Department numbers
![Task](http://static.miraheze.org/rosettacodewiki/thumb/b/ba/Rcode-button-task-crushed.png/64px-Rcode-button-task-crushed.png)
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
There is a highly organized city that has decided to assign a number to each of their departments:
- police department
- sanitation department
- fire department
Each department can have a number between 1 and 7 (inclusive).
The three department numbers are to be unique (different from each other) and must add up to 12.
The Chief of the Police doesn't like odd numbers and wants to have an even number for his department.
- Task
Write a computer program which outputs all valid combinations.
Possible output (for the 1st and 14th solutions):
--police-- --sanitation-- --fire-- 2 3 7 6 5 1
11l
print(‘Police Sanitation Fire’)
print(‘----------------------------------’)
L(police) (2..6).step(2)
L(sanitation) 1..7
L(fire) 1..7
I police!=sanitation & sanitation!=fire & fire!=police & police+fire+sanitation==12
print(police"\t\t"sanitation"\t\t"fire)
- Output:

Fortran
This uses the ability standardised in F90 of labelling a DO-loop so that its start and end are linked by usage of the same name, with this checked by the compiler. Further, in avoiding the use of the dreaded GO TO statement, the CYCLE statement can be employed instead with the same effect, and it too can bear the same name so that it is clear which loop is involved. These names prefix the DO-loop, and so, force some additional indentation. They are not statement labels and must be unique themselves. Notably, they cannot be the same text as the name of the index variable for their DO-loop, unlike the lead given by BASIC with its FOR I ... NEXT I
arrangement.
The method is just to generate all the possibilities, discarding those that fail the specified tests. However, the requirement that the codes add up to twelve means that after the first two are chosen the third is determined, and blandly looping through all the possibilities is too much brute force and ignorance, though other collections of rules could make that bearable.
Since the modernisers of Fortran made a point of specifying that it does not specify the manner of evaluation of compound boolean expressions, specifically, that there is to be no reliance on Short-circuit_evaluation, both parts of the compound expression of the line labelled 5 "may" be evaluated even though the first may have determined the result. Prior to the introduction of LOGICAL variables with F66, one employed integer arithmetic as is demonstrated in the arithmetic-IF test of the line labelled 6. On the B6700, this usage ran faster than the corresponding boolean expression - possibly because there was no test for short-circuiting the expression when the first part of a multiply was zero...
Note that the syntax enables two classes of labels: the old-style numerical label in columns one to five, and the special label-like prefix of a DO-loop that is not in columns one to five. And yes, a line can have both.
INTEGER P,S,F !Department codes for Police, Sanitation, and Fire. Values 1 to 7 only.
1 PP:DO P = 2,7,2 !The police demand an even number. They're special and use violence.
2 SS:DO S = 1,7 !The sanitation department accepts any value.
3 IF (P.EQ.S) CYCLE SS !But it must differ from the others.
4 F = 12 - (P + S) !The fire department accepts any number, but the sum must be twelve.
5 IF (F.LE.0 .OR. F.GT.7) CYCLE SS !Ensure that the only option is within range.
6 IF ((F - S)*(F - P)) 7,8,7 !And F is to differ from S and from P
7 WRITE (6,"(3I2)") P,S,F !If we get here, we have a possible set.
8 END DO SS !Next S
9 END DO PP !Next P.

Reaching again for a little more syntactic sugar, the options function above could also be re-written either as a list comprehension,

Solution:
require 'stats'
permfrom=: ,/@(perm@[ {"_ 1 comb) NB. get permutations of length x from y possible items
alluniq=: # = #@~. NB. check items are unique
addto12=: 12 = +/ NB. check items add to 12
iseven=: -.@(2&|) NB. check items are even
policeeven=: {.@iseven NB. check first item is even
conditions=: policeeven *. addto12 *. alluniq
Validnums=: >: i.7 NB. valid Department numbers
getDeptNums=: [: (#~ conditions"1) Validnums {~ permfrom
Example usage:

