Tables
The Verhoeff algorithm can be implemented using three tables: a multiplication table d, a permutation table p, and an inverse table inv.
The first table, d, is based on multiplication in the dihedral group D5.
| d(j,k) | k | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | ||
| j | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
| 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 0 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 5 | |
| 2 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 5 | 6 | |
| 3 | 3 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 8 | 9 | 5 | 6 | 7 | |
| 4 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 9 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | |
| 5 | 5 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 0 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | |
| 6 | 6 | 5 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 1 | 0 | 4 | 3 | 2 | |
| 7 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 9 | 8 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 4 | 3 | |
| 8 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 9 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 4 | |
| 9 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | |
The second table, p, applies a permutation to each digit based on its position in the number. The positions of the digits are counted from right to left, starting with zero. The permutation repeats after eight rows (the row for pos=8 is identical to the row for pos=0, etc.). Storage space can be reduced using the fact that this is actually a single permutation (1 5 8 9 4 2 7 0)(3 6) applied iteratively; i.e. p(i+j,n) = p(i, p(j,n)).
| p(pos,num) | num | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | ||
| pos (mod 8) |
0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
| 1 | 1 | 5 | 7 | 6 | 2 | 8 | 3 | 0 | 9 | 4 | |
| 2 | 5 | 8 | 0 | 3 | 7 | 9 | 6 | 1 | 4 | 2 | |
| 3 | 8 | 9 | 1 | 6 | 0 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 | 7 | |
| 4 | 9 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 6 | 8 | 7 | 0 | |
| 5 | 4 | 2 | 8 | 6 | 5 | 7 | 3 | 9 | 0 | 1 | |
| 6 | 2 | 7 | 9 | 3 | 8 | 0 | 6 | 4 | 1 | 5 | |
| 7 | 7 | 0 | 4 | 6 | 9 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 5 | 8 | |
The third table, inv, represents the multiplicative inverse of a digit in the dihedral group D5: in other words, for any j, the inv table shows the value k such that d(j,k) = 0.
| j | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| inv(j) | 0 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |

Famous quotes containing the word tables:
“O these encounterers, so glib of tongue,
That give a coasting welcome ere it comes,
And wide unclasp the tables of their thoughts
To every ticklish reader! Set them down
For sluttish spoils of opportunity
And daughters of the game.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The evening falters. Couples in their coats
Are leaving gaps already, and the rest
Move tables closer.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Eddie Felson: Church of the Good Hustler.
Charlie: Looks more like a morgue to me. Those tables are the slabs they lay the stiffs on.
Eddie Felson: I’ll be alive when I get out, Charlie.”
—Sydney Carroll, U.S. screenwriter, and Robert Rossen. Eddie Felson (Paul Newman)
