[leetcode]46. Permutations全排列(给定序列无重复元素)

Given a collection of distinct integers, return all possible permutations.

Input: [1,2,3]
Output:
[
  [1,2,3],
  [1,3,2],
  [2,1,3],
  [2,3,1],
  [3,1,2],
  [3,2,1]
]

Solution1: Backtracking

形式化的表示递归过程：permutations(nums[0...n-1]) = {取出一个数字} + permutations(nums[0...n-1] - 该数字)

code

 /*
 Time: O(n!)
 Space: O(n!). We allocate space to keep N! paths.
 */

 class Solution {
     public List<List<Integer>> permute(int[] nums) {
         List<List<Integer>> result = new ArrayList<>();
         // corner case
         if (nums == null || nums.length == 0) return result;
         List<Integer> path = new ArrayList<>();
         helper(nums, path, result);
         return result;
     }

     private void helper(int[] nums, List<Integer> path, List<List<Integer>> result){
         // base case
         if(path.size() == nums.length){
             result.add(new ArrayList<>(path));
             return;
         }

         for(int i = 0; i< nums.length; i++){
             if(path.contains(nums[i])) continue;
             path.add(nums[i]);
             helper(nums, path, result);
             path.remove(path.size() - 1);
         }
     }
 }
