Need programming help

I would be more than happy to help you. I love to program, and I know a lot about C++. I dont think there are any built in functions that will do that for you, but there are some that can help you do this. How long can the string be?

Say a limit of 25 characters?

I know that that would be practically impossible - it works out to 25! combinations - but I'm taking that as the theoretical maximum I'd want.

We can use each letter only the number of times it appeared in the original string. If that is the case, then the number of combinations reduces to 25! (= 25x24x23x22....x1), or even less. If we are allowed to use the same element an arbitrary number of times, then it becomes 25^25.

The problem solved in ML; this solution is nicer.

This is programmed using a very functionel strategy, somewhat different from the PHP one used above. It seemed so much nicer that I tried translating it to php afterwards, but I ended up with a PHP program larger and uglier than the PHP program above.

Code:

Code:

val chars = ["a", "b", "c"];  fun gen (a::arest) bs       res = (gen (arest@bs) [] (a::res))@(gen arest (a::bs) res)   | gen []       []       res = [res]   | gen []       bs       res = [];  gen     chars    []       [];

Damn the incorrect terminology!

It's hard to argue against the awesome efficiency of functional programming in cases like this...
