Code not working

[mtliou]

This code can't solve simple 24 games like: "4 4 6 8" Is the code working for anyone else?

@mtliou hey try again please, I just shipped a new update

Yeah idk what you're doing but it's not working... I've spent so much time on this but I'm now seeing all the negative comments regarding the code. Has it ever worked for anyone?

What's not working? Can you be more specific? It seems to be working just fine???

[mtliou]

we both got the same wrong result. Here: (8 / (3 - (1 / 3))) = 24. This is erroneous. Your output is always wrong. I can't locate what's wrong with you code but it seems to have significantly worse performance than the paper's code.
