使用递归。

当输入是空字符串时，唯一的排列就是空字符串。尝试将字符串中的每个字母作为第一个字母，然后使用递归调用找到其余字母的所有排列。

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

class Permutation {
    private static List<String> permutation(String prefix, String str) {
        List<String> permutations = new ArrayList<>();
        int n = str.length();
        if (n == 0) {
            permutations.add(prefix);
        } else {
            for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
                permutations.addAll(permutation(prefix + str.charAt(i), str.substring(i + 1, n) + str.substring(0, i)));
            }
        }
        return permutations;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<String> perms = permutation("", "abcd");

        String[] array = new String[perms.size()];
        for (int i = 0; i < perms.size(); i++) {
            array[i] = perms.get(i);
        }

        int x = array.length;

        for (final String anArray : array) {
            System.out.println(anArray);
        }
    }
}

这可以通过简单地在前面部分结果的所有位置依次插入字符串的每个字母来迭代完成。

我们以[A]开头，与B连成[BA, AB]，与C连成[CBA, BCA, BAC, CAB等]。

运行时间将是O(n!)，对于测试用例ABCD，它是1 x 2 x 3 x 4。

在上面的乘积中，1是A, 2是B，以此类推。

飞镖示例:

void main() {

  String insertAt(String a, String b, int index)
  {
    return a.substring(0, index) + b + a.substring(index);
  }

  List<String> Permute(String word) {

    var letters = word.split('');

    var p_list = [ letters.first ];

    for (var c in letters.sublist(1)) {

      var new_list = [ ];

      for (var p in p_list)
        for (int i = 0; i <= p.length; i++)
          new_list.add(insertAt(p, c, i));

      p_list = new_list;
    }

    return p_list;
  }

  print(Permute("ABCD"));

}

简单的解决方案，利用swift语言的特点，数组是值类型。

func permutation(chrs: [String], arr: [String], result: inout [[String]]) {
   if arr.count == chrs.count {
       result.append(arr)
       return
   }

   for chr in chrs {
       var arr = arr
       if !arr.contains(chr) {
           arr.append(chr)
           permutation(chrs: chrs, arr: arr, result: &result)
       }
   }
}

func test() {
   var result = [[String]]()
   let chrs = ["a", "b", "c", "d"]
   permutation(chrs: chrs, arr: [], result: &result)
}

复杂度O(n * n!)

基于Mark Byers的回答，我想出了这个解决方案:

JAVA

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        myPerm("ABCD", 0);
    }

    private static void myPerm(String str, int index)
    {
        if (index == str.length()) System.out.println(str);

        for (int i = index; i < str.length(); i++)
        {
            char prefix = str.charAt(i);
            String suffix = str.substring(0,i) + str.substring(i+1);

            myPerm(prefix + suffix, index + 1);
        }
    }
}

C#

我还使用新的c# 8.0范围操作符在c#中编写了该函数

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            myPerm("ABCD", 0);
        }

        private static void myPerm(string str, int index)
        {
            if (index == str.Length) Console.WriteLine(str);

            for (int i = index; i < str.Length; i++)
            {
                char prefix = str[i];
                string suffix = str[0..i] + str[(i + 1)..];

                myPerm(prefix + suffix, index + 1);
            }
        }
    

我们只是把每个字母放在开头，然后排列。 第一次迭代是这样的:

/*
myPerm("ABCD",0)  
  prefix = "A"  
  suffix = "BCD"  
  myPerm("ABCD",1)  
    prefix = "B"  
    suffix = "ACD"  
    myPerm("BACD",2)  
      prefix = "C"  
      suffix = "BAD"  
      myPerm("CBAD",3)  
        prefix = "D"  
        suffix = "CBA"  
        myPerm("DCBA",4)  
          Console.WriteLine("DCBA")
*/
