Index finite lists of positive integers

From Rosetta Code
Task
Index finite lists of positive integers
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

It is known that the set of finite lists of positive integers is   countable.

This means that there exists a subset of natural integers which can be mapped to the set of finite lists of positive integers.


Task

Implement such a mapping:

  •   write a function     rank     which assigns an integer to any finite, arbitrarily long list of arbitrary large positive integers.
  •   write a function   unrank   which is the   rank   inverse function.


Demonstrate your solution by:

  •   picking a random-length list of random positive integers
  •   turn it into an integer,   and
  •   get the list back.


There are many ways to do this.   Feel free to choose any one you like.


Extra credit

Make the   rank   function as a   bijection   and show   unrank(n)   for   n   varying from   0   to   10.

Restricted to shortish lists with smallish integers, because the rank integers get really big really fast, and bloating the code with arbitrary precision arithmetic isn't illustrative.

Bijective

A list element n is encoded as a 1 followed by n 0's. Element encodings are concatenated to form a single integer rank. An advantage of this encoding is that no special case is required to handle the empty list.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "math/big"
)

func rank(l []uint) (r big.Int) {
    for _, n := range l {
        r.Lsh(&r, n+1)
        r.SetBit(&r, int(n), 1)
    }
    return
}

func unrank(n big.Int) (l []uint) {
    m := new(big.Int).Set(&n)
    for a := m.BitLen(); a > 0; {
        m.SetBit(m, a-1, 0)
        b := m.BitLen()
        l = append(l, uint(a-b-1))
        a = b
    }
    return
}

func main() {
    var b big.Int
    for i := 0; i <= 10; i++ {
        b.SetInt64(int64(i))
        u := unrank(b)
        r := rank(u)
        fmt.Println(i, u, &r)
    }
    b.SetString("12345678901234567890", 10)
    u := unrank(b)
    r := rank(u)
    fmt.Printf("\n%v\n%d\n%d\n", &b, u, &r)
}
Output:

Alternative

A bit of a hack to make a base 11 number then interpret it as base 16, just because that's easiest. Not bijective. Practical though for small lists of large numbers.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "math/big"
    "math/rand"
    "strings"
    "time"
)

// Prepend base 10 representation with an "a" and you get a base 11 number.
// Unfortunately base 11 is a little awkward with big.Int, so just treat it
// as base 16.
func rank(l []big.Int) (r big.Int, err error) {
    if len(l) == 0 {
        return
    }
    s := make([]string, len(l))
    for i, n := range l {
        ns := n.String()
        if ns[0] == '-' {
            return r, fmt.Errorf("negative integers not mapped")
        }
        s[i] = "a" + ns
    }
    r.SetString(strings.Join(s, ""), 16)
    return
}

// Split the base 16 representation at "a", recover the base 10 numbers.
func unrank(r big.Int) ([]big.Int, error) {
    s16 := fmt.Sprintf("%x", &r)
    switch {
    case s16 == "0":
        return nil, nil // empty list
    case s16[0] != 'a':
        return nil, fmt.Errorf("unrank not bijective")
    }
    s := strings.Split(s16[1:], "a")
    l := make([]big.Int, len(s))
    for i, s1 := range s {
        if _, ok := l[i].SetString(s1, 10); !ok {
            return nil, fmt.Errorf("unrank not bijective")
        }
    }
    return l, nil
}

func main() {
    // show empty list
    var l []big.Int
    r, _ := rank(l)
    u, _ := unrank(r)
    fmt.Println("Empty list:", l, &r, u)

    // show random list
    l = random()
    r, _ = rank(l)
    u, _ = unrank(r)

    }

    // show error with list containing negative
    var n big.Int
    n.SetInt64(-5)
    _, err := rank([]big.Int{n})
    fmt.Println("\nList element:", &n, err)

    // show technique is not bijective
    n.SetInt64(1)
    _, err = unrank(n)
    fmt.Println("Rank:", &n, err)
}

// returns 0 to 5 numbers in the range 1 to 2^100
func random() []big.Int {
    r := rand.New(rand.NewSource(time.Now().Unix()))
    l := make([]big.Int, r.Intn(6))
    one := big.NewInt(1)
    max := new(big.Int).Lsh(one, 100)
    for i := range l {
        l[i].Add(one, l[i].Rand(r, max))
    }
    return l
}

