Question

What do you think about this code for problem 2?

Answer 1

nugget_pacs=(input("Package Size 1 "),input("Package Size 2 "),input("Package Size 3 ")) # tuople contains nugget package sizes
tracker=[] # list which will hold possible combinations
not_tracker=[] # list to hold combinations not possible
for n in range(1,150): # range of numbers to consider as candidates
can_buy=0

for a in range(0,(n/nugget_pacs[0])+1):
for b in range(0,(n/nugget_pacs[1])+1):
for c in range(0,(n/nugget_pacs[2])+1):
if nugget_pacs[0]*a+nugget_pacs[1]*b+nugget_pacs[2]*c ==n:
can_buy=1
tracker.append(n) # adds the possible combo to list
if tracker.count(n)>1: # if statement to remove repeats
tracker.remove(n)

if can_buy==0:
not_tracker.append(n) # adds value of n not possible to list


print 'Possible Combinations are' ,tracker
print 'These Combinations are not possible' , not_tracker

Answer 2

does it run? I do not get where you are taking nugget_pacs from?

Answer 3

woops mom

Answer 4

looks alright...if it runs an spits out good results it should be fine

### template of code for Problem 4 of Problem Set 2, Fall 2008
###

bestSoFar = 0 # variable that keeps track of largest number
# of McNuggets that cannot be bought in exact quantity
pack = (6,9,20) # variable that contains package sizes
lim=55
lima=lim/6
limb=lim/9
limc=lim/20
solution=False
list=[]

for n in range(1, lim+1): # only search for solutions up to size 150
## complete code here to find largest size that cannot be bought
## when done, your answer should be bound to bestSoFar
solution=False
for a in range(lima+1):
for b in range(limb+1):
for c in range(limc+1):
trialn=pack[0]*a+pack[1]*b+pack[2]*c
if trialn==n:
solution=True
break
if solution:
break
if solution:
break
if solution:
savenws=n
list.append(n)
print n, "has a solution, being", a, b, c
if len(list)==6:
break
else:
print n, "does not have a solution"
saven=n
list=[]
print saven, "largest without solution, given package size", pack

But I already incorporated that sequence of six from the next assignment...but apart from that it is similar in logic...

Answer 6

also I did not save all possible combos...I took the first best and left

Answer 7

nugget_pacs is a tuople containing the size of the different packages which is taken in as input from the user. It then callc the specific package size by calling its index
