Count of N-digit numbers with all distinct digits

Last Updated : 13 Mar, 2023

Given an integer N, the task is to find the count of N-digit numbers with all distinct digits.
Examples:

Input: N = 1
Output: 9
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are the 1-digit numbers
with all distinct digits.
Input: N = 3
Output: 648

Naive Approach: If N > 10 i.e. there will be atleast one digit which will be repeating hence for such cases the answer will be 0 else for the values of N = 1, 2, 3, …, 9, a series will be formed as 9, 81, 648, 4536, 27216, 136080, 544320, … whose N^th term will be 9 * 9! / (10 – N)!.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the factorial of n
int factorial(int n)
{
    if (n == 0)
        return 1;
    return n * factorial(n - 1);
}
 
// Function to return the count
// of n-digit numbers with
// all distinct digits
int countNum(int n)
{
    if (n > 10)
        return 0;
    return (9 * factorial(9)
            / factorial(10 - n));
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 3;
 
    cout << countNum(n);
 
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java implementation of the approach
class GFG
{ 
     
    // Function to return the factorial of n
    static int factorial(int n)
    {
        if (n == 0)
            return 1;
        return n * factorial(n - 1);
    }
     
    // Function to return the count
    // of n-digit numbers with
    // all distinct digits
    static int countNum(int n)
    {
        if (n > 10)
            return 0;
        return (9 * factorial(9) / 
                    factorial(10 - n));
    }
     
    // Driver code
    public static void main(String []args)
    {
        int n = 3;
        System.out.println(countNum(n)); 
    }
}

Output

Time Complexity: O(n)

Auxiliary Space: O(n)

Efficient Approach: We have to fill (n) places with different digit. Like we n=2 then (_ _) places to fill. first place we fill (1 to 9) any number. let we fill 9 in first place then in second place we have choice (0 to 8). So for first place we 9 choices because we can not fill 0 at first place and after that for 2nd place we 9 choice and for 3rd place we 8 choice then so on…

let we take 4 digit no so ( 9choice 9 choice 8 choice 7choice) .

Choices->

first place -9

second place-9

third place -8

fourth place -7

and so on…….