Example use:

   hcnurcs 4314664669630761
4 5 7 9 0 8 8 7 4 8 8 4 1

Explanation. We treat the sequence as an n digit number in base m where n is the length of the list and m is 1+the largest value in the list. (This is equivalent to treating it as a polynomial in m with coefficients which are the values of the list, with powers of m increasing from right to left.) In other words 4 5 7 9 0 8 8 7 4 8 8 4 1 becomes 4579088748841. Now we just need to encode the base (10, in this case). To do that we treat this number as a sequence of bits and prepend it with 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0. This is a sequence of '1's whose length matches the number of bits needed to represent the base of our polynomial, followed by a 0 followed by the base of our polynomial.

To extract the original list we reverse this process: Find the position of the first zero, that's the size of our base, extract the base and then use that to find the coefficients of our polynomial, which is or original list.

Whether this is an efficient representation or not depends, of course, on the nature of the list being represented.

jq

Works with jq within the limits of jq's support for large integer arithmetic

Works with jaq within the limits of jaq's support for large integers

The main point of interest of this entry is probably the use of the Fibonacci encoding of positive integers (see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_coding and Category:jq/fibonacci.jq). This is the focus of the first subsection. The second subsection focuses on the "n 0s" encoding.

The Go implementation of jq supports indefinitely large integers and so, apart from machine limitations, the programs shown here should work using gojq without further qualification.

The C implementation of jq, as of version 1.6, supports arbitrarily large literal integers, and the `tonumber` filter retains precision allowing seamless translation between strings and numbers.

The following is slightly more verbose than it need be but for the sake of compatibility with jaq. Also note that trivial changes would be required if using jaq as jaq does not (as of this writing in 2024) support the `include` or `module` directives.

Map based on Fibonacci encoding

Since each Fibonacci-encoded integer ends with "11" and contains no other instances of "11" before the end, the original sequence of integers can trivially be recovered after simple concatenation of the encodings. However, the Fibonacci encoding of an integer can begin with 0s, so here we simply prefix the binary string with a "1".

For example: 1 2 3 => 11 011 0011 => 1110110011

In the following, we will simply interpret this as an integer in base 2 to avoid unnecessary complications arising from implementation-specific limits.

include "fibonacci" {search: "./"}; # see https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Jq/fibonacci.jq

# Input: an array of integers
# Output: an integer-valued binary string, being the reverse of the concatenated Fibonacci-encoded values
def rank:
  map(fibencode | map(tostring) | join(""))
  | "1" + join("");

# Input a bitstring or 0-1 integer interpreted as a bitstring
# Output: an array of integers
def unrank:
  tostring
  | .[1:]
  | split("11")
  | .[:-1]
  | map(. + "11" | fibdecode) ;

# Output: a PRN in range(0;$n) where $n is .
def prn:
  if . == 1 then 0
  else . as $n
  | (($n-1)|tostring|length) as $w
  | [limit($w; inputs) | tostring] | join("") | sub("^0+";"") | tonumber
  | if . < $n then . else $n | prn end
  end;

### The task
# Encode and decode a random number of distinct positive numbers chosen at random.
# Produce a JSON object showing the set of numbers, their encoding, and 
# the result of comparing the original set with the reconstructed set.
def task:
  (11 | prn) + 1
  | . as $numbers
  | [range(0;$numbers) | 100000 | prn + 1]
  | . as $numbers
  | rank
  | . as $encoded
  # now decode:
  | unrank
  | {$numbers, encoded: ($encoded|tonumber), check: ($numbers == .)}

Tcl

Works with: Tcl version 8.6

Inspired by the D solution.

package require Tcl 8.6

proc rank {integers} {
    join [lmap i $integers {format %llo $i}] 8
}

proc unrank {codedValue} {
    lmap i [split $codedValue 8] {scan $i %llo}
}

Demonstrating:

set s {1 2 3 10 100 987654321 135792468107264516704251 7}
puts "prior: $s"
set c [rank $s]
puts "encoded: $c"
set t [unrank $c]
puts "after: $t"
Output:
prior: 1 2 3 10 100 987654321 135792468107264516704251 7
encoded: 1828381281448726746426183460251416730347660304377387
