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;
}

解决方案(在Java中)可能是以下(我相信这里的朋友可以找到更好的): 从字符串的末尾开始交换数字，直到得到一个更高的数字。 也就是说，首先从下位开始移动。然后到达下一个更高的地方，直到你到达下一个更高的地方。 然后对剩下的进行排序。 在你的例子中，你会得到:

38276 --> 38267 (smaller) --> 38627 Found it    
    ^        ^                  ^        

 public static int nextDigit(int number){
    String num = String.valueOf(number);        
    int stop = 0;       
    char [] chars = null;
    outer:
        for(int i = num.length() - 1; i > 0; i--){          
            chars = num.toCharArray();
            for(int j = i; j > 0; j--){
                char temp = chars[j];
                chars[j] = chars[j - 1];
                chars[j - 1] = temp;
                if(Integer.valueOf(new String(chars)) > number){
                    stop = j;                   
                    break outer;                                
                }               
            }               
        }

    Arrays.sort(chars, stop, chars.length); 
    return Integer.valueOf(new String(chars));
}

Ruby的解决方案

def next_bigger(num)
  char_array = num.to_s.split('')
  return -1 if char_array.uniq.size == 1

  arr, target_idx, target_char = [], nil, nil
  # get first left-digit less than the right from right side
  (char_array.count - 1).times do |i|
    arr.unshift(char_array[-(i+1)])

    if char_array[-(i+2)] < char_array[-(i+1)]
      target_idx = char_array.count - (i + 2)
      target_char = char_array[-(i+2)]
      arr.unshift(char_array[-(i+2)])
      break
    end
  end
  return -1 unless target_idx

  # first smallest digit larger than target_char to the right
  ((target_char.to_i + 1)..9).to_a.each do |ch|
    if arr.index(ch.to_s)
      flip_char = arr.delete_at(arr.index(ch.to_s))
      # sort the digits to the right of flip_char
      arr.sort!
      # place flip_char to the left of target_char
      arr.unshift(flip_char)
      break
    end
  end

  (char_array[0...target_idx] + arr).join().to_i
end

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);
}

 private static int GetNextHigherNumber(int num)
        {
            //given 38276 return 38627

            string numberstring = num.ToString();

            char[] sNum = numberstring.ToCharArray();

            for (int i = sNum.Length - 1; i > 0; i--)
            {
                for (int j = i - 1; j > 0; j--)
                {
                    if (sNum[i] > sNum[j])
                    {
                        for (int x = i; x > j; x--)
                        {
                            char chr = sNum[x]; 
                            sNum[x] = sNum[x - 1];
                            sNum[x - 1] = chr;
                        }

                        i = 0;
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }

            numberstring = string.Empty;
            for(int x= 0 ; x<sNum.Length;x++)
            {
                numberstring += sNum[x].ToString();
            }

            return Convert.ToInt32(numberstring);
        }

这是另一个Java实现，可以开箱即用，并通过测试完成。 这个解决方案是O(n)个空间和时间，使用老式的动态规划。

如果你想用蛮力，有两种蛮力:

排列所有的东西，然后选择最小值更高的:O(n!) 与此实现类似，但不是DP，而是强制填充的步骤 indexToIndexOfNextSmallerLeft映射将在O(n²)中运行。
