# Do n and n^3 have the same set of digits?

Given a number n (0 <= n <= 2642245), check if n and n3 have the same set of digits, and output a truthy or falsey value accordingly.

For example, let's check the number 100.

1003 is 1000000.

The set of digits in 100 is {0, 1}.

The set of digits in 1000000 is {0, 1}.

Therefore, 100 should give a truthy value.

### Test cases

0 -> True
1 -> True
10 -> True
107624 -> True
251894 -> True
251895 -> False
102343 -> False


Remember, this is , so the code with the fewest bytes wins.

• Proposed test case: 106239 Nov 14, 2016 at 22:41
• Test case: 2103869 -> True. This (or a larger one) is necessary to test a language with a long datatype. Nov 14, 2016 at 22:43
• Too bad the max is too big for language without a 64 bit integer type. Nov 15, 2016 at 7:32
• I think you should be explicit about the base... in binary it's kinda half the fun :-D Nov 15, 2016 at 13:06
• @ZoltánSchmidt 106239 is the smallest positive integer n such that 1199090390129919 – does not contain all digits of n. Some answers were only checking if n contained all digits of and thus got the wrong result for 106239. Nov 17, 2016 at 23:28

# Python 3, 36 32 bytes

lambda x:{*str(x)}=={*str(x**3)}


I think this only works in Python 3.5 and later. Four bytes have gone, thanks to Copper.

• In python 2 you can use backtics as a shortcut for repr(), saving 6 bytes. set(x) Nov 14, 2016 at 19:49
• @DenDenDo Any input larger than 2097152 (sys.maxint**(1/3.)) and less than sys.maxint+1 will return False if you use repr(). repl.it/EXs2/1. Longs have an L at the end. Nov 14, 2016 at 21:03
• Untested, but you can probably do lambda x:{*str(x)}=={*str(x**3)} in Python 3.5+. Nov 14, 2016 at 22:23
• @BenHoyt It's more concise than using print(...) and input(). Making it a function is shorter than making a full program. Nov 15, 2016 at 19:03
• Because the question says returning a truthy or falsy value is enough, you can replace == by ^. Two equal sets lead to {} which is falsy. Nov 17, 2016 at 8:03

# 05AB1E, 6 bytes

Q   # is equal to
¹ê    # input sorted with duplicates removed

• @PuzomorCroatia: 05AB1E uses the CP-1252 encoding, so all these characters are 1 byte each. It is quite common for golfing languages to either use code pages with more printable characters than UTF-8 or alternatively create their own code page. Nov 16, 2016 at 9:06
• Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately, while trying to edit my comment, I deleted it. Just to make things clear to everyone, I asked about encoding of characters in code golfing languages Nov 16, 2016 at 9:09
• @Emigna 05AB1E technically uses its own code page, even though it's pretty much identical to CP-1252. Jan 5, 2021 at 21:19

# C, 73 bytes

k;b(i){k=0;while(i)k|=1<<i%10,i/=10;return k;}f(n){return b(n)-b(n*n*n);}


Creates the set via bits. Returns 0 for same set, anything else for different sets.

Ungolfed:

k;
b(i){
k=0;
while(i)
k|=1<<i%10,
i/=10;
return k;
}

f(n){
return b(n)-b(n*n*n);
}

• The ungolfed code is missing 1 << when setting the bits with k |= 1 << i % 10. Great solution! Nov 15, 2016 at 10:54
• I used this bitmap idea to make a 39 byte x86-64 machine code function :) Nov 17, 2016 at 0:33
• Are we allowed to consider 0 as truthy? I guess strcmp works that way, so it seems reasonable in C. Nov 17, 2016 at 0:55
• This only works for the entire range of inputs required by the question if int larger than 64-bit. (Even signed 64-bit is not enough, but unsigned 64-bit is). So there are no real implementations of C that I know of where this satisfies the question's requirements. (It does work correctly with unsigned long long, or just unsigned long in implementations where that's a 64-bit type). GNU C defines __int128_t on 64-bit machines (without any headers)...

• Yep, you are correct, fixed ! Thank you ! Nov 15, 2016 at 12:30
• Ok, but now some extra spaces left in the code. Not sure why you added the -w explicitly to fold. If uniq is used without options, sort -u can replace it. And feed the 2nd S call with here-string. And I think there is no need to quote the formula passed to bc. Nov 15, 2016 at 13:00
• @manatwork, thx, I've fixed the fold argument, removed spaces, and made the second diff argument use a here-doc. I now also pipe the first argument into diff, and have removed the superfluous quotes around the bc expression. >uniq is used without options, sort -u can replace it. That's just a remnants of previous version (was uniq -u)). Thank you ! Nov 15, 2016 at 13:16

# Or 37 bytes if 0 vs. non-zero is allowed as "truthy", like strcmp.

Thanks to Karl Napf's C answer for the bitmap idea, which x86 can do very efficiently with BTS.

Function signature: _Bool cube_digits_same(uint64_t n);, using the x86-64 System V ABI. (n in RDI, boolean return value (0 or 1) in AL).

_Bool is defined by ISO C11, and is typically used by #include <stdbool.h> to define bool with the same semantics as C++ bool.

