Suppose I have a list.
a = list()
And suppose allowed digits as the element are 1,2,3,4,5.
What can I do in order to iterate over all possible values for each element?
For instance, the sequence of the list I want to have would be
[1,1,1,1,1]
[1,1,1,1,2]
[1,1,1,1,3]
....
[5,5,5,5,4]
[5,5,5,5,5]
How can I make it happen?
def counter(n=5, length=5):
for i in xrange(n ** length):
x = []
for j in range(length):
i, r = divmod(i, n)
x.append(r)
yield [k+1 for k in x[::-1]]
