这就是我通过对排列和递归函数调用的基本理解所做的。虽然要花点时间，但都是独立完成的。

public class LexicographicPermutations {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    String s="abc";
    List<String>combinations=new ArrayList<String>();
    combinations=permutations(s);
    Collections.sort(combinations);
    System.out.println(combinations);
}

private static List<String> permutations(String s) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    List<String>combinations=new ArrayList<String>();
    if(s.length()==1){
        combinations.add(s);
    }
    else{
        for(int i=0;i<s.length();i++){
            List<String>temp=permutations(s.substring(0, i)+s.substring(i+1));
            for (String string : temp) {
                combinations.add(s.charAt(i)+string);
            }
        }
    }
    return combinations;
}}

生成输出为[abc, acb, bac, bca, cab, cba]。

它背后的基本逻辑是

对于每个字符，将其视为第一个字符，并找出剩余字符的组合。例[abc](abc的组合)->。

a->[bc](a x Combination of (bc))->{abc,acb} b->[ac](b x组合(ac))->{bac,bca} c->[ab](c x Combination of (ab))->{cab,cba}

然后递归地分别调用每个[bc]，[ac]和[ab]。

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, "");
}

}

//循环'整个字符数组，并保持'i'作为你的排列的基础，并像你交换[ab, ba]一样继续寻找组合

public class Permutation {
    //Act as a queue
    private List<Character> list;
    //To remove the duplicates
    private Set<String> set = new HashSet<String>();

    public Permutation(String s) {
        list = new LinkedList<Character>();
        int len = s.length();
        for(int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
            list.add(s.charAt(i));
        }
    }

    public List<String> getStack(Character c, List<Character> list) {
        LinkedList<String> stack = new LinkedList<String>();
        stack.add(""+c);
        for(Character ch: list) {
            stack.add(""+ch);
        }

        return stack;
    }

    public String printCombination(String s1, String s2) {
        //S1 will be a single character
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        String[] strArr = s2.split(",");
        for(String s: strArr) {
            sb.append(s).append(s1);
            sb.append(",");
        }       
        for(String s: strArr) {
            sb.append(s1).append(s);
            sb.append(",");
        }

        return sb.toString();
    }

    public void printPerumtation() {
        int cnt = list.size();

        for(int i = 0; i < cnt; i++) {
            Character c = list.get(0);
            list.remove(0);
            List<String> stack = getStack(c, list);

            while(stack.size() > 1) {
                //Remove the top two elements
                String s2 = stack.remove(stack.size() - 1);
                String s1 = stack.remove(stack.size() - 1);
                String comS = printCombination(s1, s2);
                stack.add(comS);
            }

            String[] perms = (stack.remove(0)).split(",");
            for(String perm: perms) {
                set.add(perm);
            }

            list.add(c);
        }

        for(String s: set) {
            System.out.println(s);
        }
    }
}

在这里和其他论坛给出的所有解决方案中，我最喜欢Mark Byers。这个描述实际上让我自己思考并编写了代码。 可惜我不能投票支持他的解决方案，因为我是新手。 无论如何，这是我对他的描述的实现

public class PermTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        String str = "abcdef";
        StringBuffer strBuf = new StringBuffer(str);
        doPerm(strBuf,0);
    }

    private static void doPerm(StringBuffer str, int index){

        if(index == str.length())
            System.out.println(str);            
        else { //recursively solve this by placing all other chars at current first pos
            doPerm(str, index+1);
            for (int i = index+1; i < str.length(); i++) {//start swapping all other chars with current first char
                swap(str,index, i);
                doPerm(str, index+1);
                swap(str,i, index);//restore back my string buffer
            }
        }
    }

    private  static void swap(StringBuffer str, int pos1, int pos2){
        char t1 = str.charAt(pos1);
        str.setCharAt(pos1, str.charAt(pos2));
        str.setCharAt(pos2, t1);
    }
}   

我更喜欢这个解决方案，而不是第一个解决方案，因为这个解决方案使用StringBuffer。我不会说我的解决方案没有创建任何临时字符串(它实际上在system.out.println中创建，其中调用StringBuffer的toString())。但我只是觉得这比第一个解决方案好太多的字符串字面值被创建。可能有些性能人员可以根据“内存”来评估这一点(对于“时间”来说，由于额外的“交换”，它已经滞后了)

这是一个C解:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <stdlib.h>


char* addLetter(char* string, char *c) {
    char* result = malloc(sizeof(string) + 2);
    strcpy(result, string);
    strncat(result, c, 1);
    return result;
}

char* removeLetter(char* string, char *c) {
    char* result = malloc(sizeof(string));
    int j = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < strlen(string); i++) {
        if (string[i] != *c) {
            result[j++] = string[i];
        }
    }
    result[j] = '\0';

    return result;
}

void makeAnagram(char *anagram, char *letters) {

    if (*letters == '\0') {
        printf("%s\n", anagram);
        return;
    }

    char *c = letters;
    while (*c != '\0') {
        makeAnagram(addLetter(anagram, c),
                    removeLetter(letters, c));
        c++;
    }

}

int main() {

    makeAnagram("", "computer");

    return 0;
}

改进的代码相同

    static String permutationStr[];
    static int indexStr = 0;

    static int factorial (int i) {
        if (i == 1)
            return 1;
        else
            return i * factorial(i-1);
    }

    public static void permutation(String str) {
        char strArr[] = str.toLowerCase().toCharArray();
        java.util.Arrays.sort(strArr);

        int count = 1, dr = 1;
        for (int i = 0; i < strArr.length-1; i++){
            if ( strArr[i] == strArr[i+1]) {
                count++;
            } else {
                dr *= factorial(count);
                count = 1;
            }       
        }
        dr *= factorial(count);

        count = factorial(strArr.length) / dr;

        permutationStr = new String[count];

        permutation("", str);

        for (String oneStr : permutationStr){
            System.out.println(oneStr);
        }
    }

    private static void permutation(String prefix, String str) {
        int n = str.length();
        if (n == 0) {
            for (int i = 0; i < indexStr; i++){
                if(permutationStr[i].equals(prefix))
                    return;
            }        
            permutationStr[indexStr++] = prefix;
        } else {
            for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
                permutation(prefix + str.charAt(i), str.substring(0, i) + str.substring(i + 1, n));
            }
        }
    }
