[Leetcode]31. Next Permutation

• 本题难度: Medium
• Topic: Greedy

Description

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).

The replacement must be in-place and use only constant extra memory.

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

class Solution(object):
    def nextPermutation(self, nums):
        """
        :type nums: List[int]
        :rtype: void Do not return anything, modify nums in-place instead.
        """
        # find longest non-increasing suffix
        right = len(nums)-1
        while nums[right] <= nums[right-1] and right-1 >=0:
            right -= 1
        if right == 0:
            return self.reverse(nums,0,len(nums)-1)
        # find pivot
        pivot = right-1
        successor = 0
        # find rightmost succesor
        for i in range(len(nums)-1,pivot,-1):
            if nums[i] > nums[pivot]:
                successor = i
                break
        # swap pivot and successor
        nums[pivot],nums[successor] = nums[successor],nums[pivot]  
        # reverse suffix
        self.reverse(nums,pivot+1,len(nums)-1)
        
    def reverse(self,nums,l,r):
        while l < r:
            nums[l],nums[r] = nums[r],nums[l]
            l += 1
            r -= 1

思路

和52. Next Permutation不同，这一没有返回值，直接改变原数组。
