Number of subsequences of maximum length K containing no repeated elements

Given an array arr[] of N elements and a positive integer K such that K ≤ N. The task is to find the number of subsequences of maximum length K i.e. subsequences of length 0, 1, 2, …, K – 1, K that have all distinct elements.

Examples:  

Input: arr[] = {2, 2, 3, 3, 5}, K = 2 
Output: 14 
All the valid subsequences are {}, {2}, {2}, {3}, {3}, {5}, 
{2, 3}, {2, 3}, {2, 3}, {2, 3}, {2, 5}, {2, 5}, {3, 5} and {3, 5}.

Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 4}, K = 4 
Output: 24 

Approach: 

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Returns number of subsequences
// of maximum length k and
// contains no repeated element
int countSubSeq(int a[], int n, int k)
{
    // Sort the array a[]
    sort(a, a + n);
    vector<int> arr;
 
    // Store the frequencies of all the
    // distinct element in the vector arr
    for (int i = 0; i < n;) {
        int count = 1, x = a[i];
        i++;
        while (i < n && a[i] == x) {
            count++;
            i++;
        }
        arr.push_back(count);
    }
 
    int m = arr.size();
    n = min(m, k);
 
    // count is the number
    // of such subsequences
    int count = 1;
 
    // Create a 2-d array dp[n+1][m+1] to
    // store the intermediate result
    int dp[n + 1][m + 1];
 
    // Initialize the first row to 1
    for (int i = 0; i <= m; i++)
        dp[0][i] = 1;
 
    // Update the dp[][] array based
    // on the recurrence relation
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
        for (int j = m; j >= 0; j--) {
            if (j > m - i)
                dp[i][j] = 0;
            else {
                dp[i][j] = dp[i][j + 1]
                           + arr[j] * dp[i - 1][j + 1];
            }
        }
        count = count + dp[i][0];
    }
 
    // Return the number of subsequences
    return count;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int a[] = { 2, 2, 3, 3, 5 };
    int n = sizeof(a) / sizeof(int);
    int k = 3;

    return 0;
