Can you run it and post how many solutions?
Output:
123 + 45 - 67 + 8 - 9
123 + 4 - 5 + 67 - 89
123 - 45 - 67 + 89
123 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 + 8 - 9
12 + 3 + 4 + 5 - 6 - 7 + 89
12 + 3 - 4 + 5 + 67 + 8 + 9
12 - 3 - 4 + 5 - 6 + 7 + 89
1 + 23 - 4 + 56 + 7 + 8 + 9
1 + 23 - 4 + 5 + 6 + 78 - 9
1 + 2 + 34 - 5 + 67 - 8 + 9
1 + 2 + 3 - 4 + 5 + 6 + 78 + 9
Performance: Takes 2 milliseconds to run it on my machine in f#-interactive.
(Real: 00:00:00.002, CPU: 00:00:00.000, GC gen0: 0, gen1: 0, gen2: 0)
A "clever" (both slower and much harder to understand) solution is here:
