Ada[edit]
We split the task into two parts: The first part is to represent permutations, to initialize them and to go from one permutation to another one, until the last one has been reached. This can be used elsewhere, e.g., for the Topswaps [[1]] task. The second part is to read the N from the command line, and to actually print all permutations over 1 .. N.
The generic package Generic_Perm[edit]
When given N, this package defines the Element and Permutation types and exports procedures to set a permutation P to the first one, and to change P into the next one:
generic
N: positive;
package Generic_Perm is
subtype Element is Positive range 1 .. N;
type Permutation is array(Element) of Element;
procedure Set_To_First(P: out Permutation; Is_Last: out Boolean);
procedure Go_To_Next(P: in out Permutation; Is_Last: out Boolean);
end Generic_Perm;
Here is the implementation of the package:
package body Generic_Perm is
procedure Set_To_First(P: out Permutation; Is_Last: out Boolean) is
begin
for I in P'Range loop
P (I) := I;
end loop;
Is_Last := P'Length = 1;
-- if P has a single element, the fist permutation is the last one
end Set_To_First;
procedure Go_To_Next(P: in out Permutation; Is_Last: out Boolean) is
procedure Swap (A, B : in out Integer) is
C : Integer := A;
begin
A := B;
B := C;
end Swap;
I, J, K : Element;
begin
-- find longest tail decreasing sequence
-- after the loop, this sequence is I+1 .. n,
-- and the ith element will be exchanged later
-- with some element of the tail
Is_Last := True;
I := N - 1;
loop
if P (I) < P (I+1)
then
Is_Last := False;
exit;
end if;
-- next instruction will raise an exception if I = 1, so
-- exit now (this is the last permutation)
exit when I = 1;
I := I - 1;
end loop;
-- if all the elements of the permutation are in
-- decreasing order, this is the last one
if Is_Last then
return;
end if;
-- sort the tail, i.e. reverse it, since it is in decreasing order
J := I + 1;
K := N;
while J < K loop
Swap (P (J), P (K));
J := J + 1;
K := K - 1;
end loop;
-- find lowest element in the tail greater than the ith element
J := N;
while P (J) > P (I) loop
J := J - 1;
end loop;
J := J + 1;
-- exchange them
-- this will give the next permutation in lexicographic order,
-- since every element from ith to the last is minimum
Swap (P (I), P (J));
end Go_To_Next;
end Generic_Perm;
The procedure Print_Perms[edit]
with Ada.Text_IO, Ada.Command_Line, Generic_Perm;
procedure Print_Perms is
package CML renames Ada.Command_Line;
package TIO renames Ada.Text_IO;
begin
declare
package Perms is new Generic_Perm(Positive'Value(CML.Argument(1)));
P : Perms.Permutation;
Done : Boolean := False;
procedure Print(P: Perms.Permutation) is
begin
for I in P'Range loop
TIO.Put (Perms.Element'Image (P (I)));
end loop;
TIO.New_Line;
end Print;
begin
Perms.Set_To_First(P, Done);
loop
Print(P);
exit when Done;
Perms.Go_To_Next(P, Done);
end loop;
end;
exception
when Constraint_Error
=> TIO.Put_Line ("*** Error: enter one numerical argument n with n >= 1");
end Print_Perms;

Recursive again[edit]
This is marginally faster even than the Pseudocode translation above and doesn't demarcate lists with square brackets, which don't officially exist in AppleScript. It now features tail call elimination and a rethink of way the results list is built which, on my machine, reduces the time taken to return the 362,880 permutations of a 9-item list from a minute to a second and a half. It'll even return the 3,628,800 permutations of a 10-item list without seizing up, in about 17 seconds. But make sure Script Editor doesn't attempt to display such large results or you'll need to force-quit it!

