Hey, I was just curious how I''d go about creating a few loops that would go through every possible combonation of ''n'' numbers, where order does matter and numbers can be repeated. i.e. - GenerateNumberListFunction(2,2) would return: 1 1 2 2 1 2 1 2 Any thoughts? Thanks, Jesse

for(int i=0;i<2;i++)
   for(int j=0;j<2;j++)
      printf("%d\t%d\n",i,j);

should do it...

C++ has next_permutation and prev_permutation functions that do exactly what you want (generate permutations).

Note that duplicate sequences may be generated if duplicate values exist.

Consult your favourite C++ reference for further details.
