Euler problems/171 to 180

Problem 171

Finding numbers for which the sum of the squares of the digits is a square.

Solution: this was Antoine Celeriers C code pasted from the Project Euler Forum.

Problem 172

Investigating numbers with few repeated digits.

Solution:

factorial n = product [1..toInteger n]

fallingFactorial x n = product [x - fromInteger i | i <- [0..toInteger n - 1] ]

choose n k = fallingFactorial n k `div` factorial k

-- how many numbers can we get having d digits and p positions
p172 0 _ = 0
p172 d p 
    | p < 4 = d^p
    | otherwise = 
        (p172' p) +  p*(p172' (p-1)) + (choose p 2)*(p172' (p-2)) + (choose p 3)*(p172' (p-3))
    where
    p172' = p172 (d-1)
 
problem_172= (p172 10 18) * 9 `div` 10

Problem 173

Using up to one million tiles how many different "hollow" square laminae can be formed? Solution:

problem_173=
    let c=div (10^6) 4
        xm=floor$sqrt $fromIntegral c
        k=[div c x|x<-[1..xm]]
    in  sum k-(div (xm*(xm+1)) 2)

Problem 174

Counting the number of "hollow" square laminae that can form one, two, three, ... distinct arrangements.

Solution: This was my C++ code, published here without my permission nor any attribution, shame on whoever put it here. henk263

Problem 175

Fractions involving the number of different ways a number can be expressed as a sum of powers of 2. Solution:

sternTree x 0=[]
sternTree x y=
    m:sternTree y n  
    where
    (m,n)=divMod x y
findRat x y
    |odd l=take (l-1) k++[last k-1,1]
    |otherwise=k
    where
    k=sternTree x y
    l=length k
p175 x y= 
    init$foldl (++) "" [a++","|
    a<-map show $reverse $filter (/=0)$findRat x y]

Problem 176

Rectangular triangles that share a cathetus. Solution:

--k=47547 
--2*k+1=95095 = 5*7*11*13*19
lst=[5,7,11,13,19]
primes=[2,3,5,7,11]
problem_176 =
    product[a^b|(a,b)<-zip primes (reverse n)]
    where
    la=div (last lst+1) 2
    m=map (\x->div x 2)$init lst
    n=m++[la]

Problem 177

Integer angled Quadrilaterals.

Solution: This C++ solution is stolen from balakrishnan. Check out the forum if you want to see his solution to the problem

Problem 178

Step Numbers

Count pandigital step numbers.

data StepState a = StepState { minDigit  :: a
                             , maxDigit  :: a
                             , lastDigit :: a
                             } deriving (Show, Eq, Ord)

isSolution (StepState i a _) = i == 0 && a == 9
neighborStates m s@(StepState i a n) = map (\x -> (x, M.findWithDefault 0 s m)) $
    [StepState (min i (n - 1)) a (n - 1)] ++
    [StepState i (max a (n + 1)) (n + 1)]

allStates    = [StepState i a n | (i, a) <- range ((0, 0), (9, 9)), n <- range (i, a)]
initialState = M.fromDistinctAscList [(StepState i i i, 1) | i <- [1..9]]
stepState m  = M.fromListWith (+) $ allStates >>= neighborStates m
numSolutionsInMap    = sum . map snd . filter (isSolution . fst) . M.toList
numSolutionsOfSize n = sum . map numSolutionsInMap . take n $ iterate stepState initialState

Problem 179

Consecutive positive divisors.

Problem 180

Rational zeros of a function of three variables. Solution:

import Data.Ratio

{-
  After some algebra, we find:
   f1 n x y z = x^(n+1) + y^(n+1) - z^(n+1)
   f2 n x y z = (x*y + y*z + z*x) * ( x^(n-1) + y^(n-1) - z^(n-1) )
   f3 n x y z = x*y*z*( x^(n-2) + y^(n-2) - z^(n-2) )
   f n x y z = f1 n x y z + f2 n x y z - f3 n x y z
   f n x y z = (x+y+z) * (x^n+y^n-z^n)
Now the hard part comes in realizing that n can be negative.  
Thanks to Fermat, we only need examine the cases n = [-2, -1, 1, 2]
Which leads to:

f(-2) z = xy/sqrt(x^2 + y^2)
f(-1) z = xy/(x+y)
f(1)  z = x+y
f(2)  z = sqrt(x^2 + y^2)
