Hi All
I am trying to create a permutation function. I found the
implementation online, but the implementation uses for() loop in the
main() and it has the List as a parameter. All I am trying to do is to
modify the implementation, so that all the loops are in the function
and the parameter is a char array instead of a list.
public static <T> List<T> permute(List<T> list, int r) {
int n= list.size();
int f= fac(n);
: List<T> perm= new ArrayList<T>();

okay, I will check out the books

but why doesn't my code work? I really want to find to solution to
this problem

Thanks

list= new ArrayList<T>(list);
for (list= new ArrayList<T>(list); n > 0; n--, r%= f) {

f/= n;
perm.add(list.remove(r/f));
}

return perm;

}

Check out TAOCP from the library. What does the above do?
