Mixed Radix Next Digits

Advance a mixed-radix tuple forward by one in most-significant-first lexicographic order, returning null rather than wrapping at boundaries.

Description

Advance a mixed-radix tuple forward by one in most-significant-first lexicographic order, returning null rather than wrapping at boundaries.

A mixed-radix successor carries across position-specific radices. It can advance a product-space index without enumeration.

When to use this tool

Advance a mixed-radix tuple forward by one in most-significant-first lexicographic order, returning null rather than wrapping at boundaries.

  • Prepare the supplied digits, radices fields for this operation.
  • Compare the complete example with the representation used by your own input before carrying the result into another step.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter digits, radices. Use the exact text syntax, units and index conventions explained below.
  2. Run the tool. If input validation fails, correct the supplied fields before interpreting any result.
  3. Read result.digits. Interpret false, null and empty lists using the distinctions below; they can be valid outputs.

Encode valid aligned digits/radices, add one and decode if below the product of radices. At the final vector return null.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • Radices range from 1 to one million. The rightmost digit is least significant; there is no cyclic wraparound.
  • All declared input fields are required and unexpected top-level fields are rejected. Numbers must be finite; lists are limited to 128 entries and ordinary text fields to 8,192 UTF-16 code units, with tighter limits where stated.
  • JSON text inputs must parse within bounded nesting and size limits. Numeric outputs outside the safe finite range are rejected; large exact integer results use decimal strings. Indexes and half-open spans are zero-based unless a rank is explicitly described as one-based.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Retain the universe size, subset size and ordering convention with a rank. Use rank/unrank pairs from the same convention and distinguish subset masks from lexicographic indexes.
