    Permutations

    Hi,

    I am trying to write a program to generate permutations of an integer from 0 to a certain n(specified by the user).

    So for example -

    Code:
    n  = 1
    
    1
    
    n = 2
    
    1 2
    2 1
    
    n = 3
    
    1 2 3
    1 3 2
    2 1 3
    2 3 1
    3 1 2
    3 2 1
    and soo on...


    My program works works upto n = 3 but after that it starts repeating the output, here is a sample run from program -

    Code:
    1
    
    1
    
    2
    
    12
    21
    
    3
    
    123
    213
    231
    321
    312
    132
    
    4
    
    1234
    2134
    2314
    2341
    3241
    3421
    3412
    4312
    4132
    4123
    1423
    1243
    //REPEAT
    1234
    2134
    2314
    2341
    3241
    3421
    3412
    4312
    4132
    4123
    1423
    1243
    Here is my program, can someone let me know whats wrong ?

    Code:
    void GeneratePermutations(int input)
    {
    	int* arr = new int[input];
    	for(int i = 1; i <= input; ++i){
    		arr[i - 1] = i;
    	}
    	int lim = fact(input);
    	int counter = 1;
    	for(int i = 0; i < lim; ++i)
    	{		
    		for(int j = 0; j < input ; ++j)
    			cout << arr[j];			
    		cout << endl;
    		swap(arr[counter - 1],arr[counter]);
    		counter = (counter + 1) % input;	
    		if(counter == 0) counter = 1;
    	}
    }
    Thank you!

    so you mean when you put '5' in as your input it totally ignores it and outputs the results as if input was four?
