24 Game Solver CLI

A simple Python command-line application that solves the classic 24 Game.
The program takes 4 numbers as input and finds a mathematical expression that equals 24.

Features

• Solve the 24 Game using 4 input numbers
• Supports addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
• Uses exact fraction calculation to avoid floating-point errors
• Colorful terminal interface using Rich
• Allows repeated input until the user exits

Example

Input

Enter your number here! ⭐ : 4 4 6 0

Output

Your solution is (4 * (6 + 0)) = 24

If no solution is found, the program will display:

No solution found for these numbers.

Installation

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/24-game-solver-cli.git
cd 24-game-solver-cli

Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Run the program:

python main.py

Then enter 4 numbers separated by spaces:

4 4 6 0

To exit the program, type:

exit

or

quit

How It Works

The program tries every possible combination of the 4 numbers with basic arithmetic operators:

• Addition
• Subtraction
• Multiplication
• Division

It recursively combines numbers until only one result remains.
If the result equals 24, the program returns the expression.

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• Rich
