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;
                }

                return Integer.valueOf(newNumber);
            }
        }

        return number;
   }

#include<stdio.h>
#include<cstring>
#include<iostream>
#include<string.h>
#include<sstream>
#include<iostream>

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;
}

如果你用c++编程，你可以使用next_permutation:

#include <algorithm>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  using namespace std; 
   string x;
   while (cin >> x) {
    cout << x << " -> ";
    next_permutation(x.begin(),x.end());
    cout << x << "\n";
  }
  return 0;
}

我知道这是一个非常老的问题，但我仍然没有在c#中找到简单的代码。这可能会对参加面试的男士有所帮助。

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {

        int inputNumber = 629;
        int i, currentIndexOfNewArray = 0;

        int[] arrayOfInput = GetIntArray(inputNumber);
        var numList = arrayOfInput.ToList();

        int[] newArray = new int[arrayOfInput.Length];

        do
        {
            int temp = 0;
            int digitFoundAt = 0;
            for (i = numList.Count; i > 0; i--)
            {
                if (numList[i - 1] > temp)
                {
                    temp = numList[i - 1];
                    digitFoundAt = i - 1;
                }
            }

            newArray[currentIndexOfNewArray] = temp;
            currentIndexOfNewArray++;
            numList.RemoveAt(digitFoundAt);
        } while (arrayOfInput.Length > currentIndexOfNewArray);



        Console.WriteLine(GetWholeNumber(newArray));

        Console.ReadKey();


    }

    public static int[] GetIntArray(int num)
    {
        IList<int> listOfInts = new List<int>();
        while (num > 0)
        {
            listOfInts.Add(num % 10);
            num = num / 10;
        }
        listOfInts.Reverse();
        return listOfInts.ToArray();
    }

    public static double GetWholeNumber(int[] arrayNumber)
    {
        double result = 0;
        double multiplier = 0;
        var length = arrayNumber.Count() - 1;
        for(int i = 0; i < arrayNumber.Count(); i++)
        {
            multiplier = Math.Pow(10.0, Convert.ToDouble(length));
            result += (arrayNumber[i] * multiplier);
            length = length - 1;
        }

        return result;
    }
}

这是我在Ruby中的实现:

def foo num  
  num = num.to_s.chars.map(&:to_i)
  return num.join.to_i if num.size < 2
  for left in (num.size-2).downto(0) do
    for right in (num.size-1).downto(left+1) do
      if num[right]>num[left]
        num[left],num[right] = num[right],num[left]        
        return (num[0..left] + num[left+1..num.size-1].sort).join.to_i
      end
    end
  end
  return num.join.to_i
end

p foo 38276 
#will print: 38627

这是我的代码，它是这个例子的修改版本

库:

class NumPermExample
{
    // print N! permutation of the characters of the string s (in order)
    public  static void perm1(String s, ArrayList<String> perm)
    {
        perm1("", s);
    }

    private static void perm1(String prefix, String s, ArrayList<String> perm)
    {
        int N = s.length();
        if (N == 0)
        {
            System.out.println(prefix);
            perm.add(prefix);
        }
        else
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
                perm1(prefix + s.charAt(i), s.substring(0, i)
                    + s.substring(i+1, N));
        }

    }

    // print N! permutation of the elements of array a (not in order)
    public static void perm2(String s, ArrayList<String> perm)
    {
       int N = s.length();
       char[] a = new char[N];
       for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
           a[i] = s.charAt(i);
       perm2(a, N);
    }

    private static void perm2(char[] a, int n, ArrayList<String> perm)
    {
        if (n == 1)
        {
            System.out.println(a);
            perm.add(new String(a));
            return;
        }

        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        {
            swap(a, i, n-1);
            perm2(a, n-1);
            swap(a, i, n-1);
        }
    }  

    // swap the characters at indices i and j
    private static void swap(char[] a, int i, int j)
    {
        char c;
        c = a[i]; a[i] = a[j]; a[j] = c;
    }

    // next higher permutation
    public static int nextPermutation (int number)
    {
        ArrayList<String> perm = new ArrayList<String>();

        String cur = ""+number;

        int nextPerm = 0;

        perm1(cur, perm);

        for (String s : perm)
        {
            if (Integer.parseInt(s) > number
                        && (nextPerm == 0 ||
                            Integer.parseInt(s) < nextPerm))
            {
                nextPerm = Integer.parseInt(s);
            }
        }

            return nextPerm;
    }
}

测试:

public static void main(String[] args) 
{
    int a = 38276;

    int b = NumPermExample.nextPermutation(a);

    System.out.println("a: "+a+", b: "+b);
}
