If I understand you correctly, it sounds like a 5-bit binary with N
and Y instead of 0 and 1. Try looping through numbers 0..31 (max 5-bit
number) and call some transforming function (let's call it to_string),
which would loop trough the bits and produce a string of Ys and Ns
accordingly. I intentionally give you just an idea, so you could be
proud of yourself implementing it :) It will take some 15 lines of
code.
