# Increment an Array

Given a nonempty array of positive integers, "increment" it once as follows:

• If all the array elements are equal, append a 1 to the end of the array. For example:

[1] -> [1, 1]
[2] -> [2, 1]
[1, 1] -> [1, 1, 1]
[3, 3, 3, 3, 3] -> [3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 1]

• Else, increment the first element in the array that is the array's minimum value. For example:

[1, 2] -> [2, 2]
[2, 1] -> [2, 2]
[3, 1, 1] -> [3, 2, 1] -> [3, 2, 2] -> [3, 3, 2] -> [3, 3, 3]
[3, 4, 9, 3] -> [4, 4, 9, 3] -> [4, 4, 9, 4] -> [5, 4, 9, 4] -> [5, 5, 9, 4] -> ...


(Each -> represents one increment, which is all your program needs to do.)

Output the resulting incremented array.

The shortest code in bytes wins.

• Does 0 count as positive integer – Downgoat Nov 28 '16 at 23:14
• @Downgoat 0 is not ever positive on PPCG. If 0 was allowed, the term would be "non-negative" – ETHproductions Nov 28 '16 at 23:23

# Jelly, 8 7 bytes

‘;ṀỤḢṬ+


### How it works

‘;ṀỤḢṬ+  Main link. Argument: A

‘        Increment all elements of A.
Ṁ      Yield the maximum of A.
;       Concatenate both results. Note that the appended maximum will be the
minimum of the resulting array if and only if all elements of A are equal.
Ụ     Grade up; yield the indices of the resulting array, sorted by their
corresponding values in that array.
Ḣ    Head; extract the first index, which is the index of the first occurrence
of the minimum. For an array of equal elements, this will be the index
of the appended maximum.
Ṭ   Untruth; for index i, yield an array of i-1 zeroes, followed by a 1.
+  Add this array to A, incrementing the minimum or appending a 1.


# Python 3, 625351 50 bytes

Function which modifies the list passed to it (allowed by meta).

def F(a):a+=1//len({*a})*[0];a[a.index(min(a))]+=1


Try on repl.it!

-9 bytes thanks to Lynn for spotting that, because the array will be of positive integers, I can append '0' to the end of the array and have that incremented.

Special thanks to mbomb007 for golfing len(set(a)) to len({*a}), and Dennis for the floordiv trick!

• Hmm. "Output the resulting incremented array". Does this qualify? – Yytsi Nov 28 '16 at 20:02
• I can't quite remember where, but I remember seeing a meta post that modifying a given list in place is allowed by default. I'll have a look for it @TuukkaX – FlipTack Nov 28 '16 at 20:04
• @TuukkaX I'm not entirely sure. It seems ok but I'll defer to the meta concensus about modifying arrays in place, if there is one. – Calvin's Hobbies Nov 28 '16 at 20:04
• In Python 3, you can use len({*L})<2 to find if all elements of a list are equal. – mbomb007 Nov 28 '16 at 21:20
• a+=1//len({*a})*[0] should save a byte. – Dennis Nov 29 '16 at 0:17

# JavaScript (ES6), 61 bytes

a=>new Set(a).size>1?++a[a.indexOf(Math.min(...a))]:a.push(1)


Outputs by modifying its argument. I can't find a way to determine whether an array has only one unique item in less that 17 bytes, but suggestions are welcome.

### Test snippet

f=a=>new Set(a).size>1?++a[a.indexOf(Math.min(...a))]:a.push(1)
g=a=>0 in a?console.log("Input:",[${a}],"Output:",[${f(a),a}]):console.log("Invalid input")

g([1])
g([2])
g([1,1])
g([1,2,2,3])
g([2,2,2,3])
g([3,2,2,3])
g([3,3,2,3])
g([3,3,3,3])
g([3,3,3,3,1])
<input id=I value="1,2,2,3"><button  onclick="g(I.value.match(/\d+/g)||[])">Run</button>

### Other attempts

Here are a few alternate ways of deciding whether the array has more than one unique input:

a=>a.some(x=>x-a[0])?++a[a.indexOf(Math.min(...a))]:a.push(1)
a=>a.some(x=>x-m,m=Math.min(...a))?++a[a.indexOf(m)]:a.push(1)


