Next permutation-Coding question asked by Sprinklr, Goldmann Sachs

Problem Statement:

Given an array of integers nums, find the next permutation of nums.

A permutation of an array of integers is an arrangement of its members into a sequence or linear order. The next permutation of an array of integers is the next lexicographically greater permutation of its integer

Input Format:

Number of Rows in Pascal Triangle

Output Format:

List containing arrays representing rows of Pascal Triangle

Sample Input 1:

[1,3,5,4,2]

Sample Output 1:

[1,4,2,3,5]

Sample Input 2:

[3,2,1]

Sample Output 2:

[1,2,3]

Constraints:

1 <= nums.length <= 100
0 <= nums[i] <= 100

Approach:

1. Start iterating from backwards.
2. Find an index i-th such that nums[i]>nums[i-1]. Now on the right side of nums[i-1], you need to find an index j, such that nums[j] is just larger that nums[i-1]. For this, sort the array after nums[i-1] first.
3. Swap nums[i-1] & nums[j]. Sort the array after nums[i-1] again.
4. If iterator has reached first element position, it means no more permutations in increasing lexicographic order are possible, i.e. descending order is there. Therefore, reverse the array for this case.
