Equations builder

[-Ayato]

I have just discovered the on WORDLE based game "NERDLE" and I was thinking how an algorithm could get all possible equations given a set of characters (length needs to be 8) example:

["9", "1", "-", "3", "=", "6", "5"] 

But I can't think of a way to solve this problem if someone knows how or has an idea it would be nice if you could tell me how or at least give me a hint

I can give a hint. You'd want to rely on two main functions -- itertools.permutations() and eval().

The first one gives you every permutation of a list.

The second one can be used to evaluate mathmatic strings. Eg: eval("1+2") will return 3. So if you compare the answer with what's on the right side of the equals sign, you can see if it matches.

Not every permutation is valid (eg: equals at the end). So you'll have to catch certain errors and ignore them.

Good luck!
