Java program to check for Fascinating Number

Write a Program in Java to input a number and check whether it is a Fascinating Number or not..
Fascinating Numbers : Some numbers of 3 digits or more exhibit a very interesting property. The property is such that, when the number is multiplied by 2 and 3, and both these products are concatenated with the original number, all digits from 1 to 9 are present exactly once, regardless of the number of zeroes.
Let’s understand the concept of Fascinating Number through the following example:
Consider the number 192,
192 x 1 = 192
192 x 2 = 384
192 x 3 = 576
Concatenating the results : 192384576
It could be observed that ‘192384576’ consists of all digits from 1 to 9 exactly once. Hence, it could be concluded that 192 is a Fascinating Number.
Some examples of fascinating Numbers are : 192, 219, 273, 327, 1902, 1920, 2019 etc.

import java.util.*;
class FascinatingNumber
{
    boolean isUnique(String q)

        {
            ch = q.charAt(i);
            A[ch-48]++;
            /*  increasing A[5] if ch='5' as '5'-48 = 53-48=5
             *  (ASCII values of '0' to '9' are 48 to 57) */
        }
 
        for(i=1; i<10; i++)
        {
            //checking if every digit from '1' to '9' are present exactly once or not
            if(A[i]!=1)
            {
                flag = 1; //flag is set to 1 if frequency is not 1
                break;
            }
        }
 
        if(flag == 1)
            return false;
        else
            return true;
    }
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        FascinatingNumber ob = new FascinatingNumber();
 
        System.out.print("Enter a number : ");
        int n = sc.nextInt();
        String p = Integer.toString(n); //converting the number to String
 
        if(p.length()<3)
            System.out.println("Number should be of atleast 3 digits.");
 
        else
        {
            String s = Integer.toString(n*1) + Integer.toString(n*2) + Integer.toString(n*3);
            /*  Joining the first, second and third multiple of the number
             *  by converting them to Strings and concatenating them*/
            if(ob.isUnique(s))
                System.out.println(n+" is a Fascinating Number.");
            else
                System.out.println(n+" is not a Fascinating Number.");
        }      
    }
}

Output:

Enter a number : 273
273 is a Fascinating Number.
 
Enter a number : 853
853 is not a Fascinating Number.
 
Enter a number : 95
Number should be of atleast 3 digits.