Alternate solution[edit]
Instead of looking up unused values, this program starts from [1, ..., n] and does only swaps, hence the array always represents a valid permutation. The values need to be "swapped back" after the recursive call.
program allperm
implicit none
integer :: n, i
integer, allocatable :: a(:)
read *, n
allocate(a(n))
a = [ (i, i = 1, n) ]
call perm(1)
deallocate(a)
contains
recursive subroutine perm(i)
integer :: i, j, t
if (i == n) then
print *, a
else
do j = i, n
t = a(i)
a(i) = a(j)
a(j) = t
call perm(i + 1)
t = a(i)
a(i) = a(j)
a(j) = t
end do

An example of performance:
1) Compiled with GNU fortran compiler:
gfortran -O3 testing_permutation_algorithms.f90 ; ./a.out
INPUT N:
10
N = 10 1) subnexper: Total permutations : 3628800 Total time elapsed : 4.9000000000000002E-002 2) generate: Total permutations : 3628800 Total time elapsed : 0.84299999999999997 3) perm: Total permutations : 3628800 Total time elapsed : 5.6000000000000001E-002 4) nextp: Total permutations : 3628800 Total time elapsed : 2.9999999999999999E-002
b) Compiled with Intel compiler:
ifort -O3 testing_permutation_algorithms.f90 ; ./a.out
INPUT N: 10
N = 10 1) subnexper: Total permutations : 3628800 Total time elapsed : 8.240000000000000E-002 2) generate: Total permutations : 3628800 Total time elapsed : 0.616200000000000 3) perm: Total permutations : 3628800 Total time elapsed : 5.760000000000000E-002 4) nextp: Total permutations : 3628800 Total time elapsed : 3.600000000000000E-002
So far, we have conclusion from the above performance: 1) subnexper is the 3rd fast with ifort and the 2nd with gfortran. 2) generate is the slowest one with not only ifort but gfortran. 3) perm is the 2nd fast one with ifort and the 3rd one with gfortran. 4) nextp is the fastest one with both ifort and gfortran (the winner in this test).
Note: It is worth mentioning that the performance of this test is dependent not only on algorithm, but also on computer where the test runs. Therefore we should run the test on our own computer and make conclusion by ourselves.

Frink[edit]

println[formatTable[a.lexicographicPermute[]]]

GAP[edit]
GAP can handle permutations and groups. Here is a straightforward implementation : for each permutation p in S(n) (symmetric group), compute the images of 1 .. n by p. As an alternative, List(SymmetricGroup(n)) would yield the permutations as GAP Permutation objects, which would probably be more manageable in later computations.
gap>List(SymmetricGroup(4), p -> Permuted([1 .. 4], p));
perms(4);
[ [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], [ 4, 2, 3, 1 ], [ 2, 4, 3, 1 ], [ 3, 2, 4, 1 ], [ 1, 4, 3, 2 ], [ 4, 1, 3, 2 ], [ 2, 1, 3, 4 ],
[ 3, 1, 4, 2 ], [ 1, 3, 4, 2 ], [ 4, 3, 1, 2 ], [ 2, 3, 1, 4 ], [ 3, 4, 1, 2 ], [ 1, 2, 4, 3 ], [ 4, 2, 1, 3 ],
[ 2, 4, 1, 3 ], [ 3, 2, 1, 4 ], [ 1, 4, 2, 3 ], [ 4, 1, 2, 3 ], [ 2, 1, 4, 3 ], [ 3, 1, 2, 4 ], [ 1, 3, 2, 4 ],
[ 4, 3, 2, 1 ], [ 2, 3, 4, 1 ], [ 3, 4, 2, 1 ] ]
GAP has also built-in functions to get permutations
# All arrangements of 4 elements in 1 .. 4
Arrangements([1 .. 4], 4);
# All permutations of 1 .. 4
PermutationsList([1 .. 4]);
Here is an implementation using a function to compute next permutation in lexicographic order:
NextPermutation := function(a)
local i, j, k, n, t;
n := Length(a);
i := n - 1;
while i > 0 and a[i] > a[i + 1] do
i := i - 1;
od;
j := i + 1;
k := n;
while j < k do
t := a[j];
a[j] := a[k];
a[k] := t;
j := j + 1;
k := k - 1;
od;
if i = 0 then
return false;
else
j := i + 1;
while a[j] < a[i] do
j := j + 1;
od;
t := a[i];
a[i] := a[j];
a[j] := t;
return true;
fi;
end;
Permutations := function(n)
local a, L;
a := List([1 .. n], x -> x);
L := [ ];
repeat
Add(L, ShallowCopy(a));
until not NextPermutation(a);
return L;
end;

