All Digits
« on: September 19, 2020, 05:37:42 pm »
Can anyone do this in 10 lines or less:
http://paulbourke.net/fun/digits.html

I am down to 11 lines, including printing the number, it's square and cube.

(Double parking with colons counts as more lines.)

Update: 10

Update: 9

Update: 7

9 lines, including printing the number, square, and cube.

Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. woof:
  2. n = n + 1
  3. n$ = LTRIM$(STR$(n * n)) + LTRIM$(STR$(n * n * n))
  4. PRINT n; n * n; n * n * n; " "; n$
  5. FOR i = 0 TO 9
  6.     p = INSTR(n$, CHR$(48 + i))
  7.     IF p THEN MID$(n$, p, 1) = "x" ELSE GOTO woof
  8. IF n$ <> "xxxxxxxxxx" THEN GOTO woof
  9.

Nice here it is at 9 with less sauce:
Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. woof:
  2. n = n + 1
  3. n$ = LTRIM$(STR$(n * n)) + LTRIM$(STR$(n * n * n))
  4. IF LEN(n$) > 10 THEN PRINT " no solution": END
  5. FOR i = 0 TO 9
  6.     p = INSTR(n$, CHR$(48 + i))
  7.     IF p THEN MID$(n$, p, 1) = "x" ELSE GOTO woof
  8. IF n$ = "xxxxxxxxxx" THEN PRINT n; n * n; n * n * n ELSE GOTO woof
  9.

I would give it 7 without the check for limit and dump the colon
Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. 1 n = n + 1
  2. n$ = LTRIM$(STR$(n * n)) + LTRIM$(STR$(n * n * n))
  3. FOR i = 0 TO 9
  4.     p = INSTR(n$, CHR$(48 + i))
  5.     IF p THEN MID$(n$, p, 1) = "x" ELSE GOTO 1
  6. IF n$ = "xxxxxxxxxx" THEN PRINT n; n * n; n * n * n ELSE GOTO 1
  7.  
  8.  
  9.

My 7 liner made use of fact that all 10 digits from squares and cubes were numbers from 47 to 99 learned in the 9 liner:

Here is how I worked mine down:
Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. ' all digits last one under easy
  2. _TITLE "A number whose digits from it's square and cube is 1 of all the digits" 'b+ 2020-09-19 from Paul Bourke
  3. 'FOR n = 1 TO 1000
  4. '    s$ = _TRIM$(STR$(n * n)) + _TRIM$(STR$(n * n * n))
  5. '    IF LEN(s$) = 10 THEN
  6. '        REDIM digits(9)
  7. '        FOR i = 1 TO 10
  8. '            digits(VAL(MID$(s$, i, 1))) = 1
  9. '        NEXT
  10. '        OK = -1
  11. '        FOR i = 0 TO 9
  12. '            IF digits(i) <> 1 THEN OK = 0: EXIT FOR
  13. '        NEXT
  14. '        IF OK THEN PRINT n: EXIT FOR
  15. '    END IF
  16. 'NEXT
  17. 'PRINT n ^ 2, n ^ 3
  18.  
  19. 'FOR n = 1 TO 1000
  20. '    s$ = _TRIM$(STR$(n * n)) + _TRIM$(STR$(n * n * n))
  21. '    IF LEN(s$) = 10 THEN
  22. '        test$ = SPACE$(10)
  23. '        FOR i = 1 TO 10
  24. '            MID$(test$, VAL(MID$(s$, i, 1)) + 1, 1) = "1"
  25. '        NEXT
  26. '        IF test$ = STRING$(10, "1") THEN EXIT FOR
  27. '    END IF
  28. 'NEXT
  29. 'IF n <> 1001 THEN PRINT n, n ^ 2, n ^ 3 ELSE PRINT "done"

  38. '    END IF
  39. 'NEXT

Maybe I shouldn't have posted code so soon, eh?  Give the beginners a good workout.

My first posting wasn't right - said there was no solution.  Duh. 

Puzzles are fun - unless they take months to solve!

Ah but you would miss the bonus points for being the first poster.

I like seeing the MID$ SUB being used as opposed to the FUNCTION and work around from using arrays for the letters.

Way back when, there used to be competitions, to produce workable games/programs in 10 lines or less...

Do I sense a resurgence? lol

The occasional challenge is nice I think.

If anyone can beat 7 here, it will knock my socks off! Steve has done some clever things.

Wait... 6
Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. 1 n = n + 1
  2. test$ = SPACE$(10)
  3. FOR i = 1 TO 10
  4.     MID$(test$, VAL(MID$(_TRIM$(STR$(n * n)) + _TRIM$(STR$(n * n * n)), i, 1)) + 1, 1) = "1"
  5. IF test$ = STRING$(10, "1") THEN PRINT "n n^2 n^3:"; n; n ^ 2; n ^ 3 ELSE GOTO 1
  6.

I can't beat bplus's 6 lines, so I'm going to cheat and use Haskell instead:

Code: [Select]
head [x | x <- [1..], ['0'..'9'] == sort (show (x^2) ++ show (x^3))]

That 6 line solution is very odd.  You'd probably fall UP if you jumped out of an airplane.

While super short, it's horrible for processing time, which is what I try to optimize for,  esp. lately.

Did you know that 2 nested DO-LOOPs is faster than 2 nested FOR-NEXT loops?  Not that I
understand why.

Oh man this brings back memories of BP.org. We'd have a little challenge and see all the master stuff done with different versions of Basic. Then someone comes in with a One-Liner (and as time went several PL's represented) from the real world of computing. ;-) Reality Check

Heh-heh yes as LOC (Lines Of Code) thins out it tends to get pretty desperate either in readability or efficient processing.

Long known by me and some others FOR loops are slowest by far, internally maintaining an index variable and a stepper and end of loop tests... DO LOOP is faster doing your own conditional testing for jumping out. Also (maybe taboo) but a goto like that used at end of 6 liner is fast too. FOR NEXT loops set a variable index and conditional exit in 2 lines which often makes them better for a LOC challenge.

What really sucks in 6 liner is this:
Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. MID$(test$, VAL(MID$(_TRIM$(STR$(n * n)) + _TRIM$(STR$(n * n * n)), i, 1)) + 1, 1) = "1"
the
Code: QB64: [Select]
  1.  _TRIM$(STR$(n * n)) + _TRIM$(STR$(n * n * n)
part. Look at those functions and math called over and over just to save one line of setting a variable
Code: QB64: [Select]
  1.  s$ = _TRIM$(STR$(n * n)) + _TRIM$(STR$(n * n * n)

Falling through to GOTO start of code not so unusual specially if you started out in spaghetti code world. :)

Think you could pull it off with no GOTO?
Granted after becoming radioactive I only have a half-life!
