SEND + MORE = MONEY

Revision as of 19:16, 10 February 2023 by PureFox (talk | contribs) (→‎{{header|Wren}}: As pointed out in Julia example, S can only be 8 or 9.)

Write a program in your language to solve SEND + MORE = MONEY: A Great Puzzle.

SEND + MORE = MONEY is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

Julia

A hoary old task, solved with pencil before electricity was a thing.

Since the M in Money is the result of carry in base 10 of two single digits it is a 1 (we exclude 0 here though that would work, but then MONEY would be spelled ONEY).

In addition, the S plus 1 then needs to result in a carry, so S is 8 or 9, depending on whether there is a carry into that column. Pencil and paper can continue, but from here the computer is likely quicker.

let
    m = 1
    for s in 8:9
        for e in 0:9
            e in [m, s] && continue
            for n in 0:9
                n in [m, s, e] && continue
                for d in 0:9
                    d in [m, s, e, n] && continue
                    for o in 0:9
                        o in [m, s, e, n, d] && continue
                        for r in 0:9
                            r in [m, s, e, n, d, o] && continue
                            for y in 0:9
                                y in [m, s, e, n, d, o] && continue
                                if 1000s + 100e + 10n + d + 1000m + 100o + 10r + e ==
                                   10000m + 1000o + 100n + 10e + y
                                    println("$s$e$n$d + $m$o$r$e == $m$o$n$e$y")
                                end
                            end
                        end
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end
end
Output:

9567 + 1085 == 10652

Clearly M = 1 and S must be 8 or 9. Brute force can be used to solve for the other letters.

var start = System.clock
var sends = []
var ors = []
var m = 1
var digits = (0..9).toList
digits.remove(m)
for (s in 8..9) {
    for (e in digits) {
        if (e == s) continue
        for (n in digits) {
            if (n == s || n == e) continue
            for (d in digits) {
                if (d == s || d == e || d == n) continue
                sends.add([s, e, n, d])
            }
        }
    }
}
for (o in digits) {
    for (r in digits) {
        if (r == o) continue
        ors.add([o, r])
    }
}
System.print("Solution(s):")
for (send in sends) {
    var SEND = 1000 * send[0] + 100 * send[1] + 10 * send[2] + send[3]
    for (or in ors) {
        if (send.contains(or[0]) || send.contains(or[1])) continue
        var sendmore = send + or
        var MORE = 1000 * m + 100 * or[0] + 10 * or[1] + send[1]
        for (y in digits) {
            if (sendmore.contains(y)) continue
            var MONEY = 10000 * m + 1000 * or[0] + 100 * send[2] + 10 * send[1] + y
            if (SEND + MORE == MONEY) {
                System.print("%(SEND) + %(MORE) = %(MONEY)")
            }
        }
