All The Permutations Of a String
previous NextExample 2
public class PermuteString {
//Function for swapping the characters at position I with character at position j
public static String swapString(String a, int i, int j) {
char[] b =a.toCharArray();

//Function for generating different permutations of the string
public static void generatePermutation(String str, int start, int end)
{
//Prints the permutations
if (start == end-1)
System.out.println(str);
else
{
for (int i = start; i < end; i++)
{
//Swapping the string by fixing a character
str = swapString(str,start,i);
//Recursively calling function generatePermutation() for rest of the characters
generatePermutation(str,start+1,end);

Output :
All the permutations of the string are: ABC ACB BAC BCA CBA CAB