Haskell[edit]
import Data.List (permutations)
main = mapM_ print (permutations [1,2,3])
A simple implementation, that assumes elements are unique and support equality:
import Data.List (delete)
permutations :: Eq a => [a] -> [[a]]
permutations [] = [[]]
permutations xs = [ x:ys | x <- xs, ys <- permutations (delete x xs)]
A slightly more efficient implementation that doesn't have the above restrictions:
permutations :: [a] -> [[a]]
permutations [] = [[]]
permutations xs = [ y:zs | (y,ys) <- select xs, zs <- permutations ys]
where select [] = []
select (x:xs) = (x,xs) : [ (y,x:ys) | (y,ys) <- select xs ]
The above are all selection-based approaches. The following is an insertion-based approach:
permutations :: [a] -> [[a]]
permutations = foldr (concatMap . insertEverywhere) [[]]
where insertEverywhere :: a -> [a] -> [[a]]
insertEverywhere x [] = [[x]]
insertEverywhere x l@(y:ys) = (x:l) : map (y:) (insertEverywhere x ys)
A serialized version:
permutations :: [a] -> [[a]]
permutations =
foldr (\x ac -> ac >>= (fmap . ins x) <*> (enumFromTo 0 . length)) [[]]
where
ins x xs n =
let (a, b) = splitAt n xs
in a ++ x : b
main :: IO ()
main = print $ permutations [1, 2, 3]
- Output:
[[1,2,3],[2,3,1],[3,1,2],[2,1,3],[1,3,2],[3,2,1]]

ES6[edit]
Recursively, in terms of concatMap and delete:
(() => {

// permutations :: [a] -> [[a]]
const permutations = xs => {
const go = xs => xs.length ? (
concatMap(
x => concatMap(
ys => [[x].concat(ys)],
go(delete_(x, xs))), xs
)

return go(xs);

// GENERIC FUNCTIONS ----------------------------------
// concatMap :: (a -> [b]) -> [a] -> [b]
const concatMap = (f, xs) =>
xs.reduce((a, x) => a.concat(f(x)), []);
// delete :: Eq a => a -> [a] -> [a]
const delete_ = (x, xs) => {
const go = xs => {
return 0 < xs.length ? (
(x === xs[0]) ? (
xs.slice(1)

) : [];
}
return go(xs);
};
// TEST
return JSON.stringify(
permutations(['Aardvarks', 'eat', 'ants'])

["eat", "Aardvarks", "ants"], ["eat", "ants", "Aardvarks"],
["ants", "Aardvarks", "eat"], ["ants", "eat", "Aardvarks"]]
Or, without recursion, in terms of concatMap and reduce:
(() => {
'use strict';
// permutations :: [a] -> [[a]]
const permutations = xs =>
xs.reduceRight(
(a, x) => concatMap(
xs => enumFromTo(0, xs.length)
.map(n => xs.slice(0, n)
.concat(x)

[[]]
);
// GENERIC FUNCTIONS ----------------------------------
// concatMap :: (a -> [b]) -> [a] -> [b]
const concatMap = (f, xs) =>
xs.reduce((a, x) => a.concat(f(x)), []);
// ft :: Int -> Int -> [Int]
const enumFromTo = (m, n) =>
Array.from({
length: 1 + n - m
}, (_, i) => m + i);
// showLog :: a -> IO ()
const showLog = (...args) =>
console.log(
args
.map(JSON.stringify)
.join(' -> ')

// TEST -----------------------------------------------
showLog(

})();
- Output:

jq[edit]
"permutations" generates a stream of the permutations of the input array.
def permutations:
if length == 0 then []
else
range(0;length) as $i
| [.[$i]] + (del(.[$i])|permutations)
end ;
Example 1: list them
[range(0;3)] | permutations [0,1,2] [0,2,1] [1,0,2] [1,2,0] [2,0,1] [2,1,0]
Example 2: count them
[[range(0;3)] | permutations] | length 6
Or more efficiently:
def count(s): reduce s as $i (0;.+1);
[range(0;3)] | count(permutations) 6
Example 3: 10!
[range(0;10)] | count(permutations) 3628800
Julia[edit]
Julia has support for permutation creation and processing via the Combinatorics package. permutations(v) creates an iterator over all permutations of v. Julia 0.7 and 1.0+ require the line global i inside the for to update the i variable.
using Combinatorics
term = "RCode"
i = 0
pcnt = factorial(length(term))
print("All the permutations of ", term, " (", pcnt, "):\n ")
for p in permutations(split(term, ""))
global i
print(join(p), " ")
i += 1
i %= 12
i != 0 || print("\n ")
end
println()
- Output:
All the permutations of RCode (120):

langur[edit]
This follows the Go language non-recursive example, but is not limited to integers, or even to numbers.
Prior to 0.10, multi-variable declaration/assignment would use parentheses around variable names and values. 0.10 also parses the increment section of a for loop as a multi-variable assignment, not as a list of assignments.

