permutation of string in javascript code example
Example 1: how to find all permutations of an array with javascript
function getArrayMutations(arr, perms = [], len = arr.length) {
if (len === 1) perms.push(arr.slice(0))
for (let i = 0; i < len; i++) {
getArrayMutations(arr, perms, len - 1)
len % 2
? [arr[0], arr[len - 1]] = [arr[len - 1], arr[0]]
: [arr[i], arr[len - 1]] = [arr[len - 1], arr[i]]
}
return perms
}
Example 2: permutation javascript
const permutations = arr => {
if (arr.length <= 2) return arr.length === 2 ? [arr, [arr[1], arr[0]]] : arr;
return arr.reduce(
(acc, item, i) =>
acc.concat(
permutations([...arr.slice(0, i), ...arr.slice(i + 1)]).map(val => [
item,
...val,
])
),
[]
);
};
