stereochemistry - Is there a mathematical generalization for the number of isomers (structural and configurational) of a given compound?


The original question was:



How do I find the number of structural and configurational isomers of a given compound? is there any formula?



For a specific example, how would I find the number of structural and configurational isomers of a bromo compound $\ce{C5H9Br}$ formed by addition of $\ce{HBr}$ to 2-pentyne
