问题
I want to create a C program to generate numbers from 0 to 999999, keeping in mind that the number generated should not have any digits that are repetitive within it. For example, "123" is an acceptable value but not "121" as the '1' is repeated. I have sourced other program codes that check if an integer has repeated digits:
Check if integer has repeating digits. No string methods or arrays
What is the fastest way to check for duplicate digits of a number?
However these do not really solve my problem and they are very inefficient solutions if I were to perform the check for 1,000,000 different values. Moreover, the solution provided is for int and not char[] and char *, which I use in my program. Below is my code thus far. As you can see I have no problems handling values of up to "012", however the possibilities for values with 3 digits and above are too many to list and too inefficient to code. Would appreciate some help.
int i, j;
char genNext[7] = "0";
printf("%s\n", genNext);
// loop through to return next pass in sequence
while (1) {
for (i = 0; i < sizeof(genNext) / sizeof(char); i++) {
if (genNext[i] == '9') {
char * thisPass = strndup(genNext, sizeof(genNext));
int countDigit = (int) strlen(thisPass);
switch (countDigit) {
case 1:
genNext = "01";
break;
case 2:
if (strcmp(genNext, "98")) {
if (i == 0) {
genNext[1] += 1;
} else {
genNext[0] += 1;
genNext[1] == '0';
}
} else {
genNext = "012";
}
break;
case 3:
if (strcmp(genNext, "987")) {
// code to handle all cases
} else {
genNext = "0123";
}
break;
case 4:
case 5:
case 6:
// insert code here
}
break;
} else if (genNext[i] == '\0') {
break;
} else if (genNext[i+1] == '\0') {
genNext[i] += 1;
for (j = 0; j < i; j++) {
if (genNext[i] == genNext[j]) {
genNext[i] += 1;
}
}
} else {
continue;
}
}
printf("%s\n", genNext);
if (strcmp(genNext, "987654") == 0) {
break;
}
}
The main problem that I am facing is the cases when '9' is part of the value that is being tested. For example, the next value in the sequence after "897" is "901" and after "067895" comes "067912" based on the rules of non-repetitiveness as well as sequential returning of the result.
A desired output would be as follows:
0
1
2
3
...
8
9
01
02
03
...
09
10
12
13
...
97
98
012
013
014
...
098
102
103
...
985
986
987
0123
0124
...
etc etc.
Any assistance is appreciated, and if any part of my question was unclear, feel free to clarify. Thanks!
EDIT: How do I generate all permutations of a list of numbers? does not solve my question as the increment from "120398" to "120435" as the next "legal" value in the sequence.
EDIT 2: Updated question to include desired output

There are three variant algorithms below. Adapt variant 3 to suit your requirements.
Variant 1
This is one way to do it. It implements a minor variant of the initialize a table of 10 digit counts to 0; scan the digits, increment the count for each digit encountered, then check whether any of the digit counts is more than 1 algorithm I suggested in a comment. The test function returns as soon as a duplicate digit is spotted.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
enum { MAX_ITERATION = 1000000 };
static bool duplicate_digits_1(int value)
{
char buffer[12];
snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "%d", value);
char digits[10] = { 0 };
char *ptr = buffer;
char c;
while ((c = *ptr++) != '\0')
{
if (++digits[c - '0'] > 1)
return true;
}
return false;
}
int main(void)
{
int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < MAX_ITERATION; i++)
{
if (!duplicate_digits_1(i))
{
count += printf(" %d", i);
if (count > 72)
{
putchar('\n');
count = 0;
}
}
}
putchar('\n');
return 0;
}
When run, it produces 168,571 values between 0 and 1,000,000, starting:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 23 24 25 26 27 28 29

