Just for variety, a recursive solution suggests itself.
use strict; use warnings; sub add_to { my ($target, $first_card, @others) = @_; # Base cases return [$first_card] if $first_card == $target; return () if @others == 0; # The set of cards adding up to target is # the set of cards adding up to target that include first_card, AND # the set of cards adding up to target that don't include first_card return (map([$first_card, @$_], add_to($target-$first_card, @others) +) , add_to($target, @others)); } my @hand = map 1+int(rand(10)), 1..7; print "Hand is @hand\n"; print "@$_\n" for add_to(15, @hand);