Modula-3[edit]
Simple version[edit]
This implementation merely prints out the orbit of the list (1, 2, ..., n) under the action of Sn. It shows off Modula-3's built-in Set type and uses the standard IntSeq library module.
MODULE Permutations EXPORTS Main;
IMPORT IO, IntSeq;
CONST n = 3;
TYPE Domain = SET OF [ 1.. n ];
VAR
chosen: IntSeq.T;
values := Domain { };

(*
Recursively generates all the permutations of elements
in the union of "chosen" and "values".
Values in "chosen" have already been chosen;
values in "remaining" can still be chosen.
If "remaining" is empty, it prints the sequence and returns.
Otherwise, it picks each element in "remaining", removes it,
adds it to "chosen", recursively calls itself,
then removes the last element of "chosen" and adds it back to "remaining".
*)
BEGIN

Generic version[edit]
This version works on any type, and requires the library's Set and Sequence. As usual in Modula-3, the generic instance will need to be instantiated for whatever type you want to use, and you will also need to instantiate a set of, sequence of, and sequence of sequences of the domain elements. This will have to be taken care of by the m3makefile.
- interface
Suppose that D is the domain of elements to be permuted. This module requires a DomainSeq (Sequence of D), a DomainSet (Set of D), and a DomainSeqSeq (Sequence of Sequences of Domain).
GENERIC INTERFACE GenericPermutations(DomainSeq, DomainSet, DomainSeqSeq);
(*
"Domain" is where the things to permute come from (unused in interface).
"DomainSeq" is a "Sequence" of "Domain".
"DomainSet" is a "Set" of "Domain".
"DomainSeqSeq" is a "Sequence" of "DomainSeq".
*)
PROCEDURE GeneratePermutations(
READONLY chosen: DomainSeq.T;
READONLY remaining: DomainSet.T;
READONLY result: DomainSeqSeq.T
);
(*
Recursively generates all the permutations of elements
in the union of "chosen" and "remaining".
Values in "chosen" have already been chosen;
values in "remaining" can still be chosen.
If "remaining" is empty, it adds the permutation to "result".
Otherwise, it picks each element in "remaining", removes it,
adds it to "chosen", recursively calls itself,
then removes the last element of "chosen" and adds it back to "remaining".
Although the parameters are modified, we can describe them as "READONLY"
because we do not re-assign them.
*)
END GenericPermutations.
- implementation
In addition to the interface's specifications, this requires a generic Domain. Some implementations of a set are not safe to iterate over while modifying (e.g., a tree), so this copies the values and iterates over them.
GENERIC MODULE GenericPermutations(Domain, DomainSeq, DomainSet, DomainSeqSeq);
(*
"Domain" is where the things to permute come from.
"DomainSeq" is a "Sequence" of "Domain".
"DomainSet" is a "Set" of "Domain".
"DomainSeqSeq" is a "Sequence" of "DomainSeq".

END GeneratePermutations;
BEGIN
END GenericPermutations.
- Sample Usage
Here the domain is Integer, but the interface doesn't require that, so we "merely" need IntSeq (a Sequence of Integer), IntSetTree (a set type I use, but you could use SetDef or SetList if you prefer; I've tested it and it works), IntSeqSeq (a Sequence of Sequences of Integer), and IntPermutations, which is GenericPermutations instantiated for Integer.

alternative[edit]
a little bit more speed.I take n = 12. The above version takes more than 5 secs.My permlex takes 2.8s, but in the depth of my harddisk I found a version, creating all permutations using k places out of n.The cpu loves it! 1.33 s. But you have to use the integers [1..n] directly or as Index to your data. 1 to n are in lexicographic order.

