Algorithm (Workflow)

This function, XPpermute, is designed to create permutations of sets. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 5.4. The function is authored by Tim Lueth and is classified under Artificial Intelligence.

Input Parameters

• sc: This is the separator used between elements in the permutations. The default value is an empty string ('').
• lists: These are cell lists of arguments that the function will use to generate permutations.

Output Results

• LL: This is a cell list containing all combinations of the permutations generated by the function.

Function Workflow

1. The function begins by retrieving the separator sc using the helper function getfuncparams. This function extracts the first parameter from varargin, which is a variable-length input argument list.
2. The function then calls permutevarargin with the remaining elements of varargin (i.e., the lists of arguments) to generate permutations.
3. The permutations generated by permutevarargin are then joined using the specified separator sc by calling the join function.
4. The result, LL, is a cell list of all possible combinations of the permutations.

Example Usage

An example call to the function is:

XPpermute(' ', {'ISBIGGER'}, {'DOG', 'CAT', 'BIRD', 'LION', 'ELEPHANT'}, {'DOG', 'CAT', 'BIRD', 'LION', 'ELEPHANT'});

This call will generate permutations of the lists with a space as the separator.
