A string permutation code that uses an algorithm that generates permutations.

The order of the given strings is changed and all are displayed. Character strings containing the same duplicated characters are processed as they are duplicated. n! Character strings are output.

C For the algorithm, I referred to "Latest Algorithm Dictionary in C Language" (written by Haruhiko Okumura) by Gijutsu-Hyoronsha. If you have a terminal C development environment, you can easily compile.

to compile: cc kuu.c -o kuu Usage: kuu word

kuu.c


#include	<stdio.h>
#include	<stdlib.h>
#include	<string.h>
#define	TRUE	1
#define	FALSE	0
int		N;
int		p[256];
int		count;
int		ok[257];
char	word[256];

void	show(void) {
	int	i;
	
	count++; printf("%12d: ",count);
	for(i=0;i<N;i++) {
		printf("%c",word[p[i]-1]);
		}
	printf("\n");
}

void	put(int pos,int k) {
	int j;
	p[pos]=k;
	if (pos==N-1) show();
	else {
		ok[k]=FALSE;
		for(j=1;j<=N;j++)
			if(ok[j]) put(pos+1,j);
		ok[k]=TRUE;
		}
}

void genperm1(void)
{
	int	k;

	count=0;
	for(k=1;k<=N;k++) ok[k]=TRUE;
	for(k=1;k<=N;k++) put(0,k);

}

int	main(int argc,char *argv[])
{
	if (argc!=2) {
		fprintf(stderr,"Usage kuu word\n");
		exit(1);
		}
	sscanf(argv[1],"%s",word);
	N=strlen(word);
	genperm1();
}

python

If you write it using permutations of itertools, it will be like this. It's a lot refreshing.

kuu.py


#!/usr/bin/python3
import sys
import itertools

word = sys.argv[1]
i=1
for p in itertools.permutations(word, len(word)):
    print("%8d" % i, ':', ''.join(p))
    i+=1

Execution result

$ kuu alice
           1: alice
           2: aliec
