Python: Permutations of specified elements, drawn from specified values

Python Itertools: Exercise-14 with Solution

Write a Python program generate permutations of specified elements, drawn from specified values.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

from itertools import product 

def permutations_colors(inp, n):
    for x in product(inp, repeat=n):
        c = ''.join(x)
        print(c,end=', ')

str1 ="Red"
print("Original String: ",str1)
print("Permutations of specified elements, drawn from specified values:")
n=1
print("\nn = 1")
permutations_colors(str1,n)
n=2
print("\nn = 2")
permutations_colors(str1,n)
n=3
print("\nn = 3")
permutations_colors(str1,n)

lst1 = ["Red","Green","Black"]
print("\n\nOriginal list: ",lst1)
print("Permutations of specified elements, drawn from specified values:")
n=1
print("\nn = 1")
permutations_colors(lst1,n)
n=2
print("\nn = 2")
permutations_colors(lst1,n)
n=3
print("\nn = 3")
permutations_colors(lst1,n)

Sample Output:

Original String:  Red
Permutations of specified elements, drawn from specified values:

n = 1
R, e, d, 
n = 2
RR, Re, Rd, eR, ee, ed, dR, de, dd, 
n = 3
RRR, RRe, RRd, ReR, Ree, Red, RdR, Rde, Rdd, eRR, eRe, eRd, eeR, eee, eed, edR, ede, edd, dRR, dRe, dRd, deR, dee, ded, ddR, dde, ddd, 

Original list:  ['Red', 'Green', 'Black']
Permutations of specified elements, drawn from specified values:

n = 1
Red, Green, Black, 
n = 2
RedRed, RedGreen, RedBlack, GreenRed, GreenGreen, GreenBlack, BlackRed, BlackGreen, BlackBlack, 
n = 3
