Combinations with X unique numbers in Python [on hold]

I want to find combinations of 12 digits of numbers from 1-225 and then find which of these combinations contain only 6 unique numbers (eg: 123456123456).



Now i’ve managed to find the Itertools library for combinatorics but i can’t seem to figure out how to extract the ones with only 6 unique digits.



Any help would be appericiated.

len(set(str(number))) gives you the number of unique digits the integer variable number has.

  • But then you'd have to loop through 10^12 digits. It's really inefficient. Just generate numbers that will qualify instead.

  • There have formats? I thought they are just decimal numbers.

This comprehension works:



[ int("".join(x)) for x in filter(lambda x: len(set(x)) == 6, itertools.combinations_with_replacement("1234567890", 12))]

  • A question. This here provides the combination for 0 to 9 with 6 unique, but what i want is combinations of numbers from 1-225, as in the numbers being separate values, for example instead of combining 0-9 to be “135790135790” i want it to treat it as “13 5 7 90 13 57 90” as in combine every number from 1-225 (5 numbers each time to form a 12 number set) rather than combine numbers from 0-9 and re-arrange them. I just noticed that i was not clear on that in my question so i apologize and thank you for your comment nonethless, it’s a hard problem i’m asking for.

  • The problem is that you need to provide an euristic to group that numbers, or do you mean any posible subcombination for any number?

  • What i mean is imagine there are boxed numbered from 1-225, i wanted the number of combinations of 5 boxes of them that forms a 12 digit number with 6 unique digits. I’ve been trying to figure it out for days but just can’t seem to do it.
