A function in my program is supposed to output all of the possible number sequences for the numbers 0-3. So, 4*4*4*4 = 1024 possible sequences. I'm not looking for someone to hand me the code just a general idea for how to start. Thanks in advance for any help
Recursion is a way.
Write a function that prints all combinations of length n, using f(n-1).
4^4 = 256Originally Posted by longhorn

For all combinations of four numbers he'll need four for loops for sure.
Or just one.

Sorry for the lack of detail in my first post. This function will be called and it will return either a 0, 1, 2 or 3. It needs to return all possible 5 number sequences 1 digit at a time (so 4x4x4x4x4 = 1024). For example: it is called and returns a 1, then called again and returns a 0, then 0, then, 0 and 0. That would be 1 of the possible sequences.
What's the fifth number in a range of zero to three?
As to lack of detail, you still haven't actually shown us your attempt or that you even have an attempt. If you are just wondering what it is called so you can research it on your own, look up Permutations. Oh wait, I just did that for you.

I didn't know that there couldn't be 5 number sequences made of #'s 0-3? What about 10013 or 12312 or 00023? And no, I haven't made an attempt yet that is why I posted here looking for some guidance to get me started.
That's my whole point, there isn't one. I was trying to decide why you thought you would have five numbers there when there were only four in that. But I see that you actually mean that you have five digits in each number, rather than what you indicated in your first post.
Anyway, I've provided you a link you should read, then post your attempt.

All numbers from 00000 to 33333? Sounds like a simple base-4 counter that goes from base-10 0 to 1023, Then treat the binary value as base-4 and extract 2 bits at a time for the digits.
