¡Factoriales y ciclos interminables!


33

Como puede saber, el factorial de un entero positivo nes el producto de todos los enteros positivos que son iguales o menores n.

Por ejemplo :

6! = 6*5*4*3*2*1 = 720
0! = 1

Ahora definiremos una operación especial con un nombre irrelevante como sumFac:

Dado un entero positivo n, sumFac(n)es la suma de los factoriales de los dígitos.

Por ejemplo :

sumFac(132) = 1! + 3! + 2! = 9

Tarea

Su misión, ya sea que elija o no aceptarla, es devolver la secuencia (potencialmente infinita) de las aplicaciones sumFaca un entero dado en la entrada.

Ejemplo: 132 -> 132, 9, 362880, 81369, 403927, ...

¡Pero eso no es todo! De hecho, las aplicaciones de sumFaceventualmente crearán un ciclo. ¡También debes devolver este ciclo!

Si su idioma tiene un factorial incorporado, puede usarlo. No soy exigente con el tipo de retorno, solo tiene que devolver la secuencia de aplicaciones sumFac y el ciclo en un formato comprensible para un humano.

EDITAR: para ayudarlo a visualizar mejor cómo debería verse la salida, copié Leaky Nun's justo debajo:

[132, 9, 362880, 81369, 403927, 367953, 368772, 51128, 40444, 97, 367920, 368649, 404670, 5810, 40442, 75, 5160, 842, 40346, 775, 10200, 6, 720, 5043, 151, 122, 5, 120, 4, 24, 26, 722, 5044, 169, 363601, 1454]

¡Solo necesita detener la secuencia cuando el ciclo está por comenzar por segunda vez!

Pero este es el código de golf, por lo que gana la respuesta más corta en bytes.

@Qwerp-Derp Thank you very much! I tried to be creative ^^

@Zgarb Well it's exactly like the output of Leaky Nun. The sequence of the applications and then it shall end just before the beginning of the second cycle. I'll copy his output in the question so everyone can have a clear understanding. Thanks for pointing that out :)

@2501 Hardcoding the value is cheating, but concerning the output formatting you can use any separator you want

@HyperNeutrino Somehow Dennis will come with an even shorter answer
Leaky Nun

Somehow, yes. Because Dennis. :P

So... Which character encoding do you use to come up with 6 bytes for those 6 characters? Isn't Jelly supposed to be UTF-8 encoded, meaning that this program is actually 9 bytes?

Explanation

g:I{     }ᵃ⁾         Accumulate I (a variable) times, with [Input] as initial input:
    t                  Take the last integer
     ẹḟᵐ+              Compute the sum of the factorial of its digits
            L        The result of the accumulation is L
            L­      Not all elements of L are different
               Lk    Output is L minus the last one (which is the start of the loop)

What does I mean?
Leaky Nun

1
@LeakyNun It's a parameter to ᵃ⁾. ᵃ³ means "accumulate 3 times". ᵃ⁾ means "accumulate as many times as the last element of the input", which in that case is I. Since I is a completely free variable, it will try values for it from 0 to +inf.

Saved 2 bytes thanks to fəˈnɛtɪk

It turns out to be quite similar to the other JS answer.

f=(n,x=!(a=[n]))=>n?f(n/10|0,x+(F=n=>n?n--*F(n):1)(n%10)):~a.indexOf(x)?a:f(x,!a.push(x))


In your factorial function shouldn't you be able to use n instead of n>1 because 0!=1?

Yikes, that is a monstrosity. Someone please help me golf this...

Thanks @cliffroot for shaving off a whopping 37 bytes!

This is an anonymous function, to run the function, you have to do this:

(#(...) {arguments})

TIO doesn't have ClojureScript, so here's a link to a ClojureScript REPL.

Here's a link to a Clojure program which prints the last element in the list from 0 to 1000.

Here's the output for 9999:

[9999 1451520 269 363602 1455 265 842 40346 775 10200 6 720 5043 151 122 5 120 4 24 26 722 5044 169 363601 1454]

I have a strong suspicion that all numbers must eventually settle at 1 or the loop [169 363601 1454].

Ungolfed code:

(defn fact-cycle [n]
  (loop [nums [n]]
    (let [fact-num
          (let [str-n (str (last nums))]
            (apply +
              (for [a (range (count str-n))]
                (apply *
                  (range 1
                    (inc (int (nth str-n a))))))))]
      (if (some #{fact-num} nums) nums
        (recur
          (conj nums fact-num))))))

Explanation coming soon!


Quite long but correct ;) I cannot really help you to golf this sorry ^^

the inner for can be (for[a s](apply *(range 1(-(int a)47)))), can't it?
cliffroot

and this will allow to get rid of the other let #(loop[n[%]](let[f(apply +(for[a(str(last n))](apply *(range 1(-(int a)47)))))](if(some #{f}n)n(recur(conj n f)))))
cliffroot

oh, seems you don't even need (- ... 47) in ClojureScript, just int will suffice
cliffroot

well, (inc(int a)) should do for ClojureScript and (-(int a)47) for Clojure.

