Task

Write some code that can be rearranged into n different programs in n different languages each outputting a distinct number from 1 to n.

No two languages should be the same however different versions of "the same language" will be considered distinct languages, as long as they have different major version numbers. For this challenge REPL environments are not distinct from their parent languages but are still a language. Each language should run on a distinct permutation of the source code and output a distinct number in the range.

Permutations will be counted in bytes not in characters.

You should include each permutation that is run with the language that it is run in for testing purposes.

Scoring

Your score will be the

Scoring equation

Where N is the number of languages and L is the number of unique orderings of the programs bytes.

L is not equal to the length of the program

(unless the program is 1 or 0 bytes)

Here is a python script to calculate L courtesy of Conor O'Brien.

L is equal to the length of the program factorial if and only if there are no repeated bytes in the program.

The goal is to maximize your score.

are comments allowed? – Adám – 2017-05-09T19:05:11.167

@Adám There would be no reasonable way to ban comments – Post Rock Garf Hunter – 2017-05-09T19:06:28.763

So if # is the comment symbol in 5 languages, good solution would be 1#2345 – Adám – 2017-05-09T19:06:31.437

@Adám that gives you a score of 1/6. I'm sure a score of 1 is easily possible with a 2-byte program (or a 1-byte program for that matter). And adding more digits reduces your score. – Martin Ender – 2017-05-09T19:08:28.800

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_fours maybe? I don't know enough programming languages to work this out for myself but repeating characters doesn't cost you as much in the denominator. – Giuseppe – 2017-05-09T19:44:13.760

Does it have to be distinct numbers from 1 to n? Can we just output distinct integers? – Rɪᴋᴇʀ – 2017-05-09T19:51:10.650

@Riker No they have to be 1-n – Post Rock Garf Hunter – 2017-05-09T19:52:01.543

Same score for a 1 byte single language entry, no? – Adám – 2017-05-09T19:30:35.857

@Adám yeah, like 1 in R, for example – Giuseppe – 2017-05-09T19:32:12.160

@Giuseppe Or any other language that outputs numbers without any specific command like echo or print. – Adám – 2017-05-09T19:32:48.973

5In jelly, this outputs 0, so 2 languages => score=2 – Mr. Xcoder – 2017-05-09T19:34:44.653

5@Mr.Xcoder No that is not how the scoring works. You must output 1 through n and each should be on a separate permutation. – Post Rock Garf Hunter – 2017-05-09T19:53:53.907

Um, the score is infinity (or NaN), not 1. – Steve Bennett – 2017-05-10T05:15:46.067

@Steve Nope. The number of permutations of a length 0 program is 0! = 1. – Brian McCutchon – 2017-05-10T05:39:59.150

2 languages, 2 bytes, score 1

Doesn't beat Leo's answer, but I thought I'd present a 2-language solution (well, and Wheat Wizard ninja'd a score-2 answer in between anyway).

Retina, prints 1

2`

Try it online!

This is essentially the same as Leo's empty program.

Pyth, prints 2

`2

This is repr(2) so it computes "2" which gets printed as 2.

btw Applescript which can be seen in my answer works without a REPL, but does require -- for comments. If you add -- you can probably also work in at least one type of haskell. – Post Rock Garf Hunter – 2017-05-11T06:59:24.213

You also don't need all the characters you have 6 can be replaced with 2*3 in the first instance and 8*2 when it is being used to make 16. You could probably do the same with some of the other digits. (I see you have already dumped 0) – Post Rock Garf Hunter – 2017-05-11T07:01:24.643

Right now I think you should aim to minimize the number of characters in your source, removing a single character will currently multiply your score by 44. Grouping characters is also not a bad idea, In my answer I repeat 2 and 3 because repeats contribute less to the count. – Post Rock Garf Hunter – 2017-05-11T07:06:17.263

Ruby has print btw, so you don't need the u from the puts. If you use printf in bash and print in batch, you can also get rid of some characters there. (cho) – Post Rock Garf Hunter – 2017-05-11T07:12:28.363

@WheatWizard Thank you so much for the suggestion (and the upvote! :)) But, unfortunately, I can't implement them. Doing so will require me to update all the TIO links that I have linked to in my answer before reading your comments, as well as updating all the solutions. I, currently, don't posses enough potential to perform that!
