A very good article on iterative and recursive algorithms for generating permutations of an array is here:
http://www.cut-the-knot.org/do_you_know/AllPerm.shtml
I shall shamelessly lift the algorithms listed in the page, for my reference here in the blog.
(Just for reference, another good algorithm is described at http://introcs.cs.princeton.edu/java/23recursion/Permutations.java.html)
Recursive algorithm for Permutations
It's executed with a call visit(0). Global variable level is initialized to -1 whereas every entry of the array Value is initialized to 0.

Recursive algorithm for Permutations
void visit(int k) { level = level+1; Value[k] = level; // = is assignment if (level == N) // == is comparison AddItem(); // to the list box else for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) if (Value[i] == 0) visit(i); level = level-1; Value[k] = 0; } void AddItem() { // Form a string from Value[0], Value[1], ... Value[N-1]. // At this point, this array contains one complete permutation. // The string is added to the list box for display. // The function, as such, is inessential to the algorithms. }
Lexigraphic order to find the next permutation
void getNext() { int i = N - 1; while (Value[i-1] >= Value[i]) i = i-1; int j = N; while (Value[j-1] <= Value[i-1]) j = j-1; swap(i-1, j-1); // swap values at positions (i-1) and (j-1) i++; j = N; while (i < j) { swap(i-1, j-1); i++; j--; } }
Heap's short and elegant algorithm is implemented as a recursive method HeapPermute [Levitin, p. 179]. It is invoked with HeapPermute(N).
void HeapPermute(int n) { if (n == 1) AddItem(); else { for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) HeapPermute(n-1); if (n % 2 == 1) // if n is odd swap(0, n-1); else // if n is even swap(i, n-1); }
