Re: Permutation and Combination how to find rank?

Sorry.

My question is wrong. It will have multiple solutions.

Digits function is O.K

(16:20) gp > digits(256^3-1,256)

%554 = [255, 255, 255]

Is there any reverse function is available ( By giving vector [255, 255, 255] i will get 256^3-1.

regards,

? digits(64235,256)

Nice it is giving for two variable ok, if we extend adding more varialbe how to solve as follwos

x*256+y = N ( x,y <= 255)

255*256+255 = 65536

if x*256+y = 40000

y = 40000 % 256 = 64

x = 39936/256 = 156

156*256+64 = 40000

Here Mod will give y then we can calculate x.

In the same way if we extend the equation as follow

x*256 + y*256 + z = N ( x,y,z <= 255)

x*256 + y*256 + z = 104583

ANS: 158 * 256 + 250 * 256 + 135

gp > digits(104583,256)
%530 = [1, 152, 135]

how to get x,y,z using PARI how to solve fast.

how to get x,y,z using PARI how to solve.

Thank you for your reply.

In 256^2 let us take 235,250 and 250,235, 0,250 (0-255 total 256 values)

235,250 will occur on 235*256+ 250 = 60410

250,235 will occur on 250*256 + 235 = 64235.

0, 250 will occur on 0*256 + 250 = 250

I want to know any function available in PARI to tell by giving 64235 to get 250 and 255 and reverse. In same way for higher power also ( 256^3 - three combination and permutation, 256^4 - four combination and permutation and so on.)

I'm not sure what you're asking. You can use numtoperm and permtonum to convert a number to a permutation and vice versa:

> permtonum([3,1,2])
%1 = 4
> numtoperm(3,%)
%2 = [3, 1, 2]

Hi ,

How to find rank in permutation and combination. For example

256^2 will give all possible permutation and combination. I want know at 50000

what combination will come? Using Pari how to calculate.
