Finite Cantor's Diagonal

Question

Given a list of N integers, each with N digits, output a number which differs from the first number because of the first digit, the second number because of the second digit, etc.

Example

Given this list:

1234
4815
1623
4211

The number 2932's first digit is different from the first number's first digit, its second digit is different from the second number's second digit, etc. Therefore it would be a valid output.

Inputs

• You may take both the list and N as input, or only the list if you wish.
• Each integer in the list will necessarily have as many digits as the length of the list (N)
• Numbers will not have any leading zeroes
• The input list must contain numbers and not strings.
• You may take inputs as function arguments, through STDIN, or anything similar.
• You may assume that the list will not be longer than 10 elements (and no number in the list will be bigger than 2147483647)

Outputs

• It is not sufficient that the output is not in the list. The digits must differ as explained above.
• You can use any digit selection strategy that respects the constraint of different digits.
• The number cannot have leading zeroes
• You may output the number through STDOUT, return it from a function, etc.

Test cases

Input:
12345678
23456789
34567890
45678901
56789012
67890123
78901234
89012345

Possible output: 24680246


Input:
1

Possible output: 2

lambda x,n:int(`x`[1::n+3])%(10**n/2)+10**n/9

Thanks to @xnor for golfing off 2 bytes!

Test it on Ideone.

How it works

`x` yields a string representation of the list x.

For the first test case, this gives the string

[92345678, 23456789, 34567890, 45678901, 56789012, 67890123, 78901234, 89012345]

[1::n+3] retrieves every (n + 3)^th character – where n is the length of x starting with the second one. Accounting 2 characters for ,, we retrieve the first digit of the first number, the second digit of the second number, etc.

[92345678, 23456789, 34567890, 45678901, 56789012, 67890123, 78901234, 89012345]
 ^          ^          ^          ^          ^          ^          ^          ^

We now take the number modulo 10ⁿ ÷ 2 to map the first digit in the range [0, 4].

For 93579135, we get 93579135 % 50000000 = 43579135.

Finally, we add 10ⁿ ÷ 9 to the last result, which increments – wrapping around from 9 to 0 – all digits by 1 (no carry) or 2 (with carry).

For 43579135, we get 43579135 + 11111111 = 54690246.

Saved 1 byte thanks Martin!

Requires a trailing linefeed in the input.

Gets diagonals and translates 0 and 2-9 to 1 and 1 to 2.

The basic idea for getting the diagonals is to push a capture for each row above the current row and then consume a capture to match a character, then keep the next character.

1+1>:i.@#{"_1"."0@":"0

Similar approach to the others using the <= 1 and increment method of the diagonal.

Usage

Only requires the list of integers as an argument.

Reng v.3.3, 60 bytes

k1-#kaiír1ø          ~; !nb$<
1[å{$}k*$k1-#k)9(-#oa$;]o)ks^$

For Reng, that was rather simple. Try it here! Input is a space-separated list of numbers.

1: init

k1-#kaiír1ø

k is the number of inputs (number of numbers), and we decrement by 1 and restore for the loop stage. aií takes all input. r reverses the stack for the processing of input. 1ø goes to the next line.

2: loop

1[å{$}k*$k1-#k)9(-#oa$;]o)ks^$

1[ takes the top item off the stack and into a new stack. å splits it into digits. {$} pushes a code block containing the operation "drop"; this is repeated k times (k*) and the code block is dropped ($. k1-#k decrements k. )9( puts 9 at the STOS, and - subtracts TOS from the STOS. #o stores this number in o, and a$; drops all the members of the stack. ] closes the parent stack. o puts o back at the top; this is our digit we're saving. ) moves it to the bottom so that we can continue our looping. s usually checks for non-input (i.e., equality to -1), but we can use it to break out of our loop when k == -1. So s^ goes up when k == -1. $ drops k from the stack, and our loop begins again.

3: final

                     ~; !nb$<

< directs the pointer left, and $ drops k from the stack. b is a leftway mirror, so we enter through it, but it bounce back when hitting ;, a stack-condition mirror. !n prints a digit if and only if we're going left. ~ ends the program when we're done printing.

FromDigits[Mod[#,2]+1&/@Diagonal[IntegerDigits/@#]]&

This follows the approach of Peter Taylor and others (without using Ascii codes).

Answer 17

ClojureScript, 58 chars

#(int(apply str(map-indexed(fn[i x](- 9(get(str x)i)))%)))

Type requirements made this a little longer than necessary, and map-indexed being so many chars didn't help.

Often my submissions are valid Clojure as well, but this is using some of ClojureScript's leakiness with JavaScript. Subtraction of a number and string coerces the string to a number--that is, (- 9 "5") equals 4.

Answer 18

PHP, 46/41/40 bytes

while($a=$argv[++$i])echo($b=9-$a[$i-1])?$b:1;

while($a=$argv[++$i])echo$a[$i-1]==7?6:7;

while($a=$argv[++$i])echo($a[$i-1]%2)+1;

Various digit selectors for comparison. I thought "9-digit" would be shortest, but the special case needed to keep a zero out of the first digit overwhelms it.

Fed from CLI arguments:

php -r "while($a=$argv[++$i])echo($b=9-$a[$i-1])?$b:1;" 12345678 23456789 34567890 45678901 56789012 67890123 78901234 89012345

JavaScript (ES6), 41

The %9+1 trick is borrowed from Suever's answer. For once, .reduce beats .map. Note, the += operator is used to avoid parentheses.

a=>+a.reduce((t,n,d)=>t+=(n+t)[d]%9+1,'')
