Revision as of 00:37, 9 December 2018
You need a random arrangement of a deck of cards, you are sick of lame ways of doing this. This task is a super-cool way of doing this using factorial base numbers. The first 25 factorial base numbers in increasing order are: 0.0.0, 0.0.1, 0.1.0, 0.1.1, 0.2.0, 0.2.1, 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.1.0, 1.1.1,1.2.0, 1.2.1, 2.0.0, 2.0.1, 2.1.0, 2.1.1, 2.2.0, 2.2.1, 3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.1.0, 3.1.1, 3.2.0, 3.2.1, 1.0.0.0 Observe that the least significant digit is base 2 the next base 3, in general an n-digit factorial base number has digits n..1 in base n+1..2.
I want to produce a 1 to 1 mapping between these numbers and permutations:-
0.0.0 -> 0123 0.0.1 -> 0132 0.1.0 -> 0213 0.1.1 -> 0231 0.2.0 -> 0312 0.2.1 -> 0321 1.0.0 -> 1023 1.0.1 -> 1032 1.1.0 -> 1203 1.1.1 -> 1230 1.2.0 -> 1302 1.2.1 -> 1320 2.0.0 -> 2013 2.0.1 -> 2031 2.1.0 -> 2103 2.1.1 -> 2130 2.2.0 -> 2301 2.2.1 -> 2310 3.0.0 -> 3012 3.0.1 -> 3021 3.1.0 -> 3102 3.1.1 -> 3120 3.2.0 -> 3201 3.2.1 -> 3210
The following psudo-code will do this:
Starting with n=0 and Ω=an array of elements to be permutated, for each digit g starting with the most significant in the factorial base nubmer 1. if g is greater than zero rotate the elements from n to n+g in Ω (see example) 2. increment n and goto 1 using the next most significant digit until the factorial base number is exhausted.
Let me work 2.0.1 and 0123
step 1 n=0 g=2 Ω=2013 step 2 n=1 g=0 so no action step 3 n=2 g=1 Ω=2031
The task:
First use your function to recreate the above table. Secondly use your function to generate all permutaions of 11 digits, perhaps count them don't display them, compare this method with methods in rc's permutations task. Thirdly here following are two ramdom 51 digit factorial base numbers I prepared earlier: 39.49.7.47.29.30.2.12.10.3.29.37.33.17.12.31.29.34.17.25.2.4.25.4.1.14.20.6.21.18.1.1.1.4.0.5.15.12.4.3.10.10.9.1.6.5.5.3.0.0.0 51.48.16.22.3.0.19.34.29.1.36.30.12.32.12.29.30.26.14.21.8.12.1.3.10.4.7.17.6.21.8.12.15.15.13.15.7.3.12.11.9.5.5.6.6.3.4.0.3.2.1 use your function to crate the corresponding permutation of the following shoe of cards: A♠K♠Q♠J♠10♠9♠8♠7♠6♠5♠4♠3♠2♠A♥K♥Q♥J♥10♥9♥8♥7♥6♥5♥4♥3♥2♥A♦K♦Q♦J♦10♦9♦8♦7♦6♦5♦4♦3♦2♦A♣K♣Q♣J♣10♣9♣8♣7♣6♣5♣4♣3♣2♣ Finally create your own 51 digit factorial base number and produce the corresponding permutation of the above shoe
