这是个很有趣的问题。

这是我的java版本。在我检查其他贡献者的评论之前，从弄清楚模式到完全完成代码，我花了大约3个小时。很高兴看到我的想法和别人一样。

O (n)的解决方案。老实说，如果时间只有15分钟，并且要求在白板上完成完整的代码，我将会失败。

以下是我的解决方案的一些有趣点:

避免任何排序。 完全避免字符串操作 实现O(logN)空间复杂度

我在代码中添加了详细注释，并在每个步骤中添加了大O。

  public int findNextBiggestNumber(int input  )   {
    //take 1358642 as input for example.
    //Step 1: split the whole number to a list for individual digital   1358642->[2,4,6,8,5,3,1]
    // this step is O(n)
    int digitalLevel=input;

    List<Integer> orgNumbersList=new ArrayList<Integer>()   ;

    do {
        Integer nInt = new Integer(digitalLevel % 10);
        orgNumbersList.add(nInt);

        digitalLevel=(int) (digitalLevel/10  )  ;


    } while( digitalLevel >0)    ;
    int len= orgNumbersList.size();
    int [] orgNumbers=new int[len]  ;
    for(int i=0;i<len;i++){
        orgNumbers[i ]  =  orgNumbersList.get(i).intValue();
    }
    //step 2 find the first digital less than the digital right to it
    // this step is O(n)


    int firstLessPointer=1;
    while(firstLessPointer<len&&(orgNumbers[firstLessPointer]>orgNumbers[ firstLessPointer-1 ])){
        firstLessPointer++;
    }
     if(firstLessPointer==len-1&&orgNumbers[len-1]>=orgNumbers[len-2]){
         //all number is in sorted order like 4321, no answer for it, return original
         return input;
     }

    //when step 2 step finished, firstLessPointer  pointing to number 5

     //step 3 fristLessPointer found, need to find  to  first number less than it  from low digital in the number
    //This step is O(n)
    int justBiggerPointer=  0 ;

    while(justBiggerPointer<firstLessPointer&& orgNumbers[justBiggerPointer]<orgNumbers[firstLessPointer]){
        justBiggerPointer++;
    }
    //when step 3 finished, justBiggerPointer  pointing to 6

    //step 4 swap the elements  of justBiggerPointer and firstLessPointer .
    // This  is O(1) operation   for swap

   int tmp=  orgNumbers[firstLessPointer] ;

    orgNumbers[firstLessPointer]=  orgNumbers[justBiggerPointer]  ;
     orgNumbers[justBiggerPointer]=tmp ;


     // when step 4 finished, the list looks like        [2,4,5,8,6,3,1]    the digital in the list before
     // firstLessPointer is already sorted in our previous operation
     // we can return result from this list  but  in a differrent way
    int result=0;
    int i=0;
    int lowPointer=firstLessPointer;
    //the following pick number from list from  the position just before firstLessPointer, here is 8 -> 5 -> 4 -> 2
    //This Operation is O(n)
    while(lowPointer>0)        {
        result+= orgNumbers[--lowPointer]* Math.pow(10,i);
        i++;
    }
    //the following pick number from list   from position firstLessPointer
    //This Operation is O(n)
    while(firstLessPointer<len)        {
        result+= orgNumbers[firstLessPointer++ ]* Math.pow(10,i);
        i++;
    }
     return  result;

}

下面是在Intellj中运行的结果:

959879532-->959892357
1358642-->1362458
1234567-->1234576
77654321-->77654321
38276-->38627
47-->74

function foo(num){
 sortOld = num.toString().split("").sort().join('');
 do{
    num++;
   sortNew = num.toString().split("").sort().join('');
 }while(sortNew!==sortOld);
 return num;
}