Before you decide this is 'not efficient', measure it. Are you really exercising it often enough that the performance is a real problem?
Variant 2
Creating the alternative version I suggested in the comments: use strchr() iteratively, checking whether the first digit appears in the tail, and if not whether the second digit appears in the tail, and so on is very easy to implement given the framework of the first answer:
static bool duplicate_digits_2(int value)
{
char buffer[12];
snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "%d", value);
char *ptr = buffer;
char c;
while ((c = *ptr++) != '\0')
{
if (strchr(ptr, c) != NULL)
return true;
}
return false;
}
When the times are compared I got these results (ng41 uses duplicate_digits_1() and ng43 uses duplicate_digits_2().
$ time ng41 > /dev/null
real 0m0.175s
user 0m0.169s
sys 0m0.002s
$ time ng43 > /dev/null
real 0m0.201s
user 0m0.193s
sys 0m0.003s
$
Repeated timings generally showed similar results, but sometimes I got ng43 running faster than ng41 — the timing on just one set of one million numbers isn't clear cut (so YMMV — your mileage may vary!).
Variant 3
You could also use this technique, which is analogous to 'count digits' but without the conversion to string first (so it should be quicker).
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <string.h>
enum { MAX_ITERATION = 1000000 };
static bool duplicate_digits_3(int value)
{
char digits[10] = { 0 };
while (value > 0)
{
if (++digits[value % 10] > 1)
return true;
value /= 10;
}
return false;
}
int main(void)
{
int count = 0;
const char *pad = "";
for (int i = 0; i < MAX_ITERATION; i++)
{
if (!duplicate_digits_3(i))
{
count += printf("%s%d", pad, i);
pad = " ";
if (count > 72)
{
putchar('\n');
count = 0;
pad = "";
}
}
}
putchar('\n');
return 0;
}
Because it avoids conversions to strings, it is much faster. The slowest timing I got from a series of 3 runs was:
real 0m0.063s
user 0m0.060s
sys 0m0.001s
which is roughly three times as fast as either of the other two.
Extra timing
I also changed the value of MAX_ITERATION to 10,000,000 and ran timing. There are many more rejected outputs, of course.
$ time ng41 >/dev/null
real 0m1.721s
user 0m1.707s
sys 0m0.006s
$ time ng43 >/dev/null
real 0m1.958s
user 0m1.942s
sys 0m0.008s
$ time ng47 >/dev/null
real 0m0.463s
user 0m0.454s
sys 0m0.004s
$ ng41 | wc
69237 712891 5495951
$ ng43 | wc
69237 712891 5495951
$ ng47 | wc
69237 712891 5495951
$ cmp <(ng41) <(ng43)
$ cmp <(ng41) <(ng47)
$ cmp <(ng43) <(ng47)
$
These timings were more stable; variant 1 (ng41) was always quicker than variant 2 (ng43), but variant 3 (ng47) beats both by a significant margin.
JFTR: testing was done on macOS Sierra 10.12.1 with GCC 6.2.0 on an old 17" MacBook Pro — Early 2011, 2.3GHz Intel Core i7 with 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM — not that memory is an issue with this code. The program numbers are consecutive 2-digit primes, in case you're wondering.
Leading zeros too
This code generates the sequence of numbers you want (though it is only configured to run up to 100,000 — the change for 1,000,000 is trivial). It's fun in a masochistic sort of way.
#include <assert.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
enum { MAX_ITERATIONS = 100000 };
/* lz = 1 or 0 - consider that the number has a leading zero or not */
static bool has_duplicate_digits(int value, int lz)
{
assert(value >= 0 && value < MAX_ITERATIONS + 1);
assert(lz == 0 || lz == 1);
char digits[10] = { [0] = lz };
while (value > 0)
{
if (++digits[value % 10] > 1)
return true;
value /= 10;
}
return false;
}
int main(void)
{
int lz = 0;
int p10 = 1;
int log_p10 = 0; /* log10(0) is -infinity - but 0 works better */
int linelen = 0;
const char *pad = "";
/* The + 1 allows the cycle to reset for the leading zero pass */
for (int i = 0; i < MAX_ITERATIONS + 1; i++)
{
if (i >= 10 * p10 && lz == 0)
{
/* Passed through range p10 .. (10*p10-1) once without leading zeros */
/* Repeat, adding leading zeros this time */
lz = 1;
i = p10;
}
else if (i >= 10 * p10)
{
/* Passed through range p10 .. (10*p10-1) without and with leading zeros */
/* Continue through next range, without leading zeros to start with */
p10 *= 10;
log_p10++;
lz = 0;
}
if (!has_duplicate_digits(i, lz))
{
/* Adds a leading zero if lz == 1; otherwise, it doesn't */
linelen += printf("%s%.*d", pad, log_p10 + lz + 1, i);
pad = " ";
if (linelen > 72)
{
putchar('\n');
pad = "";
linelen = 0;
}
}
}
putchar('\n');
return 0;
}

Using a loop (from 0 to 999,999, inclusive), and rejecting values with repeating digits sounds like the most straightforward implementation to me.
The reject-if-duplicate-digits function can be made to be pretty fast. Consider, for example,
int has_duplicate_digits(unsigned int value)
{
unsigned int digit_mask = 0U;
do {
/* (value % 10U) is the value of the rightmost
decimal digit of (value).

This is actually a classical combinatorial problem. Below is a proof of concept implementation using Algorithm L in TAOCP 7.2.1.2 and Algorithm T in TAOCP 7.2.1.3. There might be some errors. Refer to the algorithms for details.
Here is a bit of explanation. Let t be the number of digits. For t == 10, the problem is to generate all t! permutations of the set {0,1,2,...,9} in lexicographic order (Algorithm L).
For t > 0 and t < 10, this breaks down to 1) Generate all combinations of t digits from the 10 possible digits. 2). For each combination, generate all t! permutations.
Last, you can sort all 10! + 10! / 2 + 10! / 3! + .. + 10 results. The sorting might look expensive at first. But first, the combination generating is already in lexical order. Second, the permutation generating is also in lexical order. So the sequence is actually highly regular. A QSort is not really too bad here.

Efficiency: This is implementation is not very efficient. It is a direct translation from the algorithm, for easier understanding. However it is still a lot more efficient than iterating over 10^10 numbers. It takes about 2.5 seconds to generate all numbers from 0 to 9876543210. This includes the time of writing them to a file, a 94MB output file, with one number a line. For up to 6 digits, it takes about 0.05 seconds.
If you want these numbers come in the order you want in program, it might be better to generate the numbers as above to prepare a table and use the table later. Even for the table from 0 to 9876543210, there are less than ten million numbers, which is not a really big number in today's computers. In your case, up to six digits, there are only less than one million numbers.
