A Python utility to generate all permutations of a list of elements using Heap's algorithm.

Permutations Generator

A Python utility to generate all permutations of a list of elements using Heap's algorithm.

Overview

This script generates all possible permutations of a given list of elements. It uses Heap's algorithm, an efficient recursive approach that generates permutations by swapping elements in a systematic manner.

Usage

Run the script from the command line with a list of elements to permute:

python permutations.py element1 element2 element3 ...

Example

python permutations.py 1 2 3

Output:

['1', '2', '3']
---------------------------------------
1 2 3 
1 3 2 
2 1 3 
2 3 1 
3 1 2 
3 2 1 

Requirements

• Python 3.6 or higher

Notes

• Elements are treated as strings when passed via command line
• The total number of permutations for n elements is n! (factorial)
• For large input lists (n > 10), execution time and memory usage will increase significantly