你的想法

我想从找到第一个比个位小的数字的下标开始。然后我将旋转子集中的最后一个数字，这样它是由相同的数字组成的下一个最大的数字，但卡住了。

其实还不错。您不仅要考虑最后一位数字，还要考虑所有比当前考虑的不那么重要的数字。在此之前，我们有一个单调的数字序列，即最右边的数字比它右边的邻居小。把

1234675
    ^

下一个有相同数字的大数是

1234756

将找到的数字交换为最后一位数字(考虑的数字中最小的数字)，其余数字按递增顺序排列。

解决方案(在Java中)可能是以下(我相信这里的朋友可以找到更好的): 从字符串的末尾开始交换数字，直到得到一个更高的数字。 也就是说，首先从下位开始移动。然后到达下一个更高的地方，直到你到达下一个更高的地方。 然后对剩下的进行排序。 在你的例子中，你会得到:

38276 --> 38267 (smaller) --> 38627 Found it    
    ^        ^                  ^        

 public static int nextDigit(int number){
    String num = String.valueOf(number);        
    int stop = 0;       
    char [] chars = null;
    outer:
        for(int i = num.length() - 1; i > 0; i--){          
            chars = num.toCharArray();
            for(int j = i; j > 0; j--){
                char temp = chars[j];
                chars[j] = chars[j - 1];
                chars[j - 1] = temp;
                if(Integer.valueOf(new String(chars)) > number){
                    stop = j;                   
                    break outer;                                
                }               
            }               
        }

    Arrays.sort(chars, stop, chars.length); 
    return Integer.valueOf(new String(chars));
}

在Java中，这个算法比这个算法更简洁

   public static int permutate2(int number){
        String[] numArray = String.valueOf(number).split("");

        for(int i = numArray.length - 1; i > 0; i--){
            int current = Integer.valueOf(numArray[i]);
            int previous = Integer.valueOf(numArray[i - 1]);

            if(previous < current){
                String[] rest = String.valueOf(number).substring(i, numArray.length).split("");
                Arrays.sort(rest);

                String picker = rest[0];
                int pickerIndex = 0;
                for(int n = 0; n < rest.length ; n++){
                    if(Integer.valueOf(rest[n]) > previous){
                        picker = rest[n];
                        pickerIndex = n;
                        break;
                    }
                }
                numArray[i - 1] = picker;
                rest[pickerIndex] = String.valueOf(previous);
                Arrays.sort(rest);

                String newNumber = "";
                for(int z = 0; z <= i - 1; z++){
                    newNumber += numArray[z];
                }
                for(String z : rest){
                    newNumber += z;
                }

                return Integer.valueOf(newNumber);
            }
        }

        return number;
   }

我们需要找到最右边的0位，后面是1，然后将最右边的0位翻转为1。

例如，我们的输入是487，也就是二进制的111100111。

我们把后面有1的0往右翻转最多

所以我们得到 111101111

但是现在我们多了一个1，少了一个0，所以我们减少了右边1的个数 位增加1，并将0位的no增加1，得到

111101011 -二进制491

int getNextNumber(int input)
{
    int flipPosition=0;
    int trailingZeros=0;
    int trailingOnes=0;
    int copy = input;

    //count trailing zeros
    while(copy != 0 && (copy&1) == 0 )
    {
        ++trailingZeros;

        //test next bit
        copy = copy >> 1;
    }

    //count trailing ones
    while(copy != 0 && (copy&1) == 1 )
    {
        ++trailingOnes;

        //test next bit
        copy = copy >> 1;
    }

    //if we have no 1's (i.e input is 0) we cannot form another pattern with 
    //the same number of 1's which will increment the input, or if we have leading consecutive
    //ones followed by consecutive 0's up to the maximum bit size of a int
    //we cannot increase the input whilst preserving the original no of 0's and
    //1's in the bit pattern
    if(trailingZeros + trailingOnes  == 0 || trailingZeros + trailingOnes == 31)
        return -1;

    //flip first 0 followed by a 1 found from the right of the bit pattern
    flipPosition = trailingZeros + trailingOnes+1;
    input |= 1<<(trailingZeros+trailingOnes);

    //clear fields to the right of the flip position
    int mask = ~0 << (trailingZeros+trailingOnes);
    input &= mask;

    //insert a bit pattern to the right of the flip position that will contain
    //one less 1 to compensate for the bit we switched from 0 to 1
    int insert = flipPosition-1;
    input |= insert;

    return input;
