    permutations of a string

    how do you print all the permutations of a string when:
    1)assume all characters are distinct .
    2)can have duplicate characters

    i know how to do it recursively:
    example string is abc
    permutations are:
    a + (permutations of bc)
    b + (permutations of ac)
    c + (permutations of ab)

    ne better way ?

    Your way seems fine.
    Prove you can code in C++ or C# at TopCoder, referrer rrenaud
