Combinations alphabet?

So catch the wave and join the fun.

I swim rather than surf. Better exercise and not so dangerous.

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 the bash shell:

printf "%s\n" {A..Z}{A..Z}{A..Z}

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

Javascript is also a possibility ..when php is not available on the
server of the webhosting.

I already posted a javascript implementation earlier.

That's why I like the simplicity of BASIC.

I'm not sure of your point. She said she forget how to program, so now she
can get all the 3 letter codes she wants just by clicking on the link. What
could be simpler?

Without installing something ?
If the answer is no -> Your RunBasic solution IS NOT as easy
Javascript is running without installing something on the client and
without installing something on the webserver.
note for Mike: Good work !
