itertools in Python (10)

Buy Me a Coffee☕

*Memo:

• My post explains itertools.

permutations() can return the iterator which permutates the elements of iterable one by one to return a tuple of zero or more elements one by one as shown below:

*Memo:

• The 1st argument is iterable(Required-Type:Iterable).
• The 2nd argument is r(Optional-Default:None-Type:int or NoneType):
  • It's the length of the returned tuple.
  • If it's None or not set, the length of iterable is used.
  • It must be 0 <= x.
