The assignment actually tells us that we need to use a brute force method to solve the puzzles. It vaguely describes an algorithm we can implement to accomplish this; finding unique letters, assigning them all possible values 0-9, checking the value of the words against each other. I'll...

If you've got to dig through old files to figure it out I won't put you through the trouble. I figured out how to use continue and I'm getting the correct answers with much faster computation times, only it is printing out the results twice for some reason. I have enough done at this point...

I changed some things around following some of your advice and now I've got it working in general cases. I was able to calculate the two puzzles I need to (BASE+BALL=GAMES and SEND+MORE=MONEY) using the algorithm I've got. However, it takes a very long time for the solutions to be found...

1. I'm not sure why I had pointers instead of just directly plugging in the values. It's changed now. 2. Since my program has to be more general than just SEND+MORE=MONEY, do you think I should implement some limit to stop the loops once all the unique letters have been assigned numbers? 4...

As far as I can tell that is what I am doing. I must be wrong. Right below I describe the meaning of each line for my "check", below that I have the code combined. Unfortunately, this assignment isn't just the specific case of SEND+MORE=MONEY. It needs to be more general to words with as many...

None of the methods involving nested for loops and hard coding seem to work. I tried it with continue, without continue, using the ! operator, replacing values with pointers, replacing values with variables, etc. -I wrote a code to test if word 1 + word2 = word3 and it works when I define the...

Alright, I just took some time to re-read all the posts in more detail. I was at school and trying to skim read, which was a poor choice. I apologize to those whose posts I responded to with nonsense. I used "continue" like Michael used above for my for loops, it worked well when shrinking the...

@Uart That makes for a much shorter and far clearer code than what I had. You really helped me out. Thank you! With that coded I've now got the task of finding unique solutions...I may be back for a little more help. Thank you again! Edit: @ Michael Redei Thank you for the insight. I...

Thank you for putting into words what I couldn't seem to. That is exactly my problem.

1.Before I start it is important to say that I only have two months programming experience so my capabilities are limited. I have been working on a C# code to solve general case verbal arithmetic problems, but I ran into some trouble with one part of the algorithm. If you are not familiar with...

Thank you for your help. -Ben

I've been trying to figure out where my mistake lies in the first solution. Some help would be appreciated. I did notice I got the same solution twice, so I assume I just calculated dr/dt twice and I need to use a different equation for dh/dt? Is dh/dt=(3/4)*dr/dt? 1. Sand falls from a...
