以下是我在《破解编程面试》(P54)一书中提出的解决方案:

/**
 * List permutations of a string.
 * 
 * @param s the input string
 * @return  the list of permutations
 */
public static ArrayList<String> permutation(String s) {
    // The result
    ArrayList<String> res = new ArrayList<String>();
    // If input string's length is 1, return {s}
    if (s.length() == 1) {
        res.add(s);
    } else if (s.length() > 1) {
        int lastIndex = s.length() - 1;
        // Find out the last character
        String last = s.substring(lastIndex);
        // Rest of the string
        String rest = s.substring(0, lastIndex);
        // Perform permutation on the rest string and
        // merge with the last character
        res = merge(permutation(rest), last);
    }
    return res;
}

/**
 * @param list a result of permutation, e.g. {"ab", "ba"}
 * @param c    the last character
 * @return     a merged new list, e.g. {"cab", "acb" ... }
 */
public static ArrayList<String> merge(ArrayList<String> list, String c) {
    ArrayList<String> res = new ArrayList<>();
    // Loop through all the string in the list
    for (String s : list) {
        // For each string, insert the last character to all possible positions
        // and add them to the new list
        for (int i = 0; i <= s.length(); ++i) {
            String ps = new StringBuffer(s).insert(i, c).toString();
            res.add(ps);
        }
    }
    return res;
}

字符串"abcd"的运行输出:

第一步:合并[a]和b: [ba, ab] 步骤2:Merge [ba, ab]和c: [cba, bca, bac, cab, acb, abc] 第三步:Merge [cba, bca, bac, cab, acb, abc]和d: [dcba, cdba, cbad, cbca, bdcad

public class StringPermutation {

// Function to print all the permutations of str
static void printPermutn(String str, String ans) {

    // If string is empty
    if (str.length() == 0) {
        System.out.print(ans + " ");
        return;
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) {

        // ith character of str
        char ch = str.charAt(i);

        // Rest of the string after excluding
        // the ith character
        String ros = str.substring(0, i) + str.substring(i + 1);

        // Recurvise call
        printPermutn(ros, ans + ch);
    }
}


public static void main(String[] args) {
    String s = "ABC";
    printPermutn(s, "");
}

}

我定义了左右两个字符串。一开始，左边是输入字符串，右边是“”。我递归地从左边选择所有可能的字符，并将其添加到右边的末尾。然后，在left-charAt(I)和right+charAt(I)上调用递归函数。我定义了一个类来跟踪生成的排列。

import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;

public class FindPermutations {

    static class Permutations {
        Set<String> permutations = new HashSet<>();
    }

    /**
     * Building all the permutations by adding chars of left to right one by one.
     *
     * @param left         The left string
     * @param right        The right string
     * @param permutations The permutations
     */
    private void findPermutations(String left, String right, Permutations permutations) {
        int n = left.length();
        if (n == 0) {
            permutations.permutations.add(right);
        }
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            findPermutations(left.substring(0, i) + left.substring(i + 1, n), right + left.charAt(i), permutations);
        }
    }

    /**
     * Gets all the permutations of a string s.
     *
     * @param s The input string
     * @return all the permutations of a string s
     */
    public Permutations getPermutations(String s) {
        Permutations permutations = new Permutations();
        findPermutations(s, "", permutations);
        return permutations;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        FindPermutations findPermutations = new FindPermutations();
        String s = "ABC";
        Permutations permutations = findPermutations.getPermutations(s);
        printPermutations(permutations);
    }

    private static void printPermutations(Permutations permutations) {
        for (String p : permutations.permutations) {
            System.out.println(p);
        }
    }

}

我希望这能有所帮助。

如果有人想要生成排列来做一些事情，而不是通过void方法打印它们:

static List<int[]> permutations(int n) {

    class Perm {
        private final List<int[]> permutations = new ArrayList<>();

        private void perm(int[] array, int step) {
            if (step == 1) permutations.add(array.clone());
            else for (int i = 0; i < step; i++) {
                perm(array, step - 1);
                int j = (step % 2 == 0) ? i : 0;
                swap(array, step - 1, j);
            }
        }

        private void swap(int[] array, int i, int j) {
            int buffer = array[i];
            array[i] = array[j];
            array[j] = buffer;
        }

    }

    int[] nVector  = new int[n];
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) nVector [i] = i;

    Perm perm = new Perm();
    perm.perm(nVector, n);
    return perm.permutations;

}
