## Description
<section id='description'>

A permutation is an ordered arrangement of objects. For example, 3124 is one possible permutation of the digits 1, 2, 3 and 4. If all of the permutations are listed numerically or alphabetically, we call it lexicographic order. The lexicographic permutations of 0, 1 and 2 are:

<div style='text-align: center;'>012   021   102   120   201   210</div>

What is the `n`th lexicographic permutation of the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9?
