I did a brute force approach instead of recursion this time:
I iterated through all possible series of 5 numbers from 0 - 9 (with repetition), and counted only the relevant ones (meaning the ones where the numbers added up to the given number z, where there were no zeros that weren’t at the beginning).
I used an integer (meaning its digits) as each permutation, so that I could iterate through all the permutations.
my code
def checkPermutation(n, sum_of_digits = None, max_exp_of_10 = 4):
# get sum of digits of n, check if equals sum_of_digits
# can have leading 0s, but no 0s after a non-zero
previous_was_nonzero = False
total = 0 # will store sum of digits so far
checker = 10 ** max_exp_of_10
while checker >= 1:
digit = n // checker
if digit == 0:
if previous_was_nonzero:
# if zero comes after nonzero, return False
return False
else:
total += (digit % 10)
previous_was_nonzero = True
n = n % checker
checker = checker // 10
if sum_of_digits is None:
return total
return (total == sum_of_digits)
def makeNumber(z):
if (z < 1) or (z > 45):
return 0
count = 0
for n in range(1, 100000):
if checkPermutation(n, z):
count += 1
return count
print(makeNumber(21))
def makeNumber(z):
lst = [[]] # temp lst to create tuple in, inner list.
cnt = 0 # store the count of permitations
for idx in range(5): # Limit to 5 digit in tuple
lst = [tuple(i,) + (x,) for i in lst for x in range(1, z+1) if x <= 9]
# create permutations in a lst
for i in lst: # loop trough list and put a condition to get the count of the sum that equals z
if sum(i) == z:
cnt += 1
return cnt
print(makeNumber(4))
def D(z, n):
if(z == 0):
return 1
elif(z < 0 or n == 0):
return 0
else:
total = 0
for i in range(1,10):
total += D(z-i, n-1)
return total
def makeNumber(z):
# Write your code here
if (z == 0):
return 0
return D(z, 5)
for i in range(45):
print(i, makeNumber(i))
from itertools import product
def makeNumber(z):
#defining initial array, digit array and sorting array
a = []
l = range(1, 10)
s = []
#getting all possible permutations
for i in range(1, 6):
s.append(product(l, repeat=i))
#searching for elements in initial array with sum equal to z
for element in s:
for i in element:
if sum(i) == z:
a.append(i)
#returning number of elements found
return len(a)
print(makeNumber(4))
Importing product function from itertools (to not find the permutations manually).
Initializing our permutations counter on 0 and creating a list for saving them.
Iterating throught 1 to 5 (amount of possible numbers in our permutations).
Saving on our list “products” the result of all the possible permutations after calling the function products (imported).
Checking if any of these permutations match our parameter z. In this case, we update the counter.
from itertools import product
def makeNumber(z):
count = 0
products = list()
for it in range(1,6):
products = product(range(1,10), repeat=it)
for perm in products:
if sum(perm) == z:
count += 1
return count
print(makeNumber(23))
import itertools
def makeNumber(z):
return len([perm for _ in range(1, 5 + 1) for perm in itertools.product(range(1, 10), repeat=_) if sum(perm) == z])
print(makeNumber(45))
