Project Euler > Problem 49 > Prime permutations (Java Solution)

Problem:

The arithmetic sequence, 1487, 4817, 8147, in which each of the terms increases by 3330, is unusual in two ways: (i) each of the three terms are prime, and, (ii) each of the 4-digit numbers are permutations of one another.

There are no arithmetic sequences made up of three 1-, 2-, or 3-digit primes, exhibiting this property, but there is one other 4-digit increasing sequence.

What 12-digit number do you form by concatenating the three terms in this sequence?


Solution:

296962999629


Code:
The solution may include methods that will be found here: Library.java .

public interface EulerSolution{

public String run();

}
