PartitionPartCount(n, opts)
n

nonnegint; integer to partition
opts
(optional) equation(s) of the form option = value; specify options for the PartitionPartCount command
compile = truefalse
True means compile the iterator. The default is true.
The PartitionPartCount command returns an iterator that generates all partitions of the integer n in part-count form, in reverse lexicographic order.
A partition of integer n in part-count form is a sequence of integers c1,…,cn such that n=∑k=1nk⁢ck and 0≤ck≤n for k∈1,…,n.
The n parameter is the integer to partition.
The output of the iterator is an array of fixed length n.
Methods
In addition to the common iterator methods, this iterator object has the following methods. The self parameter is the iterator object.
Number(self): return the number of iterations required to step through the iterator, assuming it started at rank one.