Potential savings:

• 3 bytes: Returning the inverse condition (non-zero if there's a difference). Or from inline asm: returning a flag condition (which is possible with gcc6)
• 1 byte: If we could clobber EBX (doing so would give this function a non-standard calling convention). (could do that from inline asm)
• 1 byte: the RET instruction (from inline asm)

All of these are possible if this was an inline-asm fragment instead of a function, which would make it 35 bytes for inline-asm.

0x28: end of function.


LOOP seems like the smallest way to repeat once. I also looked at just repeating the loop (without REX prefixes, and a different bitmap register), but that's slightly larger. I also tried using PUSH RSI, and using test spl, 0xf / jz to loop once (since the ABI requires that RSP is 16B aligned before CALL, so one push aligns it, and another misaligns it again). There's no test r32, imm8 encoding, so the smallest way was with a 4B TEST instruction (including a REX prefix) to test just the low byte of RSP against an imm8. Same size as LEA + LOOP, but with extra PUSH/POP instructions required.

Tested for all n in the test range, vs. steadybox's C implementation (since it uses a different algorithm). In the two cases of different results that I looked at, my code was correct and steadybox's was wrong. I think my code is correct for all n.

_Bool cube_digits_same(unsigned long long n);

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
int main()
{
for(unsigned n=0 ; n<= 2642245 ; n++) {
bool c = f(n);
bool asm_result = cube_digits_same(n);
if (c!=asm_result)
printf("%u problem: c=%d asm=%d\n", n, (int)c, (int)asm_result);
}
}


The only lines printed have c=1 asm=0: false-positives for the C algorithm.

Also tested against a uint64_t version of Karl's C implementation of the same algorithm, and the results match for all inputs.

Nov 18, 2016 at 6:50
• @chx: It's really in assembly language, optimizing for code size. I don't write the hex bytes directly, I just know (or check on) what size each instruction is. (What I posted is from assembling with yasm and then running objdump -drwC -Mintel on the object file, and copying comments). It's a language where optimizing for code size is actually useful in real life. (But even then, only in rare cases like bootloaders or demos. Usually it's only worth saving code size when it doesn't hurt performance in the already-cached case, but then it is useful avoid decode bottlenecks + cache misses) Nov 18, 2016 at 6:58

Nov 18, 2016 at 7:11
• @chx: I only golf occasionally, usually only when I see one in Hot Network Questions that looks reasonable for asm. Usually stuff with numbers, not strings. A few other people do golf in asm, though. I hadn't thought of doing so myself until I saw someone else's machine-code golf answer. Might have been this one that clued me in to the fact that you can count machine code bytes instead of asm source characters for asm answers. anatolyg has posted some, including on this question.

Only works up to 208063 due to JavaScript's limited numeric precision; if you only need it to work up to 1290, you can save another byte. # Perl 6, 22 bytes {!(.comb⊖$_³.comb)}


## Expanded:

{ # bare block lambda with implicit parameter ｢$_｣ !( .comb # get a list of the graphemes ( digits ) ⊖ # Symmetric Set difference$_³.comb # cube and get a list of the graphemes
)
}


The Symmetric Set difference ｢⊖｣ operator returns an empty Set if both sides are equivalent Sets (automatically turns a list into a Set). At that point the only thing left to do is invert it logically.

• You can replace the $_ with just . – Jo King Mar 6, 2019 at 1:51 # C++, 82 bytes t(int a){int b=a*a*a,c,d;while(a|b)c|=1<<a%10,a/=10,d|=1<<b%10,b/=10;return c==d;}  The function t(a) returns the answer. Uses an int as a set.

• @ais523: No, because it translates to (s n==s) (n^3) which gives a type error.

# Brachylog, 11 bytes

doI,?:3^doI


Try it online!

Thanks to @DestructibleWatermelon for pointing out a problem with my original answer.

### Explanation

(?)doI,           I is the Input sorted with no duplicates
?:3^       Compute Input^3
doI    Input^3 sorted with no duplicates is I

## PowerShell v2+, 94 93 bytes

filter f($n){-join("$n"[0..99]|sort|select -u)}
(f($x=$args[0]))-eq(f("[bigint]$x*$x*$x"|iex))  (Newline for clarity, not included in bytecount) The first line defines f as a filter (similar-ish enough to a function for our purposes here to not go into specifics) that takes input $n and does the following:

filter f($n){-join("$n"[0..99]|sort|select -u)}
f($n) # Input "$n"                         # Cast as string
[0..99]                  # Index as char-array
|sort             # Sorted alphabetically
|select -u   # Only select the -Unique elements
-join(                          )  # Join those back together into a string
# Implicit return


The second line takes the input $args, performs f on it, and checks whether it's -equal to f performed on $x cubed. Note the explicit [bigint] cast, required else we'll get the result back in scientific notation, which will obviously not work.

The Boolean result is left on the pipeline, and output is implicit.

Saved a byte thanks to @ConnorLSW

• you can use "$n"[0..99] instead of [char[]]"$n" to save one byte, since the biggest number you'll need to deal with is only about 20 chars in length. Nov 15, 2016 at 15:29
• @ConnorLSW There's that indexing trick again. I'm going to need to remember that. Nov 15, 2016 at 17:21
