After reading so many post of \"generating permutation of string\", I tried to write it in Java. 1) Take the first character start swapping with rest of the character in the

    The method printPermutation is the core of your recursion. It doesn't capture the start and end indices properly. This is important because you are trying to swap in chunks

    Following change should make it work.

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        char a[]= "123".toCharArray();
        printPermutation(a, 0, a.length);
    }
    
    private static void printPermutation(char[] a, int startIndex, int endIndex) {
        if (startIndex == endIndex)//reached end of recursion, print the state of a
            System.out.println(new String(a));
        else {
            //try to move the swap window from start index to end index
            //i.e 0 to a.length-1
            for (int x = startIndex; x < endIndex; x++) {
                swap(a, startIndex, x);
                printPermutation(a, startIndex + 1, endIndex);
                swap(a, startIndex, x);
            }
        }
    }
    
    private static void swap(char[] a, int i, int x) {
        char t = a[i];
        a[i] = a[x];
        a[x] = t;
    }

    The general idea of your permutation algorithm is correct, but you forgot to handle some of possible cases there.

    First. You should add printPermutation(a, i + 1) before going into loop.

    Second. Call printPermutation(a, i + 1) instead of printPermutation(a, x) in the loop.

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        char a[]= "1234".toCharArray();
        printPermutation(a, 0);
    }
    
    private static void printPermutation(char[] a, int i) {
        if (i == a.length - 1) System.out.println(new String(a));
        else {
            printPermutation(a, i + 1);
            for (int x = i + 1; x < a.length; x++) {
                swap(a, i, x);
                printPermutation(a, i + 1);
                reswap(a, i, x);
            }
        }
    }
    
    private static void swap(char[] a, int i, int x) {
        char tmp = a[i];
        a[i] = a[x];
        a[x] = tmp;
    }
    
    private static void reswap(char[] a, int i, int x) {
        swap(a, i, x);
    }
