  • [GeeksForGeeks] Friends Pairing Problem

    Given n friends, each one can remain single or can be paired up with some other friend. Each friend can be paired only once. Find out the total number of ways in which friends can remain single or can be paired up.

    Examples:

    Input  : n = 3
    Output : 4
    Explanation
    {1}, {2}, {3} : all single
    {1}, {2,3} : 2 and 3 paired but 1 is single.
    {1,2}, {3} : 1 and 2 are paired but 3 is single.
    {1,3}, {2} : 1 and 3 are paired but 2 is single.
    Note that {1,2} and {2,1} are considered same.

     The problem itself is pretty straightforward with the following optimal substructure:

    f(n) = f(n - 1) + (n - 1) * f(n - 2);

    To make it more challenging, write a method that generates all possible pairing ways and save them in a list.

    This is a dfs + backtracking question.

    Provided the optimal substructure, we know that for a given person, either he is single or he pairs with one other person.

    If he is single, we simply reduce the problem to be one fewer person smaller;

    If he is paired with another person, we pick one from all the available persons pool.

    To avoid duplicated answers, we only pick person with a bigger number as the pair of the current person.   

    We also need a global flag for each person to indicate if a person has been picked or not. This is needed because when picking 

    a pair, there will be persons left in between these 2 picked persons and these left persons have not been picked yet. The remaining 

    subproblem should include these unpicked persons. By only advancing the current index does not address this issue.
