Next Permutation Algorithm Explanation

✅ Day 83 of #100DaysOfLeetCode Problem: Next Permutation Difficulty: Medium Key Insight: To find the next permutation, we must generate the next lexicographically greater arrangement. The trick is to modify the array from the right side, where changes affect the order minimally. Approach: 1️⃣ Traverse from right → find the first index pivot where nums[i] < nums[i+1]. 👉 This marks the point where the next permutation can be formed. 2️⃣ If no pivot exists: 👉 The array is in descending order → reverse it to get the smallest permutation. 3️⃣ Otherwise: Find the element just greater than the pivot (search from the right). Swap them. Reverse the suffix after the pivot to make it the smallest possible. Complexity: Time: O(n) Space: O(1) #LeetCode #Java #ProblemSolving #CodingChallenge #100DaysOfCode #DSA #LearningEveryday
