Answer 3

Answer 4

got the solution..and still no posts here..
anyways here is my final code

Answer 5

if you use dpaste.com (or something similar) to post your code, it makes it easier for everyone to look at it.

just curious, why did you limit it to one combination of packs by putting ' and order== True' in line 19 ?

Answer 6

well ..while the number of packs is high enough there are much more combinations available...so it makes the execution pretty slow...so i thought just one combination would be enough and the main reason really is it was at first a challenge for me to limit it to one combination..so i just did..
btw here is the code again in dpaste

Answer 7

cool, thnx

Answer 8

btw the execution is still slow ...after it produces the first combination...it just loops around..and then prints "have a nice day..blah blah blah.."
so anything to stop the looping after first combination?

Answer 9

http://docs.python.org/tutorial/controlflow.html#break-and-continue-statements-and-else-clauses-on-loops
the break statement 'breaks-out-of' loops.

Answer 10

well ..i tried 3 breaks to jump out of 3 for loops...but with unexpected results :(..
still trying

Answer 11

add another if statement inside the for loops. if order: (body) else: break. Another 'door feather' statement lol because it doesn't seem to read the while test at the start.

In fact get rid of that while statement.

Answer 12

well here is the blazing fast version now

the while is still there..because i am too lazy to rearrange the fors again :p

Answer 13
