The set [1,2,3,…,n] contains a total of n! unique permutations.
By listing and labeling all of the permutations in order,
We get the following sequence (ie, for n = 3):
"123"
"132"
"213"
"231"
"312"
"321"
Given n and k, return the kth permutation sequence.
Note: Given n will be between 1 and 9 inclusive.
這道題其實有很強的規(guī)律可循。首先，n個元素的排列總數(shù)是n!。在下面的分析中，讓k的范圍是0 <= k < n!。（題目代碼實際上是1<=k<=n!)
可以看到一個規(guī)律，就是這n！個排列中，第一位的元素總是(n-1)!一組出現(xiàn)的，也就說如果p = k / (n-1)!，那么排列的最開始一個元素一定是arr[p]。
這個規(guī)律可以類推下去，在剩余的n-1個元素中逐漸挑選出第二個，第三個，...，到第n個元素。程序就結(jié)束。