Alternate approaches

Note that we are only showing the distinct valid combinations here, not all valid permutations of those combinations. (Valid permutations would be: swapping the last two values in a combination, and all permutations of 2 4 6.)
Another variation would be more constraint based, blindly implementing the rules of the task and yielding all valid permutations. (Shown here with the number of possibilities at each step):
NB. 3 departments, 1..7 in each
#rule1=. >,{3#<1+i.7
343
NB. total must be 12, numbers must be unique
#rule2=. (#~ ((3=#@~.) * 12=+/)"1) rule1
30
NB. no odd numbers in police department (first department)
#rule3=. (#~ 0=2|{."1) rule2

jq
In this section, we present three solutions.
The first illustrates how a straightforward generate-and-test algorithm using familiar for-loops can be translated into jq.
The second illustrates how essentially the same algorithm can be written in a more economical way, without sacrificing comprehensibility.
The third illustrates how the built-in function `combinations/1' can be used to achieve greater efficiency.
The solutions in all cases are presented as a stream of JSON objects such as:
{"fire":1,"police":4,"sanitation":7}
as these are self-explanatory, though it would be trivial to present them in another format. For brevity, the solutions are omitted here.
Nested for-loop

| range(1;8) as $police

Solution 2.
Let's make the flow easier to follow by using chaining (pipelining).
Example:
Instead of saying
(let (x 8) (list 'foo (pow 2 x) 'bar))
we can say:
(=>> 8 (pow 2 ??) (list 'foo ?? 'bar))
- Output:
(foo 256 bar)
The order in which the functions are executed is the order in which they appear. I think that this makes the code easier to understand.
(define-macro (=>> _E_ _form_)
(eval
(if $args
(cons '=>> (cons (list '=>> _E_ _form_) (args)))
(begin
(if (ref '?? _form_) (setf (nth $it _form_) _E_))
_form_))))
(=>>
(begin
(println "--police-- --sanitation-- --fire--")
(sequence 111 777))
(map (fn(n) (map int (explode (string n)))) ??)
(filter
(fn(L) (and (= (unique L) L)
(= 12 (apply + L))
(even? (L 0))
(empty? (difference L '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7)))))
??)
(dolist (lst ??)
(println (format " %d %d %d"
lst))))
Solution 3.
Finally rising above the brute-force approach. (It's about time.)
(let (nums '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7))
(for (police 2 (last nums) 2)
(dolist (sanitation (difference nums (list police)))
(let (fire (- 12 sanitation police))
(if (member fire (difference nums (list sanitation police)))
(println police '- sanitation '- fire))))))

Using a constraint solver
A problem this trivial is amenable to brute-force solutions such as the above, but it is a good example of the type of problem for which a constraint solver can be useful. This is how one could solve it using the `python-constraint` library:
import constraint
depts = ( 'police', 'sanitation', 'fire' )
p = constraint.Problem()
for var in depts:
p.addVariable(var, range(1,8))
p.addConstraint(constraint.AllDifferentConstraint())
p.addConstraint(lambda *vars: sum(vars)==12, depts)
p.addConstraint(lambda p: p%2==0, ('police',))
for s in p.getSolutions():
print(s)

We solve this task in two lines. The rest of the code is to make the result look nice.

Functional approach:

return (1...7)
.filter({ $0 != x })
.map({y -> (Int, Int, Int)? in
let z = 12 - (x + y)

return nil
}
return (x, y, z)
}).compactMap({ $0 })
}).flatMap({ $0 })
for result in res {

Iterative approach:
var res = [(Int, Int, Int)]()
for x in [2, 4, 6] {
for y in 1...7 where x != y {
let z = 12 - (x + y)
guard y != z && 1 <= z && z <= 7 else {

