Perhaps you could try the following method:

Step 1: evolve a room full of monkeys.

Step 2: give the monkeys your input string.

Step 3: wait.

Eventually the monkeys will generate all possible permutations of your input string. If your input string consists of a large enough pile of alphabet blocks, eventually they may give you the complete works of William Shakespeare as well.

If your monkeys starve to death before the algorithm completes, repeat step 1.

I think you might encounter the thermal death of the universe before the algorithm completes, but if that happens, don't come looking for me. :)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
