Befunge
This is loosely based on the C algorithm, although many of the conditions have been combined to minimize branching. There is no option to choose whether the results are displayed or not - unique solutions are always displayed, and non-unique solutions just return the solution count.

Factor
This solution uses the backtrack
vocabulary — Factor's implementation of John McCarthy's ambiguous operator. In short, we define 7 integers that can take up any value within the range that we give it, such as [3,9], and assign them names a-g. We then test whether the four sums from the puzzle are equal, and if applicable, whether a-g are unique. We send this boolean value to must-be-true
and if it's false, then the other possibilities will be explored through the power of continuations.
bag-of
is a combinator (higher-order function) that yields every solution in a collection. If we had written 4-rings
without using bag-of
, it would have returned only the first solution it found.

Fortran
This uses the facility standardised in F90 whereby DO-loops can have text labels attached (not in the usual label area) so that the END DO statement can have the corresponding label, and any CYCLE statements can use it also. Similarly, the subroutine's END statement bears the name of the subroutine. This is just syntactic decoration. Rather more useful is extended syntax for dealing with arrays and especially the function ANY for making multiple tests without having to enumerate them in the code. To gain this convenience, the EQUIVALENCE statement makes variables A, B, C, D, E, F, and G occupy the same storage as INTEGER V(7)
, an array.
One could abandon the use of the named variables in favour of manipulating the array equivalent, and indeed develop code which performs the nested loops via messing with the array, but for simplicity, the individual variables are used. However, tempting though it is to write a systematic sequence of seven nested DO-loops, the variables are not in fact all independent: some are fixed once others are chosen. Just cycling through all the notional possibilities when one only is in fact possible is a bit too much brute-force-and-ignorance, though other problems with other constraints, may encourage such exhaustive stepping. As a result, the code is more tightly bound to the specific features of the problem.
Also standardised in F90 is the $ format code, which specifies that the output line is not to end with the WRITE statement. The problem here is that Fortran does not offer an IF ...FI bracketing construction inside an expression, that would allow something like <lang Fortran>WRITE(...) FIRST,LAST,IF (UNIQUE) THEN "Distinct values only" ELSE "Repeated values allowed" FI // "."</lang> so that the correct alternative will be selected. Further, an array (that would hold those two texts) can't be indexed by a LOGICAL variable, and playing with EQUIVALENCE won't help, because the numerical values revealed thereby for .TRUE. and .FALSE. may not be 1 and 0. And anyway, parameters are not allowed to be accessed via EQUIVALENCE to another variable.
So, a two-part output, and to reduce the blather, two IF-statements. <lang Fortran> SUBROUTINE FOURSHOW(FIRST,LAST,UNIQUE) !The "Four Rings" or "Four Squares" puzzle. Choose values such that A+B = B+C+D = D+E+F = F+G, all being integers in FIRST:LAST...
INTEGER FIRST,LAST !The range of allowed values. LOGICAL UNIQUE !Solutions need not have unique values. INTEGER A,B,C,D,E,F,G !Ah, Diophantus of Alexandria. INTEGER V(7),S,N !Assistants. EQUIVALENCE (V(1),A),(V(2),B),(V(3),C), !Yes, 1 (V(4),D),(V(5),E),(V(6),F),(V(7),G) !We're all individuals. WRITE (6,1) FIRST,LAST !Announce: first part. 1 FORMAT (/,"The Four Rings puzzle, over ",I0," to ",I0,".",$) !$: An addendum follows. IF (UNIQUE) WRITE (6,*) "Distinct values only." !Save on the THEN ... ELSE ... END IF blather. IF (.NOT.UNIQUE) WRITE (6,*) "Repeated values allowed." !Perhaps the compiler will be smarter.
N = 0 !No solutions have been found. BB:DO B = FIRST,LAST !Start chugging through the possibilities. CC:DO C = FIRST,LAST !Brute force and ignorance. IF (UNIQUE .AND. B.EQ.C) CYCLE CC !The first constraint shows up. DD:DO D = FIRST,LAST !Start by forming B, C, and D. IF (UNIQUE .AND. ANY(V(2:3).EQ.D)) CYCLE DD !Ignoring A just for now. S = B + C + D !This is the common sum. A = S - B !The value of A is not free from BCD. IF (A < FIRST .OR. A > LAST) CYCLE DD !And it may not be within bounds. IF (UNIQUE .AND. ANY(V(2:4).EQ.A)) CYCLE DD !Or, if required so, unique. EE:DO E = FIRST,LAST !Righto, A,B,C,D are valid. Try an E. IF (UNIQUE .AND. ANY(V(1:4).EQ.E)) CYCLE EE !Precluded already? F = S - (E + D) !No. So therefore, F is determined. IF (F < FIRST .OR. F > LAST) CYCLE EE !Acceptable? IF (UNIQUE .AND. ANY(V(1:5).EQ.F)) CYCLE EE !And, if required, unique? G = S - F !Yes! So finally, G is determined. IF (G < FIRST .OR. G > LAST) CYCLE EE !Acceptable? IF (UNIQUE .AND. ANY(V(1:6).EQ.G)) CYCLE EE !And, if required, unique? N = N + 1 !Yes! Count a solution set! IF (UNIQUE) WRITE (6,"(7I3)") V !Show its values. END DO EE !Consder another E. END DO DD !Consider another D. END DO CC !Consider another C. END DO BB !Consider another B. WRITE (6,2) N !Announce the count. 2 FORMAT (I9," found.") !Numerous, if no need for distinct values. END SUBROUTINE FOURSHOW !That was fun!
PROGRAM POKE
CALL FOURSHOW(1,7,.TRUE.) CALL FOURSHOW(3,9,.TRUE.) CALL FOURSHOW(0,9,.FALSE.)
END </lang>
Output: not in a neat order because the first variable is not determined first.

