Oh! Cool. :)


Well then the only proposition I have is adding it to the abstract collection class as iterating over combinations is not specific to a sequenceable collection. Or am I missing something here?

But this already exist, at least for SequenceableCollection, try:

(1 to: 4) combinations: 2 atATimeDo: [:e | Transcript cr; show: e printString]

A new version of Collections was added to project The Inbox:
http://source.squeak.org/inbox/Collections-pre.679.mcz

==================== Summary ====================

Name: Collections-pre.679
Author: pre
Time: 26 February 2016, 4:04:56.205127 pm
UUID: 2ac5821c-d6f5-418c-ab07-ed3c2b9de62c
Ancestors: Collections-eem.678

This is a new iteration method which allows the iteration over asymmetric pairs. I have found this useful in game collision detections or duplicate detections. Alternatively we might want to take a second collection as input and create asymmetric pairs from self and this second collection.
