24 Game Solver

A simple solver for the classic 24 Game.
It takes 4 digits (1–9) and tries to make the number 24 using the basic math operators: + - * /.

What is the 24 Game?

The 24 Game is a math puzzle played with 4 numbers.
Rules:

• Use all 4 numbers exactly once.
• Only 1 - 9 numbers allowed.
• You can use the operations + - * /.
• Parentheses can be added anywhere to control the order of operations.
• The goal: make the result equal 24.

Example: with numbers 3, 3, 8, 8 → one valid solution is (8 / (3 - 8/3)) = 24.

This program automates the search for all possible valid solutions.

Notice

While the solver removes obvious duplicates, some results may still look similar because of different parenthesis placements or mathematically equivalent expressions.

Run the Program

1. Make sure Go is installed.
2. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/x0root/24Solver.git
   cd 24Solver

3. Run the solver:

   go run main.go

4. Enter 4 digits (example: 1 2 3 4 or 1234), and the program will search for all valid solutions.
