Print all permutations of a string in java
Java program for Print all permutations of a string. Here more information.
// Java program for
// Print all permutations of a string
public class Permutation
{
// Swapping two string elements by index
public String swap(String text, int size, int a, int b)
{
// Check valid location of swap element
if ((a >= 0 && a < size) && (b >= 0 && b < size))
{
// Get first character
char first = text.charAt(a);
// Get second character
char second = text.charAt(b);
// Put character
text = text.substring(0, b) +
first + text.substring(b + 1);
text = text.substring(0, a) +
second + text.substring(a + 1);
}
return text;
}
// Method which is print all permutations of given string
public void findPermutation(String text, int n, int size)
{
if (n > size)
{
return;
}
if (n == size)
{
System.out.println(text);
return;
}
for (int i = n; i < size; ++i)
{
// Swap the element
text = swap(text, size, i, n);
findPermutation(text, n + 1, size);
// Swap the element
text = swap(text, size, i, n);
}
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Permutation task = new Permutation();
String text = "ABC";
int size = text.length();
task.findPermutation(text, 0, size);
System.out.println();
text = "abcd";
size = text.length();
task.findPermutation(text, 0, size);
}
}
