只是使用python的另一个解决方案:

def PermutationStep(num):
    if sorted(list(str(num)), reverse=True) == list(str(num)):
        return -1
    ls = list(str(num))
    n = 0
    inx = 0
    for ind, i in enumerate(ls[::-1]):
        if i < n:
            n = i
            inx = -(ind + 1)
            break
        n = i
    ls[inx], ls[inx + 1] = ls[inx + 1], ls[inx]

    nl = ls[inx::-1][::-1]
    ln = sorted(ls[inx+1:])
    return ''.join(nl) + ''.join(ln)

print PermutationStep(23514)

输出:

23541

下面是Python中的一个紧凑(但部分是蛮力)解决方案

def findnext(ii): return min(v for v in (int("".join(x)) for x in
    itertools.permutations(str(ii))) if v>ii)

在c++中，你可以这样排列:https://stackoverflow.com/a/9243091/1149664(它与itertools中的算法相同)

以下是Weeble和BlueRaja描述的顶部答案的实现(其他答案)。我怀疑还有什么更好的办法。

def findnext(ii):
    iis=list(map(int,str(ii)))
    for i in reversed(range(len(iis))):
        if i == 0: return ii
        if iis[i] > iis[i-1] :
            break        
    left,right=iis[:i],iis[i:]
    for k in reversed(range(len(right))):
        if right[k]>left[-1]:
           right[k],left[-1]=left[-1],right[k]
           break
    return int("".join(map(str,(left+sorted(right)))))

#include<stdio.h>

using namespace std;
int compare (const void * a, const void * b)

    return *(char*)a-*(char*)b;
}

/*-----------------------------------------------*/

int main()
{
    char number[200],temp;
    cout<<"please enter your number?"<<endl;
    gets(number);
    int n=strlen(number),length;
    length=n;
    while(--n>0)
    {
        if(number[n-1]<number[n])
        {
            for(int i=length-1;i>=n;i--)
            {
                if(number[i]>number[n-1])
                {
                    temp=number[i];
                    number[i]=number[n-1];
                    number[n-1]=temp;
                    break;
                }
            }
            qsort(number+n,length-n,sizeof(char),compare);
            puts(number); 
            return 0;
        }
    }
    cout<<"sorry itz the greatest one :)"<<endl;
}

你可以用O(n)(其中n是位数)这样做:

从右边开始，找到左位数小于右位数的第一对数字。让我们用“digit-x”来表示左边的数字。在数字-x的右边找到比数字-x大的最小的数，并把它放在数字-x的左边。最后，按升序对剩余的数字进行排序——因为它们已经是降序的，所以你所需要做的就是将它们颠倒(除了digit-x，它可以放在O(n)中正确的位置)。

举个例子可以更清楚地说明这一点:

123456784987654321
start with a number

123456784 987654321
         ^the first place from the right where the left-digit is less than the right  
         Digit "x" is 4

123456784 987654321
              ^find the smallest digit larger than 4 to the right

123456785 4 98764321
        ^place it to the left of 4

123456785 4 12346789
123456785123446789
         ^sort the digits to the right of 5.  Since all of them except 
         the '4' were already in descending order, all we need to do is 
         reverse their order, and find the correct place for the '4'

正确性证明:

让我们用大写字母来定义数字字符串，用小写字母来定义数字。语法AB表示“字符串A和B的连接”。<是字典排序，当数字字符串长度相等时，它与整数排序相同。

原始数N是AxB的形式，其中x是个位数，B是降序的。 我们的算法找到的数字是AyC，其中y∈B是最小的数字> x(由于x的选择方式，它必须存在，见上文)，C是升序排序的。

假设有一些数字(使用相同的数字)N'使得AxB < N' < AyC。N'必须以A开头，否则它不可能在它们之间，所以我们可以把它写成AzD的形式。现在我们的不等式是AxB < AzD < AyC，它等价于xB < zD < yC，其中所有三个数字字符串都包含相同的数字。

为了使它成立，我们必须有x <= z <= y，因为y是最小的数字> x, z不能在它们之间，所以z = x或z = y，假设z = x，那么我们的不等式是xB < xD < yC，这意味着B和D都有相同的数字。但是，B是降序的，所以没有比它大的数字的字符串。因此，我们不能让B < D，按照同样的步骤，我们可以看到，如果z = y，我们不能让D < C。

因此N'不存在，这意味着我们的算法正确地找到了下一个最大的数字。

非常简单的实现使用Javascript，下一个最高的数字与相同的数字

/*
Algorithm applied
I) Traverse the given number from rightmost digit, keep traversing till you find a digit which is smaller than the previously traversed digit. For example, if the input number is “534976”, we stop at 4 because 4 is smaller than next digit 9. If we do not find such a digit, then output is “Not Possible”.

II) Now search the right side of above found digit ‘d’ for the smallest digit greater than ‘d’. For “534976″, the right side of 4 contains “976”. The smallest digit greater than 4 is 6.

III) Swap the above found two digits, we get 536974 in above example.

IV) Now sort all digits from position next to ‘d’ to the end of number. The number that we get after sorting is the output. For above example, we sort digits in bold 536974. We get “536479” which is the next greater number for input 534976.

    //returning array 
    //too many functions applied sounds complicated right but no, here is the  trick
    //return arr first then apply each function one by one to see output and then further another func to that output to match your needs
    // so here after swapping , 4th part of alogorithm is to sort the array right after the 1st small num we found
    // to do that first we simple take part of array, we splice it and then we apply sort fucntion, then check output (to check outputs, pls use chrome dev console)
    //and then  simply the rest concat and join to main one digit again.
     return arr1.concat((arr1.splice(i,arr1.length)).sort(function(a, b){return a-b})).join('');



    // Sorry to make it too long but its fun explaining things in much easier ways as much as possible!!
