Simple Task Solved Thrice

Question

You should write 3 programs and/or functions in one language.

All of these programs should solve the same task but they all should give different (but valid) outputs. (I.e. for every pair of programs their should be some input which generates different (but valid) sets of output numbers.)

The task

• You are given an integer n, greater than 1
• You should return or output n distinct positive integers, and none of them should be divisible by n.
• The order of the numbers doesn't matter and a permutation of numbers doesn't count as different outputs.

A valid triplet of programs with some input => output pairs:

program A:
    2 => 5 9
    4 => 5 6 9 10
    5 => 2 4 8 7 1

program B:
    2 => 1 11
    4 => 6 9 1 2
    5 => 4 44 444 4444 44444

program C (differs only in one number from program B):
    2 => 1 13
    4 => 6 9 1 2
    5 => 4 44 444 4444 44444

Scoring

• Your score is the sum of the lengths of the 3 programs or functions.
• Lower score is better.
• If your programs/functions share code, the shared code should be counted into the length of every program that uses the code.

5 bytes:

^LhQQ

Outputs:

2: [1, 3]
3: [1, 4, 16]
4: [1, 5, 25, 125]

Alternate version, in increasing order: -ShQQ

Answer 2

J, 16 bytes

Function 1, 5 bytes

p:^i.

Function 2, 6 bytes

+p:^i.

Function 3, 5 bytes

>:^i.

How it works

Function 1

p:^i.     Right argument: y

   i.     Compute (0 ... y-1).
p:        Compute P, the prime at index y (zero-indexed).
  ^       Return all powers P^e, where e belongs to (0 ... y-1).

Since P is prime and P > y, y cannot divide P^e.

Function 2

+p:^i.    Right argument: y

 p:^i.    As before.
+         Add y to all results.

If y divided P^e + y, it would also divide P^e + y - y = P^e.

Function 3

>:^i.     Right argument: y

   i.     Compute (0 ... y-1).
>:        Compute y+1.
  ^       Return all powers (y+1)^e, where e belongs to (0 ... y-1).

If y divided (y+1)^e some prime factor Q of y would have to divide (y+1)^e.

But then, Q would divide both y and y+1 and, therefore, y + 1 - y = 1.

Answer 4

Vitsy, 54 bytes

Programs:

V1V\[DV*1+N' 'O1+]

V2V\[DV*1+N' 'O1+]

V3V\[DV*1+N' 'O1+]

Outputs:

2 => 3 7
4 => 5 9 13 17
5 => 6 11 16 21 26

2 => 5 7
4 => 9 13 17 21
5 => 11 16 21 26 31

2 => 7 9
4 => 13 17 21 25 
5 => 16 21 26 31 36

How it works (using the first program as the explanation):

V1V\[DV*1+N' 'O1+]
V                  Capture the implicit input as a final global variable.
 1                 Push one to the stack for later use.
  V\[            ] Do everything in the brackets input times.
     D             Duplicate the top item of the stack.
      V            Push the global variable to the stack.
       *1+         Multiply, then add 1. This makes it non-divisible.
          N' 'O    Output the number followed by a space.
               1+  Add one to the number left in the stack.

CJam, 8 + 8 + 8 = 24 bytes

{,:)))+}
{_,f*:)}
{)_(,f#}

These are three unnamed functions which expect n to be on the stack and leave a list of integers in its place. I'm not sure this is optimal, but I'll have to hunting for a shorter solution later.

Test suite.

Results:

{,:)))+}
2 => [1 3]
3 => [1 2 4]
4 => [1 2 3 5]
5 => [1 2 3 4 6]

{_,f*:)}
2 => [1 3]
3 => [1 4 7]
4 => [1 5 9 13]
5 => [1 6 11 16 21]

{)_(,f#}
2 => [1 3]
3 => [1 4 16]
4 => [1 5 25 125]
5 => [1 6 36 216 1296]

The first one also works as

{_),:)^}

or

{_(,+:)}

Answer 6

Perl, 79

One char added to each program because this requires the -n flag.

for$a(0..$_-1){say$_*$a+1}
for$a(1..$_){say$_*$a+1}
for$a(2..$_+1){say$_*$a+1}

Fairly straightforward.

Python 2, 79 bytes

lambda n:range(1,n*n,n)
lambda n:range(1,2*n*n,2*n)
lambda n:range(1,3*n*n,3*n)

Three anonymous function that start at 1 and count up by each of n, 2*n, 3*n for n terms.

Answer 9

Python 2, 125 bytes

N=input();print[i*N+1for i in range(N)]
N=input();print[i*N+1for i in range(1,N+1)]
N=input();print[i*N+1for i in range(2,N+2)]

Each line here is a complete program. The most obvious solution in my mind.

EDIT @Sherlock9 saved two bytes.
