lintcode-medium-Next Permutation II

Implement next permutation, which rearranges numbers into the lexicographically next greater permutation of numbers.

If such arrangement is not possible, it must rearrange it as the lowest possible order (ie, sorted in ascending order).

 

Example

Here are some examples. Inputs are in the left-hand column and its corresponding outputs are in the right-hand column.

1,2,3 → 1,3,2

3,2,1 → 1,2,3

1,1,5 → 1,5,1

Challenge

The replacement must be in-place, do not allocate extra memory.

 

public class Solution {
    /**
     * @param nums: an array of integers
     * @return: return nothing (void), do not return anything, modify nums in-place instead
     */
    public void nextPermutation(int[] nums) {
        // write your code here
        if(nums == null || nums.length <= 1)
            return;
        
        int i = nums.length - 1;
        
        while(i > 0 && nums[i - 1] >= nums[i])
            i--;
        
        if(i == 0){
            reverse(nums, 0, nums.length - 1);
            return;
        }
        
        i--;
        
        int j = i + 1;
        
        while(j < nums.length && nums[j] > nums[i])
            j++;
        
        j--;
        
        swap(nums, i, j);
        reverse(nums, i + 1, nums.length - 1);
        
        return;
    }
    
    
    public void swap(int[] nums, int i, int j){
        int temp = nums[i];
        nums[i] = nums[j];
        nums[j] = temp;
        
        return;
    }
    
    public void reverse(int[] nums, int start, int end){
        while(start < end){
            swap(nums, start, end);
            start++;
            end--;
        }
        
        return;
    }
