C/C++ Program for Write a C program to print all permutations of a given string.

program solution

/* C program to print all permutations with duplicates allowed */

#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

 

/* Function to swap values at two pointers */

void swap(char *x, char *y)

{

    char temp;

    temp = *x;

    *x = *y;

    *y = temp;

}

 

/* Function to print permutations of string

   This function takes three parameters:

   1. String

   2. Starting index of the string

   3. Ending index of the string. */

void permute(char *a, int l, int r)

{

   int i;

   if (l == r)

     printf("%s\n", a);

   else

   {

       for (i = l; i <= r; i++)

       {

          swap((a+l), (a+i));

          permute(a, l+1, r);

          swap((a+l), (a+i)); //backtrack

       }

   }

}

 

/* Driver program to test above functions */

int main()

{

    char str[] = "ABC";

    int n = strlen(str);

    permute(str, 0, n-1);

    return 0;

}

Output

ABC

ACB

BAC

BCA

CBA

CAB
