# Jumping Numbers

A jumping number is defined as a positive number n which all pairs of consecutive decimal digits differ by 1. Also, all single digit numbers are considered jumping numbers. eg. 3, 45676, 212 are jumping numbers but 414 and 13 are not. The difference between 9 and 0 is not considered as 1

The challenge Create a program that output one of the following results:

• Given an input n output the first n jumping numbers.
• Given an input n output the nth term of the sequence.

Note

• Any valid I/O format is allowed
• 1-index or 0-index is allowed (please specify)

Here are some jumping numbers:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 21, 23, 32, 34, 43, 45, 54, 56, 65, 67, 76, 78, 87, 89, 98, 101, 121, 123, 210, 212, 232, 234, 321, 323, 343, 345, 432, 434, 454, 456, 543, 545, 565, 567, 654, 656, 676, 678, 765, 767, 787, 789, 876, ...

• Is this 0 or 1 Indexed? – Taylor Scott Mar 1 at 17:19
• @TaylorScott The sequence consists in only positive numbers. If you mean the input n then it is up to you. – Luis felipe De jesus Munoz Mar 1 at 17:20
• I'm guessing "Any valid I/O format is allowed" includes outputting the numbers as lists of decimal digits, but just wanted to confirm - ? – Jonathan Allan Mar 1 at 18:04
• Yes @JonathanAllan – Luis felipe De jesus Munoz Mar 1 at 18:27

### How?

Acceptable incremental differences between digits are 1 and -1 while others from [-9,-2]+[2,9] are not. This lines up with integers which are invariant when raised to themselves. i.e. $$\x^x=x\$$ since:

$$0^0=1$$ $$1^1=1$$ $$2^2=4$$ $$\cdots$$ $$-1^{-1}=-1$$ $$-2^{-2}=-\frac{1}{4}$$ $$\cdots$$

1DI*ƑƊ# - Main Link: no arguments (accepts a line of input from STDIN)
# - count up keeping the first (input) n matches...
Ɗ  - ...match function: last three links as a monad:  e.g. 245       777      7656
D       -   convert to a list of decimal digits                 [2,4,5]   [7,7,7]  [7,6,5,6]
I      -   incremental differences                             [2,1]     [0,0]    [-1,-1,1]
Ƒ   -   invariant under?:
    -     using left argument as both inputs of:
*     -       exponentiation (vectorises)                     [4,1]     [1,1]    [-1,-1,1]
- implicitly print the list of collected values of n

### Explanation

µ          # Get the nth number, starting from 0, such that...
Ä       #   The absolute values
N¥        #   Of the delta's of N
P      #   Are all 1 (product function, basically acts as a reduce by AND)

f=lambda n,i=1:n and-~f(n-g(i),i+1)
g=lambda i:i<10or i%100%11%9==g(i/10)>0


Try it online!

Derived from Chas Brown's answer. The helper function g(i) returns whether i is a jumping number. Iff the last two digits of a number n have absolute difference 1, then n%100%11 will be either 1 or 10, so n%100%11%9 will be 1.

• Nice trick with the %11. You can do f=lambda n,i=1:n and-~f(n-g(i),i+1) if you switch to one-indexing. – xnor Mar 2 at 5:01

1+⍣{∧/1=|2-/⍎¨⍕⍺}⍣⎕⊢0


Try it online!

Explanation

We have f⍣g⍣h, where, as ⍣ is an operator, APL translates this to (f⍣g)⍣h. (In contrast with functions where 2×3+1 is translated 2×(3+1))

1+⍣{...}⍣⎕⊢0  This is equivalent to
"do {check} we find the n-th integer that fulfils {check}"

(our jumping number check in {}) returns true.
⍣⎕    We take input n (⎕) and repeat (⍣) the above n times
to get the n-th jumping number.

{∧/1=|2-/⍎¨⍕⍺}  The dfn that checks for jumping numbers.

⍎¨⍕⍺   We take the base-10 digits of our left argument
by evaluating each character of the string representation of ⍺.
|2-/        Then we take the absolute value of the pairwise differences of the digits
∧/1=            and check if all of the differences are equal to 1.

• 10⊥⍣¯1⊢⍺ -> ⍎¨⍕⍺ – ngn Mar 6 at 10:52
• it's much shorter with ⍣ instead of recursion: {1+⍣{∧/1=|2-/⍎¨⍕⍺}⍣⍵⊢0} or 1+⍣{∧/1=|2-/⍎¨⍕⍺}⍣⎕⊢0 – ngn Mar 6 at 11:05
• "⍣ is an operand" - it's an "operator" (i this mistake in chat and corrected it, but it seems you picked up the initial version. sorry) – ngn Mar 6 at 18:53

• This appears to answer the question "is this a jumping number?" for a given input number, which isn't what the challenge asked for. – Joseph Sible Mar 1 at 18:57
• @JosephSible You are correct. Thank you for noting. – Jonathan Frech Mar 1 at 23:34
• Also, now that that's fixed, you can make g 3 bytes shorter by rewriting it to be pointfree, then using <*>: g=all((==1).abs).(zipWith(-)<*>tail).map(read.pure).show – Joseph Sible Mar 2 at 4:02