Both of the somes can be replaced with find as well. .sort would be shorter for finding the minimum, if the default sort wasn't lexicographical (why, JS, why?):

a=>new Set(a).size>1?++a[a.indexOf(a.sort()[0])]:a.push(1)
// Instead we have to do:
a=>new Set(a).size>1?++a[a.indexOf(a.sort((x,y)=>x-y)[0])]:a.push(1)


I tried recursion to find the minimum, but it turned out way longer:

f=(a,n=1,q=a.indexOf(n))=>~q?a.some(x=>x-n)?++a[q]:a.push(1):f(a,n+1)


And here's a string-based solution which seemed like a good idea at first: (input is given in array format in a string, e.g. "[1,2,3]")

a=>a.replace(m=/(\d+),(?!\1)/.test(a)?Math.min(...eval(a)):']',+m+1||",1]")

• Is using a.find(n=>n==Math.min(...a)) shorter? – Downgoat Nov 28 '16 at 23:13
• @Downgoat I'm not sure how I'd use that, as it returns the item rather than the index – ETHproductions Nov 28 '16 at 23:15
• yeah >_> whoops, I missed your ++ and didn't realize you needed a reference – Downgoat Nov 28 '16 at 23:16

# Mathematica, 7057 55 bytes

Virtually all of the improvement is due to Martin Ender, who kicks my ass at pattern matching approaches! Also JHM came up with essentially the same solution at essentially the same time. (byte count uses ASCII encoding)

±{p:x_ ..}:={p,1};±{x___,y_,z___}/;y≤x~Min~z:={x,y+1,z}


Defines a function ± taking one list argument. If that list argument contains some number of copies of the same element (detected by x_.. and named p), then output the list with a 1 appended. Otherwise, if that list argument has a special element y (with x being the zero or more elements before y, and z being the zero or more elements after y) which is at most the minimum of the other elements, then output the list with that y incremented. Any instance of the minimum element of the list will be matched by y, but fortunately Mathematica chooses the first one to act upon.

• Because ± is a 2-byte character, your code is 59 bytes long. Also, there must be a space between x_ and .. because Mathematica interprets x_.. as x_. . (which throws errors). Plus, the infix form of Min (x~Min~z) would make this 2 bytes shorter (which makes this solution identical to one of mine :p ...) Welp you can take the credit because my edit was later than yours.... – JungHwan Min Nov 29 '16 at 1:08
• Nah, Martin Ender gets most of my credit anyway. Why is ± two bytes? – Greg Martin Nov 29 '16 at 3:31
• @GregMartin ± in UTF-8 (Mathematica uses UTF-8 by default; try $CharacterEncoding) is a two-byte character (U+00B1). – JungHwan Min Nov 29 '16 at 4:12 • @JHM UTF-8 is not the default character encoding on Windows. Mathematica can read source files in a single-byte code page that includes ±. – Martin Ender Nov 29 '16 at 5:49 • @ASimmons My fresh Mathematica installation on Windows, which has $CharacterEncoding set to WindowsANSI which is CP1252 (which is sufficiently compatible with ISO 8859-1 for ± and · to be usable for a single byte). – Martin Ender Nov 29 '16 at 18:30

• I can't help you with C++, but I can say: Welcome to PPCG! – Zgarb Nov 29 '16 at 10:25
• I think you don't need the spaces in the #include lines. – Christian Sievers Nov 29 '16 at 10:29
• Oh thank you I just realized it myself :) – Neop Nov 29 '16 at 10:30
• Replacing the function with a lambda (auto i=[](auto&l){...};) saves one byte (more if we count the return type you forgot ;) ), using ^ instead of == and swapping the operands saves another. std::list's iterators are certainly std:: classes, so you can drop std:: from both std::count and std::min_element thanks to ADL (-10). l.front() is also *b (-7). I end up with a 120-byte auto i=[](auto&l){auto e=end(l),b=begin(l);l.size()^count(b,e,*b)?void(++*find(b,e,*min_element(b,e))):l.push_back(1);}; :) – Quentin Nov 30 '16 at 19:50
• While we're at it, the documentation for std::min_element states that it returns the first smallest element, so the find() is superfluous, that's 11 bytes. In the conditional, using a pair of parentheses and the comma operator to coerce the right expression to int is shorter than casting the left one to void by 2 bytes. This leads to auto i=[](auto&l){auto e=end(l),b=begin(l);l.size()^count(b,e,*b)?++*min_element(b,e):(l.push_back(1),0);};, 142 bytes :) – Quentin Dec 1 '16 at 9:03

## Scratch, 25 34 blocks + 7 6 bytes

Takes input as a predefined array of integers. Note that arrays are 1-indexed in Scratch.

