php - All possibilities to put +, - or nothing between numbers to get sum equal to 100

Question

I have to built a function which would list the all possibilities to put +, - or nothing between the numbers ranging from 1 to 9 and print it result.

For example: 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9=45, 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8-9=25, 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+89=117, 1+2+3+45-67+89=73 and so on.

While taking care that every expression must have all the numbers present between 1 to 9 also there sequence should be intact. Below is my code to achieve the result but it does not generate all possible combination.

$characters = ['+', '-', ''];
$opr[0] = $characters[0];
$opr[1] = $characters[0];
$opr[2] = $characters[0];
$opr[3] = $characters[0];
$opr[4] = $characters[0];
$opr[5] = $characters[0];
$opr[6] = $characters[0];
$opr[7] = $characters[0];
for($j=0;$j<=7;$j++) {
    for($l=7;$l>=0;$l--) {
        for($i=0;$i<=2;$i++) {
            if( $l !== $j ) {
                $opr[$l] = $characters[$i];
            }
            $string = "1".$opr[0]."2".$opr[1]."3".$opr[2]."4".$opr[3]."5".$opr[4]."6".$opr[5]."7".$opr[6]."8".$opr[7]."9";
            $sum = eval('return '.$string.';');
            echo $string."="."$sum<br />";
        }
    }

}

Here is the output of my code:

It has generated some combinations but not all possible combinations

Answer 1

You can do it by recursive - Use the following code:

<?php

function addNum($baseStr, $nextNum)
{
 if ($nextNum == 10)
     return array($baseStr);
 $arr1 = addNum($baseStr. '+' . $nextNum, $nextNum+1);
 $arr2 = addNum($baseStr. '-' . $nextNum, $nextNum+1);
 $arr3 = addNum($baseStr. '' . $nextNum, $nextNum+1);
    return array_merge($arr1, $arr2, $arr3);
}

$permutation = addNum('1', 2);
foreach ($permutation as $perm)
{
 $res = eval("return $perm;");
 echo $perm . '=' . $res . "
";
}

?>
