VampireNumber Java task, code explanation with the number 1827: 1827 (Number that we are checking) 0123 (Indexes of digits, in code they are named: first, second, third & fourth) The first and second number that are multiplied are illustrated combined as one (the first half of the calculated numbers is the first multiple, and the second half - the second) For example, the number 1278 is actually 12 and 78 and they are multiplied to check for the result This is done like that to better illustrate how the numbers change Cycle: Swap 1 with 3 (indexes): 1827 1728 1782 1287 1278 1872 2178 2871 2817 2718 2781 2187 NOTE: 2187 is the answer, so the code would stop here, but this example is continued to the end 7281 7182 7128 7821 7812 7218 8712 8217 8271 8172 8127 8721 1827 (Here the cycles end) Cycle: it rotates the last 3 digits, for example if we have 123,the 3 gets in the front and the others move back, i.e. 312 1 2 3 => 3 1 2 ^-----' Swap 1 with 3: as the name suggests, it makes a second version of the number by swapping the 1st (index) and 2nd (index) digit 0 1 2 3 => 0 3 2 1 ^---^ -the swap is there because with the cycle we miss out on half of the possible numbers
