Following Program is to generate all permutations of a given list without using inbuilt module in python
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 | def permutations(lis): #if list is empty then simply return n=len(lis) if n==0: return 0 if n==1: return [lis] #Create an empty list that will store current permutations l=[] for i in range(n): m=lis[i] #extract m from the list and #create a new remaning list remlist=lis[:i]+lis[i+1:] for p in permutations(remlist): l.append([m]+p) return l #Main Program data = list('123') for p in permutations(data): print p |
