How to make this loop?

[dimkasmir]

Hello,

I have multiple integer variables and several conditions that they have to meet. How would I make a loop that would go through all the possible values for the variables until they meet my conditions?

Thanks!

are you validating a variable or do you just need to repeat an event until you reach a certain point; if you trying to do the later - use a "for loop".

[dimkasmir]

I don't think a for loop would work because I need the program to go through all possible combinations in multiple variables. For example, I have variables $X $Y and $Z. I know that all of them are less than 9 and $X > $Y $Y > $Z and $X + $Y + $Z = 25. How would I make a loop that tried all the possible combinations of x y and z until they match the conditions?

[phpQuestioner]

what condition are you trying to find?

 

<?php

$x="5";
$y="9";
$z="11";

$addem = $x + $y + $z;

if ($addem == "25")
{
// do something here
}
else {
// do something else
}

?>

 

is this what your looking for?

There are quite a few conditions:

 

(($A + $B + $C) * ($A + $B + $C) == 100 * $X + 10 * $Y + $Z) &&

(($X + $Y + $Z) * ($X + $Y + $Z) != 100 * $A + 10 * $B + $C) &&

((100 * $A + 10 * $B + $C) - ($A + $B + $C) = ($X + $Y + $Z) * ($X + $Y + $Z)) &&

((100 * $X + 10 * $Y + $Z) >= (100 * $A + 10 * $B + $C)) &&

((100 * $X + 10 * $Y + $Z) <= 2 * (100 * $X + 10 * $Y + $Z))

&& ($A => 0) && ($A =< 9

&& ($B => 0) && ($B =< 9

&& ($C => 0) && ($C =< 9

&& ($X => 0) && ($X =< 9

&& ($Y => 0) && ($Y =< 9

&& ($Z => 0) && ($Z =< 9)

 

I want the program to find all 6 variables so that they match these.

[phpQuestioner]

<?php

if (($A => 0) && ($A =< 9))
{

}
else if (($B => 0) && ($B =< 9))
{

}
else if (($C => 0) && ($C =< 9)) 
{

}
else if (($X => 0) && ($X =< 9))
{

}
else if (($Y => 0) && ($Y =< 9))
{

}
else if (($Z => 0) && ($Z =< 9))
{

}
else
{
echo "No Conditions Have Been Meet\n";
}
?>

What I want is for the program to actually find the numbers that make the conditions true, not check if provided values are true.

Thanks.

use a while loop or a do while loop.

can you explain it better? 

[phpQuestioner]

can you explain it better? 

 

yeah - really - I am not understanding either

[teng84]

maybe

for($x = 0;$x>10;$x++){
if (condition == false){
	continue;
}else{
	//stuff here
	break;
}
}

you don't understand but you keep on answering lol

[dimkasmir]

I would like the formula to substite numbers between 0 and 9 for all 6 variables until they match all of hte provided conditions. For example it would first check 0 0 0 0 0 1 then 0 0 0 0 0 2 ... 0 1 1 2 0 0 etc.

[teng84]

serious about that do you know how many combination you can create out of that 6 digit?

[dimkasmir]

I know I know but theoretically how would you make such loop; let's say there were only 2 variables.

[teng84]

$test = true;
while($test == true){
$x = str_split(rand(5, 999999));
//create formula here note you note $x will contain an array that has rondom number on given lenght 
if (result form formaula == true){
	$test = false
	$result= yoursesult;
}else{
       $test = true;
     }
}

 

maybe...

 

where are those var coming from?

[dimkasmir]

But that would only be with one var, how would I have 2 or more?

[phpQuestioner]

you don't understand but you keep on answering lol

 

yeah - I was trying the figure out what they was saying.

[teng84]

while($test == true){
$numbers = array($va1,$var2);
array_rand($numbers);
//create formula here note you note $numbers will contain an array that has rondom number on given lenght 
if (result form formaula == true){
	$test = false
	$result= yoursesult;
}
}

 

maybe ...
