31. Next Permutation

https://leetcode.com/problems/next-permutation/

solution

• Find the breakpoint from the end which breaks the non-increasing sequence. [1, 3, 5, 4, 2] -> 3

• Traverse from end in right part and find the first element greater than breakpoint. [1, 4, 5, 3, 2] -> 34互换

• Reverse the right part. [1, 4, 2, 3, 5]
