Need a few tips on this program.

Question

https://code.sololearn.com/cmxB4ziUIizh/?ref=app
Just finished writing this code. But I'm really struggling with how to print the BONUS point mentioned within the code itself i.e. if 225 is the output of the above code then how should I make it print like 225 is the minimal number with arrangement [40,1,10,5,25].

Will appreciate help!
Thanks

Answer 1

One method would be to create an extra list which saves every permutation of the given numbers, which corresponds to the values in list_sum. After obtaining min(list_sum), you can find the index of min(list_sum) within list_sum, and use this index to access the corresponding element in your list which stores the permutations.

There is actually a more efficient way of obtaining the minimum sum and the combination without storing all of them into lists, but you're probably already aware of that.
