==Next_permutation==
Someone on [https://www.reddit.com/r/coding/comments/f796q1/next_highest_int_from_digits/fi9uyx1?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x Reddit] r/coding posted a cryptic `std::next_permutation()`. Some searching shows that if it produces the next lexicographic permutation thn it is doing all the heavy lifting!

==Ambiguities in task statement==
Perhaps current phrasing imposes a bit more effort on the reader than it really needs to:
''the task is to generate the next largest integer using only the given digits.''
So this is in the sense in which Lyons is '''the next largest''' town in France after Paris ? We are moving down ?
''Using only the the given digits''
This is as in "Using only a straight edge and a pair of compasses" ? [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 16:45, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
