How to make "zip" work faster?
I have these two finite sets $A$ and $B$ where the size of $A$ is typically much larger than the size of $B$. (typically $|A| is 200-500$ and $|B| is 10-50$) I am trying to enumerate all possible maps from $B$ to $A$ using the following idea - but this turns out to be very slow.
Is there a way to speed this up?
- Without the over all "for i" loop can I access any one of the "k"s? (for every i each $l$ is a list of tuples)
How can I just pick out any one such "k" list without wanting to wait for the whole code to run.
S = [] from itertools import product for i in product(A,repeat = len (B)): k = zip(B,i) S.append(k) show(S)
The number of such maps will be
|A|**|B|
. You're trying to store all200**10
(lower bound) such elements in a single list? That's not practical: you should try to construct an iterator instead of a list.
