Sam I Am

Locked

I don't know why Dr. Suess's sadistic character Sam-I-Am wanted to badger others into eating green eggs and ham, but we admire his tenacity. Here at the secret CodeGym center we respect the classics. And we respect combinatorics. Hence, your task: display all possible combinations of the words "Sam", "I" and "Am".

IntelliJ shortcut for System.out.println() is "sout + TAB". very helpful here

You can also use a loop or just use copy and paste ctrl + c to copy and ctrl + v to paste.

I suggest using an array for the strings and 2 for loops for the printing.

Hey Lars can you help me with the loop part of this? Thank you.

I'm pretty sure there is a more efficient way to do this, but I tried a couple of solutions for the sake of learn, and they didn't really work.

I agree. I think a solution would be to make an array and counters for each word to be in each position twice, but I'm not sure if it would be more memory efficient and work efficient than just manually printing each statement.

yeah, I tried some algorithm as well. but converting them into an array and then looping it with some logic, I am getting options where they are giving only 2 word combinations as well. like IAm and SamI

I was trying to think of ways to do it...but it seems way above my programming level.... One idea I had was to put "I", "am", "sam" in an array....and then switch around the elements in the array with Random (somehow)....

Risbah, I think if you did your idea (without the random maybe) and made counters for each word to be in each position no more than twice it could work maybe? Not really sure.