In Python, this would look like: (Note that unlike Scratch, Python is 0-indexed)

lowval = 0
hival = 0
n = 1
for i in range(len(input)):
if(input[i] < input[lowval]):
lowval = i
if(input[i] > input[hival]):
hival = i
# No increment statement needed because python.
if(lowval == hival):
input.append(1)
else:
input[lowval] += 1
print(input)

Then from the types return:: a->r->a and (>>=)::(r->a)->(a->r->b)->(r->b) their implementation is (dare I say it?) obvious: return=const and m>>=f = \r->f(m r)r.

Edit: Corrected and shortened (twice!) thanks to stewie-griffin. • Welcome to PPCG! There are some flaws in this code. sum(a)/length(a)==a(1) doesn't guarantee that all elements are equal, it only shows that the average is equal to a(1). A simpler way to do this would be mean(a)==a(1). numel is one byte shorter than length, but since you know all values are positive, you can use nnz which is even shorter (it would still not give the correct result in this challenge, but it's shorter at least :P ). If you take the min(a) call in front of the loop, you may use both outputs from it and check is all elements of a are equal to min(a). – Stewie Griffin Nov 29 '16 at 15:51 • You are right! it fails when the mean is equal the number in the first element. I think my new one is correct though and also shorter. The logic is that if the remaining elements don't equal the first element, a(a~=a(1)) returns the remaining elements which by definition is greater than 0 in a non-same array. Then counting and not should give the correct logic I think. If it's still wrong please let me know, I've only been coding for a few years and I still have a long ways left. – Owen Morgan Nov 29 '16 at 18:05 • ~nnz(a(a~=a(1))) is simply ~nnz(a-a(1)). Also, you don't need the parentheses. if ~nnz(a-a(1));a=[a,1];else[~,I]=min(a);a(I)=a(I)+1;end. This should be 5 bytes shorter (note: I haven't tested it). – Stewie Griffin Dec 6 '16 at 15:55 • You can save 3 bytes by using range(a) instead of nnz(a-a(1)) – MattWH Dec 9 '16 at 20:21 • @boboquack, that code checks if the number of elements in a is equal to the lowest value in that vector. A vector a = [3 4 6] will result in true, and a vector a = [4 4 6] will result in false. I don't think that will be useful here...? – Stewie Griffin Dec 12 '16 at 0:50 Clojure, 112 100 bytes Unfortunately min-key returns the last index of the smallest index, not the first one. This works for integer inputs and shorter arrays than 10^9 elements ;) Edit: Defining an anonymous function, using (apply = a) instead of (= 1(count(set a))).

Ungolfed:

incrementArray :: [Int] -> [Int]
incrementArray xs | and [x == y | x <- xs, y <- xs] = xs ++ [1]
| otherwise = g xs (minimum xs)
where g (x:xs) m | x == m = (x + 1):xs
g (x:xs) m | otherwise = x:g xs m
g [] _ = []


Initial attempt, will try to come up with something more sophisticated later.

• Why not make a separate function instead of using where? – Michael Klein Nov 29 '16 at 3:45

# Wonder, 44 bytes

@[dp1unq#0?:=#[:0(iO f\min#0)#0+1f]#0?++#0 1


This is not what I had in mind when I made this language... It's literally worse than Perl in terms of readability!

Usage:

(@[dp1unq#0?:=#[:0(iO f\min#0)#0+1f]#0?++#0 1])[3 4 9 3]


# Explanation

@[
dp 1 unq #0
? set #[
get 0 (iO f\ min #0) #0
+ 1 f
] #0
? con #0 1
]


Basically checks if dropping 1 item from the unique subset of the argument makes the list empty. If not, then we increment the minimum of the array. Otherwise, we simply concatenate 1 to the argument.

## Kotlin, 75 bytes

fun a(s:MutableList<Int>){if(s.toSet().size<2)s+=0;s[s.indexOf(s.min())]++}


Modifies the function argument.

Damn you strong typing! :MutableList<Int> accounts for 17 bytes alone. I don't think there is a solution where the type can be inferred, unfortunately.