Phix[edit]
The distribution includes builtins\permute.e, which is reproduced below. This can be used to retrieve all possible permutations, in no particular order. The elements can be any type. It is just as fast to generate the (n!)th permutation as the first, so some applications may benefit by storing an integer key rather than duplicating all the elements of the given set.
global function permute(integer n, sequence set) -- -- return the nth permute of the given set. -- n should be an integer in the range 1 to factorial(length(set)) -- integer l = length(set) sequence res = repeat(iff(string(set)?' ':0),l) n -= 1 set = deep_copy(set,1) -- (top level only needed) for i=l to 1 by -1 do integer w = remainder(n,i)+1 res[i] = set[w] set[w] = set[i] n = floor(n/i) end for return res end function
Example use:
with javascript_semantics function permutes(sequence set) sequence res = repeat(0,factorial(length(set))) for i=1 to length(res) do res[i] = permute(i,set) end for return res end function ?permutes("abcd")
- Output:
{"bcda","dcab","bdac","bcad","cdba","cadb","dabc","cabd","bdca","dacb","badc","bacd","cbda","cdab","dbac","cbad","dcba","acdb","adbc","acbd","dbca","adcb","abdc","abcd"}

PureBasic[edit]
The procedure nextPermutation() takes an array of integers as input and transforms its contents into the next lexicographic permutation of it's elements (i.e. integers). It returns #True if this is possible. It returns #False if there are no more lexicographic permutations left and arranges the elements into the lowest lexicographic permutation. It also returns #False if there is less than 2 elemetns to permute.
The integer elements could be the addresses of objects that are pointed at instead. In this case the addresses will be permuted without respect to what they are pointing to (i.e. strings, or structures) and the lexicographic order will be that of the addresses themselves.

Recursive implementation[edit]
The follwing functions start from a list [0 ... n-1] and exchange elements to always have a valid permutation. This is done recursively: first exchange a[0] with all the other elements, then a[1] with a[2] ... a[n-1], etc. thus yielding all permutations.
def perm1(n):
a = list(range(n))
def sub(i):
if i == n - 1:
yield tuple(a)
else:
for k in range(i, n):
a[i], a[k] = a[k], a[i]
yield from sub(i + 1)
a[i], a[k] = a[k], a[i]
yield from sub(0)
def perm2(n):
a = list(range(n))
def sub(i):
if i == n - 1:
yield tuple(a)
else:
for k in range(i, n):
a[i], a[k] = a[k], a[i]
yield from sub(i + 1)
x = a[i]
for k in range(i + 1, n):
a[k - 1] = a[k]
a[n - 1] = x
yield from sub(0)
These two solutions make use of a generator, and "yield from" introduced in PEP-380. They are slightly different: the latter produces permutations in lexicographic order, because the "remaining" part of a (that is, a[i+1:]) is always sorted, whereas the former always reverses the exchange just after the recursive call.
On three elements, the difference can be seen on the last two permutations:
for u in perm1(3): print(u)
(0, 1, 2)
(0, 2, 1)
(1, 0, 2)
(1, 2, 0)
(2, 1, 0)
(2, 0, 1)
for u in perm2(3): print(u)
(0, 1, 2)
(0, 2, 1)
(1, 0, 2)
(1, 2, 0)
(2, 0, 1)
(2, 1, 0)
Iterative implementation[edit]
Given a permutation, one can easily compute the next permutation in some order, for example lexicographic order, here. Then to get all permutations, it's enough to start from [0, 1, ... n-1], and store the next permutation until [n-1, n-2, ... 0], which is the last in lexicographic order.
def nextperm(a):
n = len(a)
i = n - 1
while i > 0 and a[i - 1] > a[i]:
i -= 1
j = i
k = n - 1
while j < k:
a[j], a[k] = a[k], a[j]
j += 1
k -= 1
if i == 0:
return False
else:
j = i
while a[j] < a[i - 1]:
j += 1
a[i - 1], a[j] = a[j], a[i - 1]
return True
def perm3(n):
if type(n) is int:
if n < 1:
return []
a = list(range(n))
else:
a = sorted(n)
u = [tuple(a)]
while nextperm(a):
u.append(tuple(a))
return u
for p in perm3(3): print(p)
(0, 1, 2)
(0, 2, 1)
(1, 0, 2)
(1, 2, 0)
(2, 0, 1)
(2, 1, 0)
Implementation using destructive list updates[edit]
def permutations(xs):
ac = [[]]
for x in xs:
ac_new = []
for ts in ac:
for n in range(0,ts.__len__()+1):
new_ts = ts[:] #(shallow) copy of ts
new_ts.insert(n,x)

