4=10's Solution Generator

by Cheewy

Version

New v1.0.4 Release :

• Addition of comments :)
• Addition of an example.py file to test all the functionnalities
• Removal of TONS of useless code (more code deleted than comments added O_O)
• Optimization of the calcul process

Description :

This tiny program in Python allows you to quickly and simply calculate every possible solutions to the famous 4=10 game.
I had a lot of fun developping it, I hope you will enjoy it.

Note : The code has comments, but if you want further explanations, don't hesitate to email me.

❗️ DISCLAIMER BEFORE USING IT ❗️

Use this program sparingly, or only when you are REALLY stuck and you have no more daily solution left.
Using this program too much will RUIN your entire game experience, and will be VERY insulting for the game developper.
I am NOT responsible for any bad game experience.

Installation :

1. Use pip to install the package

For Unix/macOS :

python3 -m pip install fourequalsten_hint

For Windows :

py -m pip install fourequalsten_hint

2. Import the package in your program

Code to write down in your file before using the commands of the package :

from fourequalsten_hint import feth

Utilisation Guide :

If you just want the answers :

1. Create a python file anywhere on your computer (ex: test.py)
2. In this file, write down the following code :

from fourequalsten_hint import feth
feth.fancy_solve()

3. Execute the program and follow the instructions in the terminal
   
   

If you want to use the functions in your program :

feth.solve(input_nb,input_op,all_solutions)

Note : Documentation of the functions are right underneath

If you want to test before using it :

You can download the example.py file and look at the examples, or read it directly down here ;)

from fourequalsten_hint import feth

foo1 = feth.solve("8556","+",0)
# foo1 is a string containing the first possible solution (and in general the simplest one)
# Here, foo1 = "8*5-5*6"

foo2 = feth.sovle("6031","+",1)
# foo2 is a list containing every possible solution for this proble
# Here, foo2 = ["6-(0-3-1)", "6-(0-1-3)", "3-(0-1-6)", "3-(0-6-1)", "1-(0-3-6)", "1-(0-6-3)"]

foo3 = feth.solve("8556","-",0)
# foo3 is an empty list, because there is no solution to this problem
# Here, foo3 = []

feth.fancy_solve()
# feth.fancy_solve() will guide the user with prints and inputs, but the concept remains the same
# 1. Ask for 4 digits
# 2. Ask for (potential) banned operators
# 3. Display the first solution, the number of possible solution and propose to display every solution
# 4. Propose to re-execute the program

Documentation

• feth.solve(input_nb,input_op,all_solutions)
  
  The solve() function takes 3 parameters :

  • input_nb (str) : String made of 4 digits (the ones in the enigma)
    Ex : "1234"
    
    
  • input_op (str) : String made of the banned operators
    Working chars :
    • '+' for plus
    • '-' for minus
    • '*' for multiplication
    • '/' for division
    • Empty string for none : ""
      Ex : "+", "-+", ""
      
      
  • all_solutions (int) : 0 or 1 depending of the informations you want in return
    
    • 0 : Returns one possible solution in the form of a string
      Ex : "(1+2+3)+4"
      
    • 1 : Returns every possible solutions in the form of a list of strings
      Ex : ["(1+2+3)+4", ... , "4+3+2+1"]

  Note : If there's no result, the function will return an empty list
  
  

• feth.fancy_solve()
  
  The fancy_solve() function takes no parameters, and will return nothing.
  It is made of multiple affordable inputs, prints and os.clear to give to the user a casual and simple use of the program.
  
  Steps :

  1. Ask for 4 digits
  2. Ask for (potential) banned operators
  3. Display the first solution, the number of possible solution and propose to display every solution
  4. Propose to re-execute the program