Since Tool Command Language is a multi-paradigm language, very different solutions are possible.
VERSION A - using procedures and list operations
# Procedure named ".." returns list of integers from 1 to max.
proc .. max {

lappend l $i
}
return $l
}
# Procedure named "anyEqual" returns true if any elements are equal,
# false otherwise.
proc anyEqual l {
if {[llength [lsort -unique $l]] != [llength $l]} {
return 1
}
return 0
}
# Procedure named "odd" tells whether a value is odd or not.
proc odd n {
expr $n %2 != 0
}
# Procedure named "sum" sums its parameters.
proc sum args {
expr [join $args +]
}
# Create lists of candidate numbers using proc ".."
set sanitation [.. 7]
set fire $sanitation
# Filter even numbers for police stations (remove odd ones).

# Check for sum of list elements.
if {[sum $p $s $f] != 12} continue
puts "$p $s $f"
incr valid
}
}
}
puts "$valid valid combinations found."
VERSION B - using simple for loops with number literals
set valid 0
for {set police 2} {$police <= 6} {incr police 2} {
for {set sanitation 1} {$sanitation <= 7} {incr sanitation} {
if {$police == $sanitation} continue

if {[expr $police + $sanitation + $fire] != 12} continue
puts "$police $sanitation $fire"
incr valid
}
}
}
puts "$valid valid combinations found."
VERSION C - using simple for loops with number variables
set min 1
set max 7
set valid 0
for {set police $min} {$police <= $max} {incr police} {
if {[expr $police % 2] == 1} continue ;# filter even numbers for police

if {[expr $police + $sanitation + $fire] != 12} continue
puts "$police $sanitation $fire"
incr valid
}
}
}
puts "$valid valid combinations found."
VERSION D - using list filter with lambda expressions
# Procedure named ".." returns list of integers from 1 to max.
proc .. max {
for {set i 1} {$i <= $max} {incr i} {
lappend l $i
}
return $l
}
# Procedure named "..." returns list of n lists of integers from 1 to max.
proc ... {max n} {
foreach i [.. $n] {
lappend result [.. $max]
}
return $result
}
# Procedure named "crossProduct" returns cross product of lists
proc crossProduct {listOfLists} {
set result [list [list]]
foreach factor $listOfLists {
set newResult {}
foreach combination $result {
foreach elt $factor {
lappend newResult [linsert $combination end $elt]
}
}
set result $newResult
}
return $result
}
# Procedure named "filter" filters list elements by using a
# condition λ (lambda) expression
proc filter {l condition} {
return [lmap el $l {
if {![apply $condition $el]} continue
set el
}]
}
# Here the fun using lambda expressions begins. The following is the main program.
# Set λ expressions
set λPoliceEven {_ {expr [lindex $_ 0] % 2 == 0}}
set λNoEquals {_ {expr [llength [lsort -unique $_]] == [llength $_]}}
set λSumIs12 {_ {expr [join $_ +] == 12}}
# Create all combinations and filter acceptable ones
set numbersOk [filter [filter [filter [crossProduct [... 7 3]] ${λPoliceEven}] ${λSumIs12}] ${λNoEquals}]
puts [join $numbersOk \n]
puts "[llength $numbersOk] valid combinations found."

- Output:
L(L(1,4,7),L(1,5,6),L(2,3,7),L(2,4,6),L(3,4,5))
Note: The sum of three odd numbers is odd, so a+b+c=12 means at least one even nmber (1 even, two odd or 3 even). Futher, 2a+b=12, a,b in (2,4,6) has one solution: a=2,b=4
For a table with repeated solutions using nested loops:
println("Police Fire Sanitation");
foreach p,f,s in ([2..7,2], [1..7], [1..7])
{ if((p!=s!=f) and p+f+s==12) println(p,"\t",f,"\t",s) }
- Output:
Police Fire Sanitation 2 3 7 2 4 6 2 6 4 2 7 3 4 1 7 4 2 6 4 3 5 4 5 3 4 6 2 4 7 1 6 1 5 6 2 4 6 4 2 6 5 1
