Well-Ordered Numbers In Python

Following up on my previous implementation in perl, here is a solution for printing well-ordered numbers in python. This shows some of the useful features of python such as the easy way to loop and the non-necessity of declaring variables in some situations.

def generateWellOrderedNumbers( count, beginning ):

 if len( beginning ) == 0:

  lastNumOfBeginning = 0

 else:

  lastNumOfBeginning = int( beginning[-1] )

 count = count - 1

 

 for i in range( lastNumOfBeginning + 1, 10 ):

  printstring = beginning + str(i)

  if count == 0:

   print printstring

  else:

   generateWellOrderedNumbers( count, printstring )

 

generateWellOrderedNumbers( 8, "" );
