Ok, this is really irritating me. I'm sure there are different ways of
doing this - I'm interested in the algo, not the practical solution,
I'm more trying to play with iterators and recursion. I want to create
a program that generates every possible combination of a set of a n
dice, with s sides.
so I started with an iterator
class die(object):
def __init__(self,sides):
self.sides = range(1,sides+1)
def __iter__(self):
return self
def next(self):
self.sides = self.sides[1:] + [self.sides[0]]
return self.sides[-1]
now my thought was to create a recursive function to iterate through
all the dice combinations. Unfortunately... I'm coming up with a dead
end. I've tried working it out with different version of the die, ie
one that doesn't loop infinitely, but instead takes a starting
position. A vaiety of things, and yet I can't find a nice recursive
function that falls out of the die class.
Any ideas? or better terms to google? cuz I've tried.
Thanks
