Permutations Applet

This applet generates all possible permutations of a specified size.

Type in the size in at the top, and then hit the "Permute" button".

The permutations are displayed in Lexicographic (alphabetic) order.

The algorithm employed is from E. W. Dijkstra, A Discipline of Programming, Prentice-Hall, 1976, p.71.

The source code is available here:

Permutations.java - the main class
PermFrEnd.java - AWT Front End
Executor.java - external method invocation

A version of this applet using Sun's Java plug-in is available here.
