在尝试显示数组字符的每个组合而不重复字母时遇到问题。
public static String[] getAllLists(String[] elements, int lengthOfList)
{
//initialize our returned list with the number of elements calculated above
String[] allLists = new String[(int)Math.pow(elements.length, lengthOfList)];
//lists of length 1 are just the original elements
if(lengthOfList == 1) return elements;
else
{
//the recursion--get all lists of length 3, length 2, all the way up to 1
String[] allSublists = getAllLists(elements, lengthOfList - 1);
//append the sublists to each element
int arrayIndex = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < elements.length; i++)
{
for(int j = 0; j < allSublists.length; j++)
{
//add the newly appended combination to the list
allLists[arrayIndex] = elements[i] + allSublists[j];
arrayIndex++;
}
}
return allLists;
}
}
上面的代码很完美,但在这种情况下不止一次地使用每个字母。
我现在被困住了。

这是一个示例实现。本质上,它需要一个字符串并迭代每个字符,将该字符放在前面。然后它会对其余字符进行递归。该结构消除了重复字母的问题,因为递归的输入已删除了您已使用过的字符。
我还将结果存储在一个集合中以删除语义等价。输入'aab'可以切换char 0和char 1,但仍然是'aab'。我使用TreeSet来保存排序以便更容易地验证输出,但是HashSet会更快。
public static Set<String> permute(String chars)
{
// Use sets to eliminate semantic duplicates (aab is still aab even if you switch the two 'a's)
// Switch to HashSet for better performance
Set<String> set = new TreeSet<String>();
// Termination condition: only 1 permutation for a string of length 1
if (chars.length() == 1)
{
set.add(chars);
}
else
{
// Give each character a chance to be the first in the permuted string
for (int i=0; i<chars.length(); i++)
{
// Remove the character at index i from the string
String pre = chars.substring(0, i);
String post = chars.substring(i+1);
String remaining = pre+post;
// Recurse to find all the permutations of the remaining chars
for (String permutation : permute(remaining))
{
// Concatenate the first character with the permutations of the remaining chars
set.add(chars.charAt(i) + permutation);
}
}
}
return set;
}
示例运行:
public static void main(String[] args)
{
for (String s : CharPermuter.permute("abca"))
{
System.out.println(s);
}
}
生成:
aabc
aacb
abac
abca
acab
acba
baac
baca
bcaa
caab
caba
cbaa
