Sorting algorithms/Permutation sort
Implement a permutation sort, which proceeds by generating the possible permutations of the input array/list until discovering the sorted one.
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Sorting Algorithm
This is a sorting algorithm. It may be applied to a set of data in order to sort it.
For comparing various sorts, see compare sorts.
For other sorting algorithms, see sorting algorithms, or:

I arr[i-1] > arr[i]
R 0B

V arr = [7, 6, 5, 9, 8, 4, 3, 1, 2, 0]

// recurse should never return false from the top level.
// if it does, it means some code somewhere is busted,
// either the the permutation generation code or the
// sortedness testing code.
panic("sorted permutation not found!")
}
fmt.Println("after: ", a)
}
// recursive permutation generator
func recurse(last int) bool {
if last <= 0 {
// bottom of recursion. test if sorted.

if i == 1 {

Groovy
Permutation sort is an astonishingly inefficient sort algorithm. To even begin to make it tractable, we need to be able to create enumerated permutations on the fly, rather than relying on Groovy's List.permutations() method. For a list of length N there are N! permutations. In this solution, makePermutation creates the Ith permutation to order based on a recursive construction of a unique indexed permutation. The sort method then checks to see if that permutation is sorted, and stops when it is.
I believe that this method of constructing permutations results in a stable sort, but I have not actually proven that assertion.
def factorial = { (it > 1) ? (2..it).inject(1) { i, j -> i*j } : 1 }
def makePermutation;
makePermutation = { list, i ->
def n = list.size()
if (n < 2) return list
def fact = factorial(n-1)
assert i < fact*n
def index = i.intdiv(fact)
[list[index]] + makePermutation(list[0..<index] + list[(index+1)..<n], i % fact)
}
def sorted = { a -> (1..<(a.size())).every { a[it-1] <= a[it] } }
def permutationSort = { a ->
def n = a.size()
def fact = factorial(n)
def permuteA = makePermutation.curry(a)
def pIndex = (0..<fact).find { print "."; sorted(permuteA(it)) }
permuteA(pIndex)
}
Test:
println permutationSort([7,0,12,-45,-1])
println ()
println permutationSort([10, 10.0, 10.00, 1])
println permutationSort([10, 10.00, 10.0, 1])
println permutationSort([10.0, 10, 10.00, 1])
println permutationSort([10.0, 10.00, 10, 1])
println permutationSort([10.00, 10, 10.0, 1])
println permutationSort([10.00, 10.0, 10, 1])
The examples with distinct integer and decimal values that compare as equal are there to demonstrate, but not to prove, that the sort is stable.

jq
Infrastructure: The following function generates a stream of permutations of an arbitrary JSON array:
def permutations:
if length == 0 then []
else
. as $in
| range(0;length) as $i
| ($in|del(.[$i])|permutations)
| [$in[$i]] + .
end ;
Next is a generic function for checking whether the input array is non-decreasing. If your jq has until/2 then its definition here can be removed.
def sorted:
def until(cond; next):
def _until: if cond then . else (next|_until) end;
_until;
length as $length
| if $length <= 1 then true
else . as $in
| 1 | until( . == $length or $in[.-1] > $in[.] ; .+1) == $length
end;
Permutation-sort:
The first permutation-sort solution presented here works with jq 1.4 but is slower than the subsequent solution, which uses the "foreach" construct introduced after the release of jq 1.4. "foreach" allows a stream generator to be interrupted.
def permutation_sort_slow:
reduce permutations as $p (null; if . then . elif ($p | sorted) then $p else . end);
def permutation_sort:
# emit the first item in stream that satisfies the condition
def first(stream; cond):
label $out
| foreach stream as $item
( [false, null];
if .[0] then break $out else [($item | cond), $item] end;
if .[0] then .[1] else empty end );
first(permutations; sorted);
Example:
["too", true, 1, 0, {"a":1}, {"a":0} ] | permutation_sort
- Output:

OCaml
Like the Haskell version, except not evaluated lazily. So it always computes all the permutations, before searching through them for a sorted one; which is more expensive than necessary; unlike the Haskell version, which stops generating at the first sorted permutation.

| _ -> true
let rec insert e = function
| [] -> [[e]]
| h :: t as l -> (e :: l) :: List.map (fun t' -> h :: t') (insert e t)
let permute xs = List.fold_right (fun h z -> List.concat (List.map (insert h) z))

RcppAlgos
RcppAlgos lets us do this at the speed of C++ and with some very short code. The while loop with no body strikes me as poor taste, but I know of no better way.
library(RcppAlgos)
permuSort <- function(list)
{
iter <- permuteIter(list)
while(is.unsorted(iter$nextIter())){}#iter$nextIter advances iter to the next iteration and returns it.
iter$currIter()
}
test <- sample(10)
print(test)
permuSort(test)
- Output:
#Output > test <- sample(10) > print(test) [1] 8 10 6 2 9 4 7 5 3 1 > permuSort(test) [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
An alternative solution would be to replace the while loop with the following:
repeat
{
if(!is.unsorted(iter$nextIter())) break
}
This seems more explicit than the empty while loop, but also more complex.

Tcl
The firstperm
procedure actually returns the lexicographically first permutation of the input list. However, to meet the letter of the problem, let's loop:
package require Tcl 8.5
package require struct::list
proc inorder {list} {::tcl::mathop::<= {*}$list}
proc permutationsort {list} {
while { ! [inorder $list]} {
set list [struct::list nextperm $list]
}
return $list
}
Ursala
Standard library functions to generate permutations and test for ordering by a given predicate are used.
#import std
permsort "p" = ~&ihB+ ordered"p"*~+ permutations
#cast %sL
example = permsort(lleq) <'pmf','oao','ejw','hhp','oqh','ock','dwj'>
- Output:
<'dwj','ejw','hhp','oao','ock','oqh','pmf'>
