Is the Mathematica solution correct?
(→‎REXX implementation limits: added another variant of REXX version 2. -- ~~~~)
(Is the Mathematica solution correct?)
Line 1:
==Mathematica solution incorrect?==
The task description says combination must be produced one at a time.
The Mathematica solution uses Tuples, which return a list of all permutations at once.
Is this a correct solution?

==REXX implementation limits==
 
Line 6 ⟶ 12:
 
For Regina REXX 3.3,   3.4,   3.5, REXX gives a SYNTAX error:
:::::: Error 12 running "C:\xxxxxx.REX", line 29: [Clause > 1024 characters]
 
For Regina REXX 3.6,   3.7, REXX "crashes" somewhere less than a statement length of 1932,
Line 19 ⟶ 25:
For what's it worth, I believe REXX should raise the SYNTAX condition.
 
[The reason I mention the older versions of Regina REXX is that Regina REXX<br>virtual 3.3memory usesfor lessthose REXX programs which use a ''lot'' of stemmed variables (possibly a
<br>virtual memory for those REXX programs which use a ''lot'' of stemmed variables (possibly a
<br>memory leak), so the use of the older Regina release is forced in lieu of a fix.
 
For PC/REXX and Personal REXX, it depends on what the RXISA ('''SET''' environmental variable).
<br>These two REXXes either give:
:::::: Error 11 on line 29 of c:\xxxxxx.REX" Control stack full
<br>
:::::: Memory full: symbol
:::::: Error 5 on line 29 of C:\xxxxxx.REX: Machine resources exhausted
 
somewhere between 568 and 597 bytes.
 
It should be noted that most people use the maximum for the RXISA &nbsp; (which is 40K).
 
As far as I can tell, R4 and ROO have noRno (real) limitation for the length of an INTERPRET instruction,
<br>and that is probably true of CMS REXX and TSO REXX &nbsp; (it's been too long since I used those
<br>two flavors of REXX).

==another variant of the 2nd REXX version==
This REXX version:
* simplifies many statements
Line 53 ⟶ 58:
* eliminates an extra &nbsp; ''';''' &nbsp; (semicolon) from the INTERPRET clause
* eliminates the need for counting the permutations
<br>If any of these improvements could/would be of use, that's fine. &nbsp; I plan to delete this entry in a couple of weeks. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 04:32, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
