Basis enumeration of large lists












3














I want to combine two list in the following way without using Table or any loop structure.



genList[n_] := Table[RandomInteger[{1, 10}, 4], n]  (* list generating function*)


The two lists that needs to be combined are:-



list1 = genList[3]
list2 = genList[4]


What I want to achieve is as follows:-



Partition[
Flatten[
Table[{list1[[i]], list2[[j]]}, {i, 1
Length[list1]},{j,1 Length[list2]}]
]
,8]


So I simply need to enumerate each of the elements of list 1 combined with all of the elements of list 2.



What would be an efficient way of doing this with large lists?



Let's say with Length[list1] = 100 and Length[list2] = 200.



Also Length[list2] > Length[list1]

            This is a variant of kglr's approach that employs ArrayFlatten instead of mapping Flatten. Notice also that I changed genList so that it produces packed arrays; this is crucial for performance.



            genList[n_] := RandomInteger[{1, 10}, {n, 4}];
            m = 100;
            n = 100;
            list1 = genList[m];
            list2 = genList[n];

            a = Partition[Flatten[Table[{list1[[i]], list2[[j]]}, {i, 1 Length[list1]}, {j, 1 Length[list2]}]], 8]; // RepeatedTiming // First
            b = Flatten /@ Tuples[{list1, list2}]; // RepeatedTiming // First
            c = ArrayReshape[

                          This is a variant of kglr's approach that employs ArrayFlatten instead of mapping Flatten. Notice also that I changed genList so that it produces packed arrays; this is crucial for performance.
