
1230
1302
1320
2013
2031
2103
2130
2301
2310
3012
3021
3102
3120
3201
3210
Which is what I wanted. But this code does not look so good. I have to copy the slice multiple times before I remove an item, and then loop through the items on that slice. Is there a better and more dry way for me to achieve what I am doing here? I am going to the same thing for a slice that looks like this: []int{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
I don't think writing each loop like I have done 10 times is a good way of doing things. Any suggestions how I can do this?
