Next highest int from digits
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Given a zero or positive integer, the task is to generate the next largest integer using only the given digits*1.
- Numbers will not be padded to the left with zeroes.
- Use all given digits, with their given multiplicity. (If a digit appears twice in the input number, it should appear twice in the result).
- If there is no next higest integer return zero.
*1 Alternatively phrased as: "Find the smallest integer larger than the (positive or zero) integer N which can be obtained by reordering the (base 10) digits of N".
- Algorithm 1
- Generate all the permutations of the digits and sort into numeric order.
- Find the number in the list.
- Return the next highest number from the list.
The above could prove slow and memory hungry for numbers with large numbers of digits, but should be easy to reason about its correctness.
- Algorithm 2
- Scan right-to-left through the digits of the number until you find a digit with a larger digit somewhere to the right of it.
- Exchange that digit with the digit on the right that is both more than it, and closest to it.
- Order the digits to the right of this position, after the swap; lowest-to-highest, left-to-right. (I.e. so they form the lowest numerical representation)
E.g:
n = 12453 <scan> 12_4_53 <swap> 12_5_43 <order-right> 12_5_34 return: 12534
This second algorithm is faster and more memory efficient, but implementations may be harder to test. One method of testing ,(as used in developing the task), is to compare results from both algorithms for random numbers generated from a range that the first algorithm can handle.
- Task requirements
Calculate the next highest int from the digits of the following numbers:
- 0
- 9
- 12
- 21
- 12453
- 738440
- 45072010
- 95322020
- Optional stretch goal
- 9589776899767587796600
Factor
This uses the next-permutation
word from the math.combinatorics
vocabulary. next-permutation
wraps around and returns the smallest lexicographic permutation after the largest one, so additionally we must check if we're at the largest permutation and return zero if so. See the implementation of next-permutation
here.
