Permutation Sequence -- leetcode

The set

[1,2,3,…,n]

contains a total of n!
unique permutations.

By listing and labeling all of the permutations in order,

We get the following sequence (ie, for n = 3):

"123"

"132"

"213"

"231"

"312"

"321"

Given n and k, return the kth permutation sequence.

Note: Given n will be between 1 and 9 inclusive.

class Solution {
public:
    string getPermutation(int n, int k) {
        vector<char> pers(n, '1');
        int fact = n;
        for (int i=1; i<n; i++) {
            fact *= i;
            pers[i] = '1' + i;
        }
        
        k--;
        string ans;
        for (int i=0; i<n; i++) {
            fact /= (n-i);
            const int j = k / fact;
            k %= fact;
            
            ans.push_back(pers[j]);
            pers.erase(pers.begin()+j);
        }
        
        return ans;
    }
};

在leetcode上，实际执行时间为5ms。

基本思路：

参照普通进制的方法，求出每位的权重，从高位到低位利用整除和取余求出每位的值。

区别为，此权重都是阶乘值，不像普通进制，为基数的各次幂。
