Madruga,

Finding, something that has only one solution means that I have to rerun the test 5 times because I set the brackets permutations as the outside loop & I then set the priority order for the permutations. I would need to do 1 run with each bracket type at the end of the priority order. Painful - I would rather not since each run takes 2 hours. None of my previous runs are helpful since they all contained the no bracket case as the number 1 priority which is clearly wrong.

In my posted sample output above, I believe all outputs of the form "(a b) c d" & "(a b)(c d)" are unique solutions to that form. Since only 4 cases of "a (b c d)" were found they are also probably unique. As to the other cases??

Well... I give up. (BTW: I haven't oficially "given up" on this contest, but I take this opportunity to do so...)

I "merged" Jack Lothian's full suite set into my test program. You now have two options:
  • $TestSuite = 1 -> runs 50 random tests
  • $TestSuite = 2 -> runs Jack Lothian's test suite
(If you don't specify, it will run both...) Also, it logs into "game24.log".

This is where the "I give up" comes in!! I think this "should" work, but I'm getting a very weird error. Please someone grab this one (it comes pre-packaged with Howards function) and fix it as I'm going to bed. {edit} Howard has already fixed this and I updated the code here to incorporate his fixes. {/edit}

Also, if I have enough spare time later today during my lunch hour, I'll try to find out exactly what are the parenthesis combos that are needed.

BTW: I could post here the 457.176 bytes file where I stored all possible solutions, should anyone be interested in parsing through it instead of re-calculating. It's 25.295 lines of stuff like this:
code:
7889 : 8-(7-9)*8
7889 : 8-8*(7-9)

(It can be turned into an 89.331 bytes zip file)

{edit} Forgot to post the code... [Smile] {/edit}
{edit} Pasted fixed code. Thks Howard! {/edit}

I believe the 50 random sets will just be simple rotation of the sets I gave. If your program is following jens specs & generating all the 24 permutations of the incoming 4 numbers then the 50 random sets are irrelevant. In theory, the 715 sets I gave cover the complete universe of possibilities.

Why 715? Where did you get that number from, that is, how did you arrive at that number?

(Just curious:))

{edit} Also, it's in there just to be a "quick" check... 715 checks can take some time to go through... {/edit}

All other sets are rotations of these basic sets. They came from the basic 4 "For" statements that I mentioned earlier in the discussion in a comment to Richard. I suspect it's the ratio of 2 factorials.

I just had an interesting thought. If someone can reduce the number of operators or the number of number rotations & still pass the above test then it should still meet Jens criteria. It will be just like Howard dropping 3 bracket types & still getting the correct solution.

That will be left as an exercise to the reader(s)... [Smile]

Good night all. C U Later.

Missing right quote:
code:
  $Lix = DisplayText( "Running Test Suite #1: twenty random combos )  

{edit} I double pasted the script and cause myself some grief.

Bad Var: $LOGGINGGILE = "game24.log" should be $LOGGINGFILE = "game24.log"

It is now running:

Thanks!

That's one of the disadvantages of having a free form language: you don't keep errors within a couple of lines! They show up in the most "weird" places tons of lines after...

I'll incorporate the changes into the posted script.

Richard, I tried to use your udfAnagram() to replace code in Game24() but couldn't get to a point of reducing code.
