Hi,

The question arises from some work a colleague of mine is doing in formal methods. They use FORTH as a prototype language so a 'direct recursive algorithm' would be best but they are also testing the use of choice points, so choice (or something similar) is necessary. What would be ideal would be a single tail-recursive function with integrated choice.

Regards

Mark

P.S.: If you really need performance, you should probably use a direct recursive algorithm for the n-ary Cartesian product, without using search/logic programming.

    Hi,

    I have a short script to calculate all possible combinations of a
    list such as [1#2 3 4#5] , the tuples representing a choice
    between two values. Solutions to this would be [1 3 4] [1 3 5] [2
    3 4] [2 3 5] for example.
    The problem translates quite nicely into a constraint based search
    using FD but it set me wondering if their was a more efficient
    approach using choice or dis recursively (ie. without using loops)
    I've had no success as yet trying to find such a solution and
    wondered if anyone had any opinions on this?

    Regards

    Mark
