DSAJourney

Welcome to DSAJourney, a project dedicated to exploring and implementing data structures and algorithms (DSA) in Kotlin and Java. This repository includes solutions to common algorithmic problems, such as string permutations.

🚀 Project Overview

This project was initially written in Java and has been transformed into a Kotlin-based project to leverage Kotlin's modern features and concise syntax. The repository contains implementations of various data structures and algorithms, along with examples and explanations.

🚀 String Permutation Problem

The string permutation problem involves generating all possible permutations of a given string. This is a common problem in combinatorics and is useful in various applications such as generating passwords, solving puzzles, and more.

📖 How It Works

1. Input: A string is read from the input.txt file.
2. Processing: The program generates all permutations of the string using recursion.
3. Output: The permutations are printed to the console.

🧑‍💻 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Kotlin Compiler: Install Kotlin from Kotlin's official website.
• Java Development Kit (JDK): Ensure JDK 8 or higher is installed.
• Git: Install Git to clone the repository.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/mahersavara/DSAJourney.git
   cd DSAJourney

2. Compile and run the project:

   kotlinc src/Main.kt -include-runtime -d Main.jar
   java -jar Main.jar

Steps to Run the String Permutation Program

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/mahersavara/DSAJourney.git
   cd DSAJourney

2. Navigate to the string_permutation Folder:

   cd src/string_permutation

3. Compile and Run the Program:

   • For Kotlin:

     kotlinc StringPermutation.kt -include-runtime -d StringPermutation.jar
     java -jar StringPermutation.jar

   • For Java (if implemented in Java):

     javac Main.java
     java src.Main

4. Input File:

   • Modify the input.txt file to include your desired string for testing.
   • Example:

     abc
     

5. Output:

   • The program will print all permutations of the input string to the console.
   • Example:

     Input String: abc
     Permutations:
     abc
     acb
     bac
     bca
     cab
     cba
