TASK

print integers n, where 12 <= n <= 123456789, and all pairs of consecutive digits in n have the same positive difference between them (e.g. 2468 but not 2469).

Try it online!

My solution from anarchy golf. The idea is to iterate over all possible triples of length, start value, and step, which gives sorted outputs. The triple is encoded as a value r from 72 to 647, and the components are extracted as k/72, k/8%9, and k%8. Starting k high enough avoids single-digit numbers from being output.

xsot saved two bytes off this by replacing the range with a hardcoded string of digits '123456789'.

This was written under the constraint of a two second runtime limit. A slower strategy that filters numbers rather than generating these may be shorter.

Lightning fast due to constructing rather than selecting the output.

JavaScript (ES6), 145 bytes

A straight-forward approach with little magic.

Array(123456790).fill().map((x,i)=>(''+i).split('')).map((a,i,d) => {d=a[1]-a[0];d>0&a.every((n,j)=>j<1||n-a[j-1]==d)?console.log(a.join('')):0})

Running the snippet will consume a lot of memory...

for(;++$d<9||++$a<9*$d=1;sort($r))for($x=$y=$a+1;10>$y+=$d;)$r[]=$x.=$y;print_r($r);

try it online.

sorting cost 17 bytes. This version prints the results ordered differently:

while(++$d<9||++$a<9*$d=1)for($x=$y=$a+1;10>$y+=$d;)echo"
