How to generate all permutations of an array in sorted order?
In C++ you can use std::next_permutation
to go through permutations one by one. You need to sort the characters alphabetically before calling std::next_permutation
for the first time:
cin>>anagrama;
int len = strlen(anagrama);
sort(anagrama, anagrama+len);
do {
cout << anagrama << endl;
} while (next_permutation(anagrama, anagrama+len));
Here is a demo on ideone.
If you must implement permutations yourself, you could borrow the source code of next_permutation
, or choose a simpler way of implementing a permutation algorithm recursively.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
void permute(string select, string remain){
if(remain == ""){
cout << select << endl;
return;
}
for(int i=0;remain[i];++i){
string wk(remain);
permute(select + remain[i], wk.erase(i, 1));
}
}
int main(){
string anagrama;
cout << "input character set >";
cin >> anagrama;
sort(anagrama.begin(), anagrama.end());
permute("", anagrama);
}
Another version
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <iterator>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
void permute(string& list, int level, vector<string>& v){
if(level == list.size()){
v.push_back(list);
return;
}
for(int i=level;list[i];++i){
swap(list[level], list[i]);
permute(list, level + 1, v);
swap(list[level], list[i]);
}
}
int main(){
string anagrama;
vector<string> v;
cout << "input character set >";
cin >> anagrama;
permute(anagrama, 0, v);
sort(v.begin(), v.end());
copy(v.begin(), v.end(), ostream_iterator<string>(cout, "\n"));
}
