Find an algorithm (subroutine) that when called repeatedly with the same character-string variable that is initialized with n characters, all different, will cycle through all the permutations of those n characters, so that for example, when called 24 times with a string of length 4, will have cycled that string through all 24 permutations and returned it to its initial state.

Can you give the output for 4 letter solution (ABCD) or 5 letter solution (ABCDE)... if it wouldn't be too hard... I am better at seeing things than reading things
