Next Permutation - Interviewbit Solution


Problem Description:

Implement the next permutation, which rearranges numbers into the numerically next greater permutation of numbers for a given array A of size N.

If such arrangement is not possible, it must be rearranged as the lowest possible order i.e., sorted in an ascending order.


Note:

1. The replacement must be in-place, do **not** allocate extra memory.
2. DO NOT USE LIBRARY FUNCTION FOR NEXT PERMUTATION. Use of Library         
   functions will disqualify your submission retroactively and will       
   give you penalty points.

Input Format:

The first and the only argument of input has an array of integers, A. 

Output Format:

Return an array of integers, representing the next permutation of the given array. 

Constraints:

1 <= N <= 5e5 
1 <= A[i] <= 1e9

Examples:

Input 1:
    A = [1, 2, 3]
Output 1:
    [1, 3, 2]
Input 2:
    A = [3, 2, 1]
Output 2:
    [1, 2, 3]
Input 3:
    A = [1, 1, 5]
Output 3:
    [1, 5, 1]
Input 4:
    A = [20, 50, 113]
Output 4:
    [20, 113, 50]
