You are given a string 'STR' consisting of lowercase English letters. Your task is to return all permutations of the given string in lexicographically increasing order.

String A is lexicographically less than string B, if either A is a prefix of B (and A ≠ B), or there exists such i (1 <= i <= min(|A|, |B|)), that A[i] < B[i], and for any j (1 <= j < i) A[i] = B[i]. Here |A| denotes the length of the string A.

For example :

If the string is “bca”, then its permutations in lexicographically increasing order are { “abc”, “acb”, “bac”, “bca”, “cab”, “cba” }.
Note:
Given string contains unique characters.
Problem approach

Create the function permute() and pass the input string, starting index, and ending index as parameters.
Using the parameters input string, 0 and size of string - 1, call this function
If L and R have the same value in this function, print the same string.

If not, execute a for loop from L to R and replace the current element with inputString[L].
Afterward, call the same method while increasing L's value by 1.
Then swap the previously swapped values once more to start the backtracking process.

You are given a string 'S'. Your task is to check whether the string is palindrome or not. For checking palindrome, consider alphabets and numbers only and ignore the symbols and whitespaces.

Note :

String 'S' is NOT case sensitive.

Example :

Let S = “c1 O$d@eeD o1c”.
If we ignore the special characters, whitespaces and convert all uppercase letters to lowercase, we get S = “c1odeedo1c”, which is a palindrome. Hence, the given string is also a palindrome.

CiscoCIS - Cyber InfrastructureUber



An m x n integer matrix matrix is presented to you with the following two characteristics:

Non-decreasing order is used to sort every row.
Each row's beginning integer is higher than the row's previous row's last integer.

Problem approach

Create two variables with values of i = 0 and j = n-1 for the row and column indexes using the given element, x.
Repeat this until i equals n.
The count of j is reduced after determining whether the current element exceeds x. omit the current column.
The count of i is increased after determining whether the current element is less than x. Don't include this row anymore.
To print the position and end, check to see if the element is equal.
It is not possible to print the Element.
