Print all the permutations of a string in C

Question

I am learning backtracking and recursion and I am stuck at an algorithm for printing all the permutations of a string. I solved it using the bell algorithm for permutation b

Answer 1

# include 

/* Function to swap values at two pointers */
void swap (char *x, char *y)
{
     char temp;
     temp = *x;
     *x = *y;
     *y = temp;
}

/* Function to print permutations of string
    This function takes three parameters:
    1. String
    2. Starting index of the string
    3. Ending index of the string. */
void permute(char *a, int i, int n)
{
    int j;
    if (i == n)
      printf("%s\n", a);
    else
    {
          for (j = i; j <= n; j++)
         {
             swap((a+i), (a+j));
             permute(a, i+1, n);
             swap((a+i), (a+j)); //backtrack
         }
    }
}

/* Driver program to test above functions */
int main()
{
    char a[] = "ABC";
    permute(a, 0, 2);
    getchar();
    return 0;
}
