I am trying to solve project euler problem 18 with brute force(I will move on to a better solution after I have done that for problem 67). http://projecteuler.net/index.php?section=problems&id=18
However I can't get the recursive function right. I always have to use return right? Unless I am printing? So I canät stack to diffferent recursive calls after each other like so: recur_left(t, p) recur_right(t,p+1) Some stuff I have tried: def recur(tree, pos): if not tree: return [] else: return [[tree[0][pos]] + recur(tree[1:], pos)] + \ [[tree[0][pos]] + recur(tree[1:], pos+1)] >>> recur([[1],[2,3],[4,5,6]],0) [[1, [2, [4], [4]], [2, [5], [5]]], [1, [3, [5], [5]], [3, [6], [6]]]] SO it is kind of working, just not exactly like I want. A more easily parseable/readable result would be nice, I want to be able to sum() over each path preferrably. So the result should be: [[1,2,4],[1,2,5],[1,3,5],[1,3,6]] I know conceptually what has to be done. Base case: empty tree, return [] Else: recur to the left and to the right. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
