Firstly, there's no need to be so heated up for nothing you can save your energies for your solution finding activity. I wasn't trying to be rude or mean even. All I wanted to make sure was that you understand the problem well, which I did not think you had. Since your understanding of the problem is very important for your answer to be in the right direction otherwise you cannot expect that to happen.
And to answer some of your questions:
>If i didn't know anything 'bout the question, i wouldn't have had posted it!
You don't know thats the reason you have posted the question and posted
how you'd go about solving it. Don't try to show-off now that you knew so much.
And if you know so much :
>I know htat for n elements, there are n! possible permutations
>And I think that the procedure should be something like this:
>(to make it recursive) enumerate the permutatipons of n-1 in each
>time that the recursive algorithm is calle
Then why haven't you already started working on it with whatever you know of it ? Where's the code to show us your effort. All this knowledge yet no code to post means, quite straightforwardly, no effort put in till yet.
>It doesn't matter if you or no one else doesn't share any ideas
>I've always come up with solutions of my own
Hmm... Why would somebody like you then start a thread asking for help and solutions of others, in the first place.
