I have a program, that will find all the possible permutations of a word given as a command line argument, but am unable to get any output from the program, the program compiles fine, and when I have run through the program, i can't see what's wrong. Any ideas?
import java.io.*;
02
03 public class Anagrams
04 {
05 private static char [] word;
06 private static char [] permutation;
07 private static boolean [] characterUsed;
08
09
10
11 public static void main(String [] args)throws Exception
12 {
13
14 word = args[0].toCharArray();
15 permutation = new char[word.length];
16 characterUsed = new boolean[word.length];
17 printPermutations(0);
18 }//main
19
20 private static void printPermutations(int currentIndex)throws Exception
02 {
03
04 if(currentIndex == permutation.length)
05 System.out.println(permutation);
06 else
07 {
08 for(int index=0;index<word.length-1;index++)
09 {
10 //if the character at that index hasn't been used
11 if(!characterUsed[index]);
12 {
13 //mark character at this position as in use
14 characterUsed[index] = true;
15 //put the character in the permutation
16 permutation[index]= word[currentIndex];
17 printPermutations(currentIndex +1);
18 characterUsed[index] = false;
19 }//if
20 }//for
21 }//else
22 }//printPermutation
41 }//Anagrams
