Hi all pythoners<br>
<br>
I've got a probably easy to answer question.<br>
<br>
Say I've got a collections of strings, e.g.: 'man', 'bat', 'super', 'ultra'.<br>
<br>
They are in a list, or in a sequence or whatever, say a bag of words<br>
<br>
And now I want to know how many couples I can do with them, and I want the<br>
program to show me the actual couples: 'manman', 'manbat', 'mansuper',<br>
'manultra', 'batbat', 'batman', 'batsuper', etc.<br>
<br>
But hey, why building up new words from just two strings? I also want to<br>
know the possible combinations of three words, four words, and perhaps, why<br>
not, five words.<br>
<br>
So, is it easy to do?<br>
<br>
Sorry, I'm new in programing, and am probably far from being a math-master<br>
<br>
I'm clueless, I think probably the code have some FOR I IN SEQUENCE... but<br>
then what? I don't know how to say: take every element and paste it to<br>
another one from the bag, and with another one, and with another one,...<br>
<br>
If it's too complex, I dont need the whole code recipe, just need some<br>
clues, or perhaps a useful link<br>
<br>
Thank you very much in advance!<br>
