Ada
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
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: <lang ada>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;</lang>
Here is the implementation of the package: <lang ada>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;</lang>
The procedure Print_Perms
<lang ada>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

exit when Done;

GAP
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. <lang gap>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 ],

Haskell
<lang haskell>import Data.List (permutations)
main = mapM_ print (permutations [1,2,3])</lang>
A simple implementation, that assumes elements are unique and support equality: <lang haskell>import Data.List (delete)
permutations :: Eq a => [a] -> a permutations [] = [[]] permutations xs = [ x:ys | x <- xs, ys <- permutations (delete x xs)]</lang>
A slightly more efficient implementation that doesn't have the above restrictions: <lang haskell>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 ]</lang>
The above are all selection-based approaches. The following is an insertion-based approach: <lang haskell>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)</lang>

Perl
There are many modules that can do permutations, or it can be fairly easily done by hand with an example below. In performance order for simple permutation of 10 scalars, a sampling of some solutions:
- 1.7s Algorithm::FastPermute permute iterator - 1.7s Algorithm::Permute permute iterator - 2.0s ntheory forperm iterator - 6.3s Algorithm::Combinatorics permutations iterator - 9.1s the recursive sub below - 21.1s Math::Combinatorics permutations iterator
Example:
<lang perl>use ntheory qw/forperm/; my @tasks = (qw/party sleep study/); forperm {
print "@tasks[@_]\n";
} scalar(@tasks);</lang>
- Output:
party sleep study party study sleep sleep party study sleep study party study party sleep study sleep party
A simple recursive routine: <lang perl>sub permutation { my ($perm,@set) = @_; print "$perm\n" || return unless (@set); permutation($perm.$set[$_],@set[0..$_-1],@set[$_+1..$#set]) foreach (0..$#set); } my @input = (qw/a 2 c 4/); permutation(,@input);</lang>
- Output:
a2c4 a24c ac24 ac42 a42c a4c2 2ac4 2a4c 2ca4 2c4a 24ac 24ca ca24 ca42 c2a4 c24a c4a2 c42a 4a2c 4ac2 42ac 42ca 4ca2 4c2a
Perl 6
First, you can just use the built-in method on any list type. <lang Perl6>.say for <a b c>.permutations</lang>
- 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 >. <lang perl6>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 ...^ !*;</lang>
- 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. <lang perl6>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' )</lang>
- 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: <lang perl6>.say for permutations(3);</lang>
- Output:
0 1 2 0 2 1 1 0 2 1 2 0 2 0 1 2 1 0
Phix
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. <lang Phix>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)) -- sequence res integer w
n -= 1
res = set
for i=length(set) to 1 by -1 do
w = remainder(n,i)+1
res[i] = set[w]
set[w] = set[i]
n = floor(n/i)
end for
return res
end function</lang> Example use: <lang Phix>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")</lang>
- Output:

PureBasic
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. <lang PureBasic>Macro reverse(firstIndex, lastIndex)

Recursive implementation
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.
<lang python>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)</lang>
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:
<lang python>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)</lang>
Iterative implementation
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.
<lang python>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)</lang>

Scala
There is a built-in function that works on any sequential collection. It could be used as follows given a List of symbols: <lang scala>List('a, 'b, 'c).permutations foreach println</lang>
- Output:
List('a, 'b, 'c)
List('a, 'c, 'b)
List('b, 'a, 'c)
List('b, 'c, 'a)
List('c, 'a, 'b)
List('c, 'b, 'a)
The following function returns all the unique permutation of a list:
def permutations[T](list: List[T]):List[List[T]] = {
list match {
case Nil => Nil
case elem :: Nil => List(list)
case head :: tail => list.distinct.foldLeft(List[List[T]]()) ((lst, elem)=> lst ++ ((permutations(list.diff(List(elem)))).map((l)=> (elem :: l))))
}
