itertools.permutations() in Python - HackerRank Solution

Problem

itertools.permutations(iterable[, r])

This tool returns successive r length permutations of elements in an iterable.

If r is not specified or is None, then r defaults to the length of the iterable, and all possible full length permutations are generated.

Permutations are printed in a lexicographic sorted order. So, if the input iterable is sorted, the permutation tuples will be produced in a sorted order.

Sample Code

>>> from itertools import permutations
>>> print permutations(['1','2','3'])
<itertools.permutations object at 0x02A45210>
>>> 
>>> print list(permutations(['1','2','3']))
[('1', '2', '3'), ('1', '3', '2'), ('2', '1', '3'), ('2', '3', '1'), ('3', '1', '2'), ('3', '2', '1')]
>>> 
>>> print list(permutations(['1','2','3'],2))
[('1', '2'), ('1', '3'), ('2', '1'), ('2', '3'), ('3', '1'), ('3', '2')]
>>>
>>> print list(permutations('abc',3))
[('a', 'b', 'c'), ('a', 'c', 'b'), ('b', 'a', 'c'), ('b', 'c', 'a'), ('c', 'a', 'b'), ('c', 'b', 'a')]


Task

You are given a string S.

Your task is to print all possible permutations of size k of the string in lexicographic sorted order.


Input Format

A single line containing the space separated string S and the integer value k.


Constraints

The string contains only UPPERCASE characters.


Output Format

Print the permutations of the string S on separate lines.


Sample Input

HACK 2


Sample Output

AC
AH
AK
CA
CH
CK
HA
HC
HK
KA
KC
KH


Explanation

All possible size 2 permutations of the string "HACK" are printed in lexicographic sorted order.

from itertools import permutations

s,k = input().split()

words = list(permutations(s,int(k)))
words = sorted(words, reverse=False)
for word in words:
    print(*word,sep='')
