Hi,
I'm new to Python and am very impressed with it. Unfortunately I am not yet
at the stage where I can convert the GFA Basic code below into Python. Can
anyone help please? Any response appreciated and will certainly help me to
understand more about Python. BTW This is not a challenge to Python, it's
more like a challenge from a pal to me.
Thanks Ed
-------------------------- GFA Basic
Code ----------------------------------
I made a speed test with the following
program. It writes all 8 million combinations of
6 of 45 into a field R() and gives each combination
a line number, starting from 1 to 8145060 and then
it prints the last line to show that all lines are filled.
Option Base 1 means, that the first index starts with
1 and not with 0.
Print "starting time ";
Print Time$
Global a As Int = 0
Global b As Int = 0
Global c As Int = 0
Global d As Int = 0
Global e As Int = 0
Global f As Int = 0
Local i As Int = 0
Dim R(8145060, 7) As Int
Option Base 1
For a = 1 To 40
For b = a + 1 To 41
For c = b + 1 To 42
For d = c + 1 To 43
For e = d + 1 To 44
For f = e + 1 To 45
i = i + 1
R(i, 1) = a
R(i, 2) = b
R(i, 3) = c
R(i, 4) = d
R(i, 5) = e
R(i, 6) = f
R(i, 7) = i
Next f
Next e
Next d
Next c
Next b
Next a
Print "finished time ";
Print Time$
Print "i =" ; i
Print R(i, 7), R(i, 1); R(i, 2); R(i, 3); R(i, 4); R(i, 5); R(i, 6)
The result of this code:
starting time : 10:06:30
finished time: 10:06:41
i = 8145060
8145060 40 41 42 43 44 45
-------------------------- GFA Basic
Code ----------------------------------
Within 11 seconds all 8145060 combinations of 6 of 45
have been written into a table together with a line
identification number at position R(i,7) ,
at a 800 MHz computer with 195 MB memory.
