Hi
I'm having a hard time getting started to layout code for this problem.
I have a fixed amount of random numbers, in this case 8 numbers. R[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 };
That are going to be placed in 3 sets of numbers, with the only constraint that each set contain minimum one value, and each value can only be used once.
For example:
R1[] = { 1, 4 }
R2[] = { 2, 8, 5, 6 }
R3[] = { 7, 4 }
I need to loop through all possible combinations of a set R1, R2, R3. Order is not important, so if the above example happened, I don't need
R1[] = { 4, 1 }
R2[] = { 2, 8, 5, 6 }
R3[] = { 7, 4 }
NOR
R1[] = { 2, 8, 5, 6 }
R2[] = { 7, 4 }
R3[] = { 1, 4 }
What is a good method?
