hello all this is a homework in math i dont need to program it but i would like to :) so like any other time pleas dont just give a answer tutorials or a explanation. i dont like to use script something i dont understand :)
thanks basically the problem is to find a bunch of ways to put 1,2,3,4,5 into different math problems to that equal 1-25, i haven't spent to much time thinking about how to do this but i cant think of a way to do it it without writing making the program rather long here is the page from the book for the rules i will be working on this for the next week or so thanks for any help :) . you may use any of the four basic arithmetic operations- addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (according to the order of operations rules). for example, 2+1x3-4 is a 1-2-3-4 expression for the number 1. . you may use exponents. for example, 2² - 4 - 1 is a 1234 expression for the number 3 . you may use radicals for EX: √4x2+1 is equal to 3 so 3+√4x2+1 is a 1234 expression for 6 . you may use factorials for EX: 4! means 4x3x2x1 so 3+4!+1-2 is a 1234 expression for the number 26 . you may juxtapose two or more digits (that is put them next to each other) to form a number such as 12. for example 43-12 is a 1234 expression for 31 . you may use parentheses and brackets to change the meaning of a expression for example according to the rules of order of operations 1 +4x3² is a 1234 expression for 37. you can add parentheses and brackets to get [(1+4)x3]² which is a 1234 expression for 225 . must use 1,2,3,4 exactly once thanks for the help ill post if i find anything _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
