a=1;b=0;c=0;d=0;p=0; cycle:if(a==b or a==c or a==d or b==c or b==d or c==d, goto loop, goto next); loop:print a*1000+b*100+c*10+d," ",;p=p+1; next:d++;if(d<10, goto cycle, 0);d=0;c++;if(c<10, goto cycle, 0);d=0;c=0;b++;if(b<10, goto cycle,0);b=0;c=0;d=0;a++;if(a<10, goto cycle,0);print"Total = ",p

 

OUTPUT =4,464 integers - have at least 2 repeated digits out of total of 9,000 integers.

So x =4,464 / 9,000 = 62 / 125 =49.6%

There are  9*10*10*10 = 9000  4 digit numbers

 

There are  9*9*8*7 = 4536 that do not have repeating digits.

 

SO there are 9000-4536 = 4464 that do

 

x = 4464/9000*100 = 49.6
