# Attempted algorithm to find which shortest permutation of a string out of “hard.”

Recently, I have been contemplating on how to find an unknown factorial. To find a particular string of text.

Update- I removed pi.

The formula Z is defined as

L= length of string in character amount

X= how many strings altogether.

D= hamming distance.

Here's an example of Hamming distance.

We can see that the bold characters are the hamming distance. Which is 3 characters.

The algorithm is listed numerically so that it can be easy to follow.

 1 Z = X * X * 1 * L + X * D * D * D

2 S=Z/D

3 B=S/D

4 Y=S/B

5 CL = D * A ≤ X ≤ B * Y

6 P=B*Y

7 B!=P


Suppose we need to find which permutation to select as our closest string. A permutation of 3 characters in a 7 letter word as aforementioned.

Assuming that all possible permutations are used then we select the 107th permutation word.

In other words, lets say we need to find any factorial of P=B*Y. Therefore, we will give any example of using the algorithm

L=7 characters

x=10 strings

d=3 hamming distance

If we plug in the variables we will get B=107 and P=323

So we have 107th permutated string to be the shortest? I'm probably wrong, and was hoping if anyone can tell me.

b!=p

Explanation of b!=p

Here b! is 107 * y which is the quickest factorial to arrive at p. So does P equal possible permutations out of 107 characters? (eg. out of 323 permutations)

To explain what I'm trying to say is that there is a superstring of 323 characters. Within the hamming distance, the 107th permutation should be the closest to the center.
