Reply to: A Simple Programming Puzzle Seen Through Three Different Lenses

Good article, thanks. The concept is to pick all two-state combinatations, and there is an easy, fast, accurate model for this. It is called "combinations without repetitions" and can be implemented like this in pseudocode: while state1 = states.shift for state2 in states # your code here... no need to skip cases end end
