<p>this may be simple but i cant find this anywhere:What does it mean for a number to have its digits distinct?</p>
<p>[Digit</a> – from Wolfram MathWorld](<a href=“http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Digit.html]Digit”>Digit -- from Wolfram MathWorld)</p>
<p>It means that no two of the digits of the number are the same.</p>
<p>I find it fascinating you post this in the MIT forum.</p>

<p>@travfar: lol, i cant think of a more suiting place</p>
<p>so 1000 is not disticnt and neither is 5045 (becuase of the repeating zeros and fives, respectively) but 1234 and 4321 are dictinct?</p>
<p>1234 has distinct digits. So does 4321. 1000 and 5045 do not.</p>
<p>hahaha cgarcia, I love that post.</p>
