I dont quite follow. If you mean something like
123
132
213
231
312
321
then I would suggest a character array?? or maybe an integer array if you put each value into a single element.
the number of combinations you will have will be
<# of digits in number>! <-(factorial)
which you can define a simple recursive algorithm for
int factorial(int n)
{
assert(n>=0);
if(n==0)
return 1;
return n * factorial(n-1);
}
and your for loop would be something like
int control = factorial
;
for(int i = 0;i<control;i++)
{
// change the numbers arround
// output numbers
}
