Daily C++ Program Challenge (#1)

[Liudvis]

Hello everyone. Just some short, but interesting C++ (using Dev-C++) challenges that will get you thinking.

"Write an algorithm to find and print out all 4 digit numbers abcd, which match the equation (a+b+c+d)^4=abcd.
The same letters mark the same digits."

Good luck and have fun :)

are there any rules to the numbers, ie. can they be the same? for example (0+0+0+0)^4=0x0x0x0

[Liudvis]

They can't be the same. Different letters mark different digits.

Where did you find those tasks?

[Liudvis]

I made them myself, so far it's just one, tomorrow I'll make a new one.

I don't see how it's an C++ (or rather programming) challenge. Solving this with pen and paper actually faster than writing code for it.

[Liudvis]

This is really a beginners, and also if the numbers were bigger, it would be extremely difficult to solve it by hand. It's a short code btw

[MiiNiPaa]

It reminds me of ProjectEuler challenges, which requires use of unortodox thinking, bruteforcing it with aid of computer or combining both and comparing your programm lenght to others on forums.
