Combinations alphabet?

[Michèle]

Hi,

I'am trying to make an HTML programm of all possible combinations in the
Alphabet.
The code exists of 3 letters.
26*26*26 = 17.576 possibilities!
Is there any possibility to have all combinations with a programm? AAA, AAB,
AAC, ....................
Many thanks in advance if somebody could help me out.
Best regards, Michèle

Yes, it is possible to do this with programming languages. HTML is *not* a
programming language. The ML in HTML stand for "markup language."

....
Suppose you made a simple program (say in Basic) to print out all 17
thousand. What do you want to do with this? Are you exploring possible
worlds?

Smile, you're on the candid webcamera! You have been trolled when you
replied to a question like that.

Less than 18 possibilities? Really? Combinatorics seem to have changed since
I last had some affair with her.

Yes, it is possible to do this with programming languages. HTML is
*not* a programming language.

But you failed to notice the absurdity of referring to "the Alphabet" as
something containing 26 letters by someone whose name contains "è". Where in
the sequence of the letters of "the Alphabet" should we expect to find "è"?

A very old case exists of a 3 letter code, we can break it open of course,
but than we can't use it anymore.
And no, there is nothing in it, but it is too beautiful to throw it away,
and I see it as a practice for meself.
I've studied Java, but this is more than 15 years ago, of which I forgot a
lot (nearly all ;-).

I wrote a javascript program to do what you want. Note: In IE it may give
you a warning about the script taking a long time to run. Click on "No" to
let it continue.

Are you REALLY going to print this is and cross off each code as you try
them? It would be easier to x-ray the box to line up the slots. Also, you
could try "safecracker" mothods. I am sure that it is not as secure as
modern safes, and you should be able to feel for at least one of the
letters. That would reduce your codes to 676 instead of 17,576.

Here is the link that generates the combinations:

She want the result, or the program .... not a stuf that shows:
AAA, AAB, AAC,.....ZZY, ZZZ.

The following may be of some interest to you - if you haven't seen it
already: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_26

"Base 26 is a fairly natural way of representing numbers as text using the
26-letter Latin alphabet..."

You should look into this using PHP.
A simple 3 level for/next loop is all you need.

Or you could do it just as easy with BASIC.
Probably fairly easy in javascript.

Is your love affair with Run BASIC over?

He's the only one I know who uses (Run) BASIC to build web sites...

(Pssst ... I'd like to see his nested-three-deep PHP code, wouldn't you?
<g> )

I do not understand your point. What is the "result" she wants? I
understood that she wanted the series AAA, AAB .....

Also, it is javascript, so you can see the program if you use the menu
command:

View / Source

You are true. I had misunderstood the quest

Hardly.
I suggested PHP in this case because all that you need to do for the
output PHP can handle just as well.

While I personally would not build the entire site using Run Basic, I
would use RB to make certain things easier to handle.

As when Flash first came out, very few people used it. At first, as
intended, for banners and such, then later, as entire websites. Unlike
Flash, Run Basic requires no plugins or client side action.

Hi,

I'am trying to make an HTML programm of all possible combinations in the
Alphabet.

Actually I have that on my CV in the "skills" section.

The code exists of 3 letters.
26*26*26 = 17.576 possibilities!
Is there any possibility to have all combinations with a
programm? AAA, AAB, AAC, …
Many thanks in advance if somebody could help me out.

Here is a Python program to do it:

from string import uppercase as u

for i in range(26):
for j in range(26):
for k in range(26):
print '<span class="code">%s</span>' % (u + u[j] + u[k])

[snip]

PHP version may look something like:

<ol>
<?php

$range = range('A', 'Z');
foreach($range as $A)
foreach($range as $B)
foreach($range as $C)
print "<li>$A$B$C</li>\n";

?>
</ol>

Hell, in run basic I can come up with 3 or 4 ways to do it.
html "<ul>"
For a =64 to 90
for b=64 to 90
for c=64 to 90

show$=chr$(a)+chr$(b)+chr$(c)
html "<li>";show$;"</li>"
next c
next b
next a
html "</ul>"

In that "case", take it to a locksmith. Seriously.
If the combination is changeable by the owner, then begin trying
common 3 letter words.
Since this is a lock, you can eliminate combinations like ?xx or xx?.
where x is any letter.
If you knew who the owner was, try the intitials.

If you try it the hard way, it will take ages going through each
possible combination.
