在Java中，这个算法比这个算法更简洁

   public static int permutate2(int number){
        String[] numArray = String.valueOf(number).split("");

        for(int i = numArray.length - 1; i > 0; i--){
            int current = Integer.valueOf(numArray[i]);
            int previous = Integer.valueOf(numArray[i - 1]);

            if(previous < current){
                String[] rest = String.valueOf(number).substring(i, numArray.length).split("");
                Arrays.sort(rest);

                String picker = rest[0];
                int pickerIndex = 0;
                for(int n = 0; n < rest.length ; n++){
                    if(Integer.valueOf(rest[n]) > previous){
                        picker = rest[n];
                        pickerIndex = n;
                        break;
                    }
                }
                numArray[i - 1] = picker;
                rest[pickerIndex] = String.valueOf(previous);
                Arrays.sort(rest);

                String newNumber = "";
                for(int z = 0; z <= i - 1; z++){
                    newNumber += numArray[z];
                }
                for(String z : rest){
                    newNumber += z;

我只测试了两个数字。他们工作。 在去年12月退休之前，我做了8年的IT经理，我关心三件事: 1)准确性:如果它总是有效，那就很好。 2)速度:用户可以接受。 3)明确:我可能没有你聪明，但我付你薪水。确保你用英语解释你在做什么。

奥马尔，祝你好运。

取一个数，把它分成几位数。如果我们有一个5位数，我们就有5位数:abcde

现在交换d和e，并与原来的数字进行比较，如果它更大，你就得到了答案。

如果它不是很大，交换e和c。现在比较，如果它更小，再次交换d和e(注意递归)，取最小的。

一直算下去，直到找到一个更大的数字。通过递归，它应该相当于9行方案，或20行c#。

public static void findNext(long number){

        /* convert long to string builder */    

        StringBuilder s = new StringBuilder();
        s.append(number);
        int N = s.length();
        int index=-1,pivot=-1;

/* from tens position find the number (called pivot) less than the number in right */ 

        for(int i=N-2;i>=0;i--){

             int a = s.charAt(i)-'0';
             int b = s.charAt(i+1)-'0';

             if(a<b){
                pivot = a;
                index =i;
                break;
            }
        }

      /* if no such pivot then no solution */   

        if(pivot==-1) System.out.println(" No such number ")

        else{   

     /* find the minimum highest number to the right higher than the pivot */

            int nextHighest=Integer.MAX_VALUE, swapIndex=-1;

            for(int i=index+1;i<N;i++){

            int a = s.charAt(i)-'0';

            if(a>pivot && a<nextHighest){
                    nextHighest = a;
                    swapIndex=i;
                }
            }


     /* swap the pivot and next highest number */

            s.replace(index,index+1,""+nextHighest);
            s.replace(swapIndex,swapIndex+1,""+pivot);

/* sort everything to right of pivot and replace the sorted answer to right of pivot */

            char [] sort = s.substring(index+1).toCharArray();
            Arrays.sort(sort);

            s.replace(index+1,N,String.copyValueOf(sort));

            System.out.println("next highest number is "+s);
        }

    }

给定n位数字加9。然后检查它是否在限制范围内(第一个(n+1)位数)。如果是，则检查新号码中的数字是否与原号码中的数字相同。 重复加9，直到两个条件都为真。 当数字超过限制时停止算法。

对于这种方法，我想不出一个与之相矛盾的测试用例。

PHP实现
