python列表遍历 空列表,Python：遍历列表

I´ve a mind challenge riddle that i want to resolve using python.

They give 4 numbers (25, 28, 38, 35) and they want us to place the numbers in ...+...-...=... One possible solution is 25+38-35=28. I´ve tried to, making a list from the numbers, iterate them with some loops and an if:

lst=[25, 28, 38, 35]

for z in lst:

for x in lst:

for c in lst:

for v in lst:

if z+x-c==v:

print z,x,c,v

But when a run the for loops they repeat the numbers, (25+25-25=25) and that don´t work. How can i solve it?

解决方案

As Luis' comment hinted, a good approach is

import itertools

for z, x, c, v in itertools.permutations(lst):

if z+x-c==v:

print z,x,c,v

"flat is better than nested", as import this at an interactive Python prompt will remind you:-)
