You are given a string, find its rank among all its permutations sorted lexicographically. 

Examples:

Input : str[] = "acb"
Output : Rank = 2
Input : str[] = "string"
Output : Rank = 598
Input : str[] = "cba"
Output : Rank = 6

We have already discussed solutions to find Lexicographic rank of string In this post, we use the STL function “next_permutation ()” to generate all possible permutations of the given string and, as it gives us permutations in lexicographic order, we will put an iterator to find the rank of each string. While iterating when Our permuted string becomes identical to the original input string, we break from the loop and the iterator value for the last iteration is our required result. 

Implementation:

C++




// C++ program to print rank of
// string using next_permute()
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to print rank of string
// using next_permute()
int findRank(string str)
{
    // store original string
    string orgStr = str;
 
    // Sort the string in lexicographically
    // ascending order
    sort(str.begin(), str.end());
 
    // Keep iterating until
    // we reach equality condition
    long int i = 1;
    do {
        // check for nth iteration
        if (str == orgStr)
            break;
 
        i++;
    } while (next_permutation(str.begin(), str.end()));
 
    // return iterator value
    return i;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    string str = "cba";
    cout << findRank(str);
    return 0;
}


Java





Python3




# Python program to print rank of
# string using itertools.permutations
import itertools
 
# Function to print rank of string
# using itertools.permutations
def findRank(str):
    # Store original string and
     
    # Sort the string in lexicographically
    # ascending order
    orgStr = ''.join(sorted(str))
     
    # Create an dictionary to handle
    # repeating characters in Python
    # while using itertools.permutations
    d=[]
 
    # Keep iterating until we reach equality condition
    i = 1
    for permutation in itertools.permutations(orgStr):
        if permutation not in d:
            d.append(permutation)
            # check for nth iteration
            if ''.join(permutation) == str:
                break
            i += 1
 
    # Return iterator value
    return i
 
# Driver code
if __name__ == '__main__':
    str = 'bca'
    print(findRank(str))

Javascript




function findRank(str) {
    const MOD = 1000003;
    const n = str.length;
    let rank = 1;
    let factorial = 1;
 
    for (let i = 0; i < n; i++) {

        for (let j = i + 1; j < n; j++) {
            if (str[j] < str[i]) {

            }
        }
        rank = (rank + (smaller * factorial)) % MOD;
        factorial = (factorial * (n - i)) % MOD;
    }
 
    return rank;
}
 
// Driver code
const str = "cba";
console.log(findRank(str));


Output

6



Time Complexity: O(n log n)
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