Functional :: type-preserving[edit]
The itertools.permutations function is polymorphic in its inputs but not in its outputs – it discards the type of input lists and strings, coercing all inputs to tuples.
In this type-preserving variant, permutation is defined (without the need for mutating name-bindings) in terms of two universal abstractions: reduce and concatMap:
'''Permutations of a list, string or tuple'''
from functools import (reduce)
from itertools import (chain)
# permutations :: [a] -> [[a]]
def permutations(xs):
'''Type-preserving permutations of xs.
'''
ps = reduce(
lambda a, x: concatMap(
lambda xs: (
xs[n:] + [x] + xs[0:n] for n in range(0, 1 + len(xs)))
)(a),
xs, [[]]
)
t = type(xs)
return ps if list == t else (
[''.join(x) for x in ps] if str == t else [
t(x) for x in ps
]
)

First, you can just use the built-in method on any list type.
.say for <a b c>.permutations
- Output:
a b c a c b b a c b c a c a b c b a
Here is some generic code that works with any ordered type. To force lexicographic ordering, change after to gt. To force numeric order, replace it with >.
sub next_perm ( @a is copy ) {
my $j = @a.end - 1;
return Nil if --$j < 0 while @a[$j] after @a[$j+1];
my $aj = @a[$j];
my $k = @a.end;
$k-- while $aj after @a[$k];
@a[ $j, $k ] .= reverse;
my $r = @a.end;
my $s = $j + 1;
@a[ $r--, $s++ ] .= reverse while $r > $s;
return @a;
}
.say for [<a b c>], &next_perm ...^ !*;
- Output:
a b c a c b b a c b c a c a b c b a
Here is another non-recursive implementation, which returns a lazy list. It also works with any type.
sub permute(+@items) {
my @seq := 1..+@items;
gather for (^[*] @seq) -> $n is copy {
my @order;
for @seq {
unshift @order, $n mod $_;
$n div= $_;
}
my @i-copy = @items;
take map { |@i-copy.splice($_, 1) }, @order;
}
}
.say for permute( 'a'..'c' )
- Output:
(a b c) (a c b) (b a c) (b c a) (c a b) (c b a)
Finally, if you just want zero-based numbers, you can call the built-in function:
.say for permutations(3);
- Output:
0 1 2 0 2 1 1 0 2 1 2 0 2 0 1 2 1 0

Scala[edit]
There is a built-in function in the Scala collections library, that is part of the language's standard library. The permutation function is available on any sequential collection. It could be used as follows given a list of numbers:
List(1, 2, 3).permutations.foreach(println)
- Output:
List(1, 2, 3) List(1, 3, 2) List(2, 1, 3) List(2, 3, 1) List(3, 1, 2) List(3, 2, 1)
The following function returns all the permutations of a list:
def permutations[T]: List[T] => Traversable[List[T]] = {
case Nil => List(Nil)
case xs => {
for {
(x, i) <- xs.zipWithIndex
ys <- permutations(xs.take(i) ++ xs.drop(1 + i))
} yield {
x :: ys
}
}
}
If you need the unique permutations, use distinct or toSet on either the result or on the input.

If we collect all the permutations of the next size down, we can output permutations in lexical order

code ChOut=8, CrLf=9;
def N=4; \number of objects (letters)
char S0, S1(N);
proc Permute(D); \Display all permutations of letters in S0
int D; \depth of recursion
int I, J;
[if D=N then
[for I:= 0 to N-1 do ChOut(0, S1(I));
CrLf(0);
return;
];
for I:= 0 to N-1 do
[for J:= 0 to D-1 do \check if object (letter) already used
if S1(J) = S0(I) then J:=100;
if J<100 then
[S1(D):= S0(I); \object (letter) not used so append it
Permute(D+1); \recurse next level deeper
];
];
];
[S0:= "rose "; \N different objects (letters)
Permute(0); \(space char avoids MSb termination)
]
Output:
rose roes rsoe rseo reos reso orse ores osre oser oers oesr sroe sreo sore soer sero seor eros erso eors eosr esro esor
zkl[edit]
Using the solution from task Permutations by swapping#zkl:
zkl: Utils.Helpers.permute("rose").apply("concat")
L("rose","roes","reos","eros","erso","reso","rseo","rsoe","sroe","sreo",...)
zkl: Utils.Helpers.permute("rose").len()
24
zkl: Utils.Helpers.permute(T(1,2,3,4))
L(L(1,2,3,4),L(1,2,4,3),L(1,4,2,3),L(4,1,2,3),L(4,1,3,2),L(1,4,3,2),L(1,3,4,2),L(1,3,2,4),...)
