Permutations

Problem statement

Given an array nums of distinct integers, return all the possible permutations. You can return the answer in any order.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,3]Output: [[1,2,3],[1,3,2],[2,1,3],[2,3,1],[3,1,2],[3,2,1]]

Example 2:

Input: nums = [0,1]Output: [[0,1],[1,0]]

Example 3:

Input: nums = [1]Output: [[1]]

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 6
  • -10 <= nums[i] <= 10
  • All the integers of nums are unique.

My solution

/**
* @param {number[]} nums
* @return {number[][]}
*/
var permute = function(nums) {
const result = []

const queue = []

queue.push([[], nums])

while (queue.length) {
// console.log(JSON.stringify(queue))
const [current, available] = queue.shift();

if (available.length === 0) {
result.push(current)
continue
}

for (let i = 0; i < available.length; i++) {
const num = available[i];
queue.push([
[...current, num],
[...available.slice(0, i), ...available.slice(i + 1)]
])
}
}

return result
};
