rep_ncr_combinations

Arguments:

• number_of_items>0,choices>0,_axis={x,y,z}    or
• choices>0, number_of_items>0,_axis={x,y,z}

Description:

Generates all combinations that fits nCr. The algorithm used for this is based on Algorithm 515 (Buckles and Lybanon 1977) which allows index-based generation of combinations.

 
Code has been adapted from sleeepjack's Python 2 code executing Algorithm 515 only in case when non-zero index is used to find combination at a point - https://github.com/sleeepyjack/alg515/blob/master/python/alg515.py
 
Note: If $2 is greater than $1, then $2 is number of items and $1 is choices. Only positive integer numbers are accepted!
Note #2: If _axis is not x,y,or z, then returns quantity only.

Default values:

_axis=x
