Write a program that produces random permutations of the numbers 1 to 10. (Note: “Permutation” is a mathematical name for an arrangement.) For example, there are six permutations of the numbers 1,2,3: 123, 132, 231, 213, 312, and 321.

To generate a random permutation, you need to fill an ArrayList with the numbers 1 to 10 so that no two entries of the array have the same contents. You could do it by brute force, by calling Random.nextInt() until it produces a value that is not yet in the array. Instead, you should implement a smarter method. Make a second ArrayList and fill it with the numbers 1 to 10. Then pick one of those at random, remove it, and append it to the permutation ArrayList. Repeat ten times.
- Implement a class
PermutationGenerator with the following method:
ArrayList nextPermutation
-
Turn in your source code and a printed run output.
- The run output will consist of 10 lists of random permutations of the number 1 to 10. Example output is shown below:
Random Permutation List Generator
List 1: 4 6 8 1 9 7 10 5 3 2
List 2: 6 8 1 7 3 4 9 10 5 2
List 3: 2 4 9 6 8 1 10 5 7 3
List 4: 8 5 4 3 2 9 6 7 1 10
List 5: 10 3 2 6 8 9 5 7 4 1
List 6: 9 10 3 2 1 5 6 8 4 7
List 7: 3 8 5 9 4 2 10 1 6 7
List 8: 3 2 4 5 7 6 9 8 10 1
List 9: 4 1 5 10 8 3 6 2 7 9
List 10: 3 5 2 4 1 7 9 6 8 10
