我使用了一个字符串而不是一个数组，似乎我的算法消耗的时间更少。我把我的算法贴在这里，我测量的时间正确吗?

console.time('process');

var result = []

function swapper(toSwap){
    let start = toSwap[0]
    let end = toSwap.slice(1)
    return end + start
}


function perm(str){
    let i = str.length
    let filling = i - 1

    let buckets = i*filling
    let tmpSwap = ''
    for(let j=0; j<filling; j++){
        if(j===0){
            result.push(str)
        }else{
          if(j === 1){
              tmpSwap = swapper(str.slice(1))
              result.push(str[0]+ tmpSwap)
              if(j === filling-1 && result.length < buckets){
                  perm(swapper(str))
              }

          }else{
              tmpSwap = swapper(tmpSwap)
              result.push(str[0]+ tmpSwap)
              if(j === filling-1 && result.length < buckets){
                  perm(swapper(str))
              }
          }
        }
    }

    if(result.length = buckets){
      return result
    }else{
      return 'something went wrong'
    }

}





console.log(perm('abcdefghijk'))

console.timeEnd('process');

一些受到Haskell启发的版本:

perms [] = [[]]
perms xs = [ x:ps | x <- xs , ps <- perms ( xs\\[x] ) ]

function perms(xs) { if (!xs.length) return [[]]; return xs.flatMap(x => { // get permutations of xs without x, then prepend x to each return perms(xs.filter(v => v!==x)).map(vs => [x, ...vs]); }); // or this duplicate-safe way, suggested by @M.Charbonnier in the comments // return xs.flatMap((x, i) => { // return perms(xs.filter((v, j) => i!==j)).map(vs => [x, ...vs]); // }); // or @user3658510's variant // return xs.flatMap((x, i) => { // return perms([...xs.slice(0,i),...xs.slice(i+1)]).map(vs => [x,...vs]); // }); } document.write(JSON.stringify(perms([1,2,3])));

有点晚了，但喜欢在这里添加一个稍微优雅的版本。可以是任何数组…

function permutator(inputArr) {
  var results = [];

  function permute(arr, memo) {
    var cur, memo = memo || [];

    for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
      cur = arr.splice(i, 1);
      if (arr.length === 0) {
        results.push(memo.concat(cur));
      }
      permute(arr.slice(), memo.concat(cur));
      arr.splice(i, 0, cur[0]);
    }

    return results;
  }

  return permute(inputArr);
}

添加ES6(2015)版本。也不会改变原始输入数组。工作在控制台Chrome…

const permutator = (inputArr) => {
  let result = [];

  const permute = (arr, m = []) => {
    if (arr.length === 0) {
      result.push(m)
    } else {
      for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
        let curr = arr.slice();
        let next = curr.splice(i, 1);
        permute(curr.slice(), m.concat(next))
     }
   }
 }

 permute(inputArr)

 return result;
}

所以…

permutator(['c','a','t']);

收益率…

[ [ 'c', 'a', 't' ],
  [ 'c', 't', 'a' ],
  [ 'a', 'c', 't' ],
  [ 'a', 't', 'c' ],
  [ 't', 'c', 'a' ],
  [ 't', 'a', 'c' ] ]

和…

permutator([1,2,3]);

收益率…

[ [ 1, 2, 3 ],
  [ 1, 3, 2 ],
  [ 2, 1, 3 ],
  [ 2, 3, 1 ],
  [ 3, 1, 2 ],
  [ 3, 2, 1 ] ]

我认为下面的解决方案的唯一不同之处在于，我在出现空情况前一步停止了递归。希望嵌入的评论是充分的解释。

function Permutations (A) // computes all possible ordered sequences of the entries in array A and returns them as an array of arrays
{
var perms = [];

for (var i = 0 ; i < A.length ; i++)
    {
    var rem = A.slice (0); // copy input array to retain remainder of elements after removing i'th element
    var el = rem.splice (i,1);
    if (A.length == 2) {perms.push ([el [0],rem [0]])} // recursion end case
    else 
        {
        var sub = Permutations (rem); // recursive call
        for (var s = 0 ; s < sub.length ; s++) // process recursive response, adding el to the start of each returned sequence
            {
            sub [s].splice (0,0,el [0]);
            perms.push (sub [s]);
            };
        };
    };

return perms ;

};// end of Permutations function

function swap(array1, index1, index2) {
    var temp;
    temp = array1[index1];
    array1[index1] = array1[index2];
    array1[index2] = temp;
}

function permute(a, l, r) {
    var i;
    if (l == r) {
        console.log(a.join(''));
    } else {
        for (i = l; i <= r; i++) {
            swap(a, l, i);
            permute(a, l + 1, r);
            swap(a, l, i);
        }
    }
}


permute(["A","B","C", "D"],0,3);

下面的函数排列任意类型的数组，并对发现的每个排列调用指定的回调函数:

/*
  Permutate the elements in the specified array by swapping them
  in-place and calling the specified callback function on the array
  for each permutation.

  Return the number of permutations.

  If array is undefined, null or empty, return 0.

  NOTE: when permutation succeeds, the array should be in the original state
  on exit!
*/
  function permutate(array, callback) {
    // Do the actual permuation work on array[], starting at index
    function p(array, index, callback) {
      // Swap elements i1 and i2 in array a[]
      function swap(a, i1, i2) {
        var t = a[i1];
        a[i1] = a[i2];
        a[i2] = t;
      }

      if (index == array.length - 1) {
        callback(array);
        return 1;
      } else {
        var count = p(array, index + 1, callback);
        for (var i = index + 1; i < array.length; i++) {
          swap(array, i, index);
          count += p(array, index + 1, callback);
          swap(array, i, index);
        }
        return count;
      }
    }

    if (!array || array.length == 0) {
      return 0;
    }
    return p(array, 0, callback);
  }

如果你这样称呼它:

  // Empty array to hold results
  var result = [];
  // Permutate [1, 2, 3], pushing every permutation onto result[]
  permutate([1, 2, 3], function (a) {
    // Create a copy of a[] and add that to result[]
    result.push(a.slice(0));
  });
  // Show result[]
  document.write(result);

我认为它将完全满足您的需要-用数组[1,2,3]的排列填充一个名为result的数组。结果是:

[[1,2,3],[1,3,2],[2,1,3],[2,3,1],[3,2,1],[3,1,2]]
