New Numbers
A number is new if its digits are not a permutation of a smaller number. For instance, 789 is a new number because its permutations (879, 798, 897, 978, and 987) are all larger than it is. However, 645 is not a new number since 456 and 465 are smaller than it.
Write a function that takes an integer and returns true if it is a new number and false otherwise.
Examples
(new-number? 789) ;=> true
(new-number? 645) ;=> false
(new-number? 444) ;=> true (it's permutations are not smaller than it)Bonus: You may find a clever way to write new-number?. In addition to that implementation, implement it in such a way that the definition (no permutations are smaller) is clear from the code.