One might hope that the ANY function will quit as soon as possible and that it will not be invoked if UNIQUE is false, but the modernisers have rejected reliance on short-circuit evaluation and the "help" is quite general on the workings of the ANY function, as also is modern. Here is a sample of the code produced by the Compaq 6.6a Visual Fortran F90/95 compiler, in its normal "debugging" condition and array bound checking of course active...

By structured search
For a faster solution (under a third of a second, vs over 25 seconds on this system for the brute force approach above), we can nest a series of smaller and more focused searches from the central digit outwards.
Two things to notice:
- If we call the central digit the Queen, then in any solution the Queen plus its left neighbour (left Bishop) must sum to the value of the left Rook (leftmost digit). Symmetrically, the right Rook must be the sum of the Queen and right Bishop.
- The difference between the left Rook and the right Rook must be (minus) the difference between the left Knight (between bishop and rook) and the right Knight.
Nesting four bind operators (>>=), we can then build the set of solutions in the order: queens, left bishops and rooks, right bishops and rooks, knights.
Probably less readable, but already fast, and could be further optimised.

jq
Works with gojq, the Go implementation of jq
Since jq is built on back-tracking and optimizes the tail-recursion involved here, this entry will focus on generic solutiond for problems of this sort. Specifically, the number of boxes is unrestricted.
N boxes with arbitrary overlaps
In this section, an arbitrary pattern of overlaps can be specified as follows.
We will associate the letters "a", "b", ... with the integers 0, 1,... so that each box can be represented as an array of integers; the puzzle configuration can then be characterized by an array of such arrays. For the particular puzzle under consideration, the characteristic array is:
[[0,1], [1,2,3], [3,4,5], [5,6]]
The solution in this subsection is quite efficient for the family of problems based on permutations, but as is shown, can also be used without the permutation constraint. <lang jq># Generate a stream of all the permutations of the input array def permutations:
if length == 0 then [] else range(0;length) as $i | [.[$i]] + (del(.[$i])|permutations) end ;
- Permutations of a ... n inclusive
def permutations(a;n):
[range(a;n+1)] | permutations;
- value of a box
- Input: the table of values
def valueOfBox($box):
[ .[ $box[] ]] | add;
def allEqual($boxes):
. as $values | valueOfBox($boxes[0]) as $sum | all($boxes[1:][]; . as $box | $values | valueOfBox($box) == $sum);
def combinations($m; $n; $size):
[range(0; $size) | [range($m; $n)]] | combinations;
def count(s): reduce s as $x (null; .+1);

N boxes with one overlap between adjacent boxes and no uniqueness constraint
In this subsection, an efficient solution for the N-boxes puzzle in the case of non-uniqueness (i.e. unrestricted choice of values within the specified range) is given. It is assumed, however, that each box (except for the last) has exactly one overlap with its successor.
For consistency with the prior section, the pattern can be specified in the same way, i.e. as a characteristic array, which for the specific problem at hand could be: [[0,1], [1,2,3], [3,4,5], [5,6]].
<lang jq># rings/3 assumes that each box (except for the last) has exactly one overlap with its successor.
- Input: ignored.
- Output: a stream of solutions, i.e. a stream of arrays.
- $boxes is an array of boxes, each box being a flat array.
- $min and $max define the range of permissible values of items in the boxes (inclusive)

def inrange: $min <= . and . <= $max; # The following helper function deals with the case when the global per-box sum ($sum) is known. # Input: an array representing the solution so far, or null. # Output: the input plus the solution corresponding to the first argument. # $this is the sum of the previous items in the first box, or 0. def solve($boxes; $this; $sum): # The following is a helper function for handling the case when: # * $sum is known # * $boxes[0] | length == 1, and # * $boxes|length>1 def lastInBox($boxes; $this): . as $in | ($boxes[1:] | (.[0] |= .[1:])) as $bx # the first entry in the next box must be the same: | ($sum - $this) as $next | select($next | inrange) | (. + [$next]) | solve( $bx; $next; $sum) ;

Tcl
This task is a good opportunity to practice metaprogramming in Tcl. The procedure compile_4rings builds a lambda expression which takes values for {a b c d e f g} as parameters and returns true if those values satisfy the specified expressions ($exprs). This approach lets the bytecode compiler optimise our code.
For the final challenge, we vary the code generation a bit in compile_4rings_hard: instead of a lambda taking parameters, this generates a nested loop that searches exhaustively through the possible values for each variable.

Similar to the other brute-force algorithims, but with a couple of enhancements. A "used" list is maintained to simplify checking of the nested variables overlap.
