You need a container, then you need to permutate all the set of characters. You can do it character by character or you can put the same function inside for n-1 characters. There is a point in the exercise, just create some code and people here will point you in the more correct direction.

While it is something already done, it tests your creativity and knowledge of the language. It feels great to figure out the problem by yourself.

RE: Bruteforce
It was probably like a year ago.
I was introduced to programming and was taught about iterative statements,conditional statements and jump statements.

I wanted to do a lot of creative things with my limited tools,so i made a paint,a basic encrypter,a word search,a simple chatter bot,a program for a supermarket,a program to rotate a cube,a piano,a gui based calculator,a gui based number system conversion program(for doing my homeworks).
It'd be fair to note that i did this all the while when my fellow peers while still having trouble wrapping their head around iterative statements.


I just wanted to do more cool things and i was running out of ideas,i just thought it'd be fun to like generate a text file with all the words that one can find in the dictionary and i did do it,i just forgot how i did it,or it was a fluke.Argh.I have my program,it's just really uglyly written i can't make sense of my own code,what was i thinking,gawd.

It just makes me happy to generate a huge text file and press cntrl + f and type in my name and find my name in that text file.I used to show my program to my friends and tell them that my program "know" their name and every single name any person could think of,they thought it was wicked cool. Tongue
That's about it,i could care less about cracking someone's password.

I didn't know you were a programmer LP? Is there anyone here who isn't?  Wink

If you can do it by loops, then you should realize that there's a pretty obvious mathematical answer to the question of how many permutations there will be.

I mean, just do up to n=5 on a napkin and you can probably see the relationship I'd bet.

Pro tip: look in a dictionary, and see how they organize words. If only there was some way to organize your processing so that it was that. . . ermmm, organized. Tongue
