來至於Codewars題目Permutations

在這個kata中，您必須建立輸入字串的所有排列，並刪除重複項（如果存在）。這意味著，您必須以所有可能的順序從輸入中洗牌所有字母。
示例：
permutations（'a'）；#['a']
permutations（'ab'）；#['ab'，'ba']
permutations（'aabb'）；#['aabb'，'abab'，'abba'，'baab'，'baba'，'bbaa']
排列的順序無關緊要。

我的解法

def permutations(nums):
    res = list(set(permute(nums)))
    return res

def permute(nums):
    res = []
    if len(nums) > 1:
        all_list = list(nums)
        for i in range(len(all_list)):
            heat = all_list.pop(i)
            res.extend([heat + one for one in permute(''.join(all_list))])
            all_list.insert(i, heat)
    else:
        res.extend(nums)
    return res

import itertools

def permutations(string):
    return list("".join(p) for p in set(itertools.permutations(string)))

permutations和combinations都是得到一個迭代器。
combinations方法重點在組合，permutations方法重在排列。