  {
    [+]              # reduce using &infix:<+>
      .comb          # the digits of $_ (implicit method call)
      .map:          # do the following for each
      {
        [*] 2..$_    # get the factorial of
      }
  }


  ...^               # keep generating values until
                     # (「^」 means throw away the last value when done)

  {
      $_  @a        # is it an elem of @a? (「∈」 is shorter than 「(cont)」)

    ||               # if it's not

      !              # boolean invert so this returns False
        @a.push: $_  # add the tested value to @a
  }
}

Every line above that has { starts a new bare block lambda with an implicit parameter of $_.

I used [*] 2..$_ instead of [*] 1..$_ purely as a micro optimization.

Thanks @Shaggy for golfing off one byte with includes
Thanks @Neil for golfing off two bytes

Code separated into individual functions 92 bytes

f=(x,a=[])=>a.includes(x)?a:f(k(x),a,a.push(x))

Explanation

Initially call the function with just a single argument, therefore a=[].

If x exists in the array a return a a.includes(x)?a:...

Otherwise, append x to a and pass the factorial digit sum and a to the function (a.push(x),f(k(x),a))

p=y=>y?y*p(y-1):1
k=n=>n?p(n%10)+k(n/10|0):0

Factorial Digit sum performed so that it will not exceed the maximum recursion limit.

Gah, I was so close! Save a byte with f=(x,a=[])=>a.includes(x)?a:(a.push(x),f(k(x),a))
Shaggy

Can you not write f(k(x),a,a.push(x))? Also, I think you can write k=n=>n&& to save another byte.

(1) Test and append n instead of s(same as in ovs's Python answer), then f=([]#). (2) Switch the branches, inline s, and use elem.
Ørjan Johansen

Switch out your ++ for : also.

@Canyon It's the wrong order around for that, it would give the final result reversed. You can almost fix it up afterwards, by prepending an extra n: and changing =g to =[], but it seems to be only a tie.

q=sum(factorial(as.double(el(strsplit(as.character(o[length(o)]), "")))))
if(q%in%o)break

you can do o=scan(), use el() instead of [[1]], and gamma(n+1)=factorial(n) which I believe saves a byte, and I think as.numeric is the same as as.double for integers, which also saves a byte, and you can use toString instead of as.character.

Try it online!

Note: This solution relies on the string representation of a number having code points in the range 48-57. Works for ASCII, UTF-8, Latin-1, all ISO-8859-* character sets, most code pages. Does not work for EBCDIC. I don't think anyone will deduct points for that. :)

        .collect(Collectors.toList());      // collect them into a list
}

Notes:

  • The return value of Set::add is very helpful here; returns true iff the item was not in the set
  • I was being sarcastic when I said "Thanks, Java"
  • factorii isn't really a word; I just made that up

Lots of credit to Leaky Nun's answer, which introduced me to .u, and helped save a massive 11 bytes of this program.

Explanation:

.usm.!sd+NkQ | ending Q is implicitly added
             | Implicit: Q = eval(input())
.u         Q | Repeat the function with initial value Q until a previous value is found. Return all intermediate values
  s          | Summation
   m.!sd     | For each character 'd' in the string, convert to integer and take the factorial
        +Nk  | Convert function argument to string

Pyth has more useful functions than one imagines. See my answer as reference.
Leaky Nun

@LeakyNun I've rewritten my answer to use .u. I guess I'll need to take a look through the character reference again to see if there are any other useful functions there.
K Zhang

You can use `N to convert to string instead of +Nk.

Since this is running on a graphing calculator, there is limited RAM. Try testing it with numbers that loop quickly, like 169.

More Explanation:

:int(10fPart(Xseq(10^(~A-1),A,0,log(X
              seq(10^(~A-1),A,0,log(X //Get a list of powers of 10 for each digit (i.e. 1, 0.1, 0.01, etc.)
             X                        //Multiply by input
       fPart(                         //Remove everything but the decimal
     10                               //Multiply by 10 (move one digit in front of the decimal
:int(                                 //Truncate to an integer

If prod(L₁-X works by subtracting the new element from the old list, then multiplying all the elements of the list together. If the element was already in the list, the product will be 0, a falsey value. Otherwise, the product will be a positive integer, a truthy value.

J, 40 31 bytes

Edit: 9 bytes saved using the improvements by FrownyFrog. Thanks!

f=.$:@,~`]@.e.~[:+/@:!10#.inv{:

Original code:

f=.[`($:@,)@.([:-.e.~)[:+/!@("."0&":@{:)

In this case I decided to count the bytes for the verb definition, since otherwise it doesn't work in the interpreter.

Explanation:

                         (        {:) - Takes the last element of the array
                               ":@    - converts it to string
                          "."0&       - converts each character back to integer
                       !@             - finds the factorials
                     +/               - sums them
                   [:                 - cap (there are 2 derived verbs above, we need 3 for a fork)
          (    e.~)                   - check if the result is present in the list    
             -.                       - negates the above check
           [:                         - cap
        @.                            - Agenda conjunction, needed for the recursion
  ($:@,)                              - if the result is not in the list, add it to the list and recur
[`                                    - if the result is in the list, display it and stop

@FrownyFrog Thanks, your code is much better! I tried 10#.inv early while experimenting, but then I wrote it 10&#.inv and it was longer, so I rejected it. Thanks for all your suggestions! I have much to learn :)
Galen Ivanov

@FrownyFrog Reversing the cases for the agenda is so good, I regret I didn't see it :)
Galen Ivanov

[:+/!@"."0@":@{: is the same length, so there's no improvement with 10#.inv. Just had to drop the ().
