Hi I've looked at the example that smfiles (aka 1668151593 at tencent) provided. It looks to me like smfiles is asking for help with a homework problem. If smfiles tells me I'm wrong, I'll apologise.
By the way, because the number of parts is fixed, and because the order matters, the OP's problem does not involve integer partitions. Off topic. By chance last week I was looking for Python code to generate integer partitions. I found the following particularly helpful. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10035752/elegant-python-code-for-integer-partitioning http://jeromekelleher.net/generating-integer-partitions.html https://arxiv.org/abs/0909.2331 # Generating All Partitions: A Comparison Of Two Encodings The last item shows "the ascending composition generation algorithm is substantially more efficient than its descending composition counterpart". It so happens that for my problem it's ascending generation that I want. with best regards Jonathan
