Finding permutations in strings
In C++ the Standard Template Library provides us with std::next_permutation to easily implement this. [code language="cpp"] #include <iostream> #include <algorithm> #include <iterator> #include <string.h> int main() { char str[] = "abcd"; const size_t len = strlen( str ); do { std::copy( str, str + len, std::ostream_iterator<char>( std::cout ) ); std::cout << std::endl; } while ( std::next_permutation( str, str + len ) ); return 0; } [/code]
